How IoT Can Improve Indoor Air Quality
When lint blocks the airflow of an HVAC system it makes a room not only warmer but potentially more humid. Unmitigated humidity creates the perfect environment for mold to grow. Numerous studies show that breathing volatile organic compounds (VOCs) like mold leads to adverse health effects, such as coughing, eye irritation, headaches, aggravated asthma, allergic reactions, and drowsiness. Plus, poor indoor air quality (IAQ), from temperature to humidity, bothers guests, making repeat visits unlikely.
