An IoT-based Approach to Air Circulation within a Specific Room Environment

Abstract

IoT (Internet of Things) is a concept that has been used extensively due to its acceptance and benefits if offers while used across several domains. Good fresh air with the right mix of particulates is what is needed today to ward off respiratory disorders. An important concern that needs to be addressed is how to provide this fresh air in today’s living environment. In this work, an IoT-based approach has been used to effectively increase the efficiency and overall air quality within indoor spaces. Several parameters like using temperature sensor to sense temperature, humidity sensor to sense humidity, Smoke sensor to collect data from the different gases, and many more other sensors are used to collect data from dust and air particulates. Fuzzy logic algorithms are used to check whether the levels of the gases will cause discomfort or breathing difficulties in the people who are currently within the confines of the area. An automated air ventilation and filtration system is used to either increase or decrease the airflow of the system to mitigate the air quality degradation and bring the system back to an equilibrium state therefore maintaining fresh air circulation.
