Background: AQMProject began Fall 2012 with P13625

Team was charged with building an air quality monitor with increased functionality over previous models.

Previous model was created by Berkeley Air Quality monitoring Group in conjunction with University of California Berkeley.Known as UCB-PATS

The AQM designed by RIT added the increased functionality of detecting CO in addition to temperature, humidity, and particulate matter(PM).

Background: AQMTo improve performance and feasibility, broke

project down into 2 similar monitorsBoth will monitor temperature, humidity, and

PMFirst monitor will record CO levelsSecond monitor will record NOx and SOx levels

VOC and VOE are basically the same, the following slides contain information from the original AQM that monitors CO

VOC Review: Customer Needs: AQMCustomer

needs:Primarily

need monitor to have functionality of UCB-PATS

Additionally want to monitor CO and humidity

VOC Review: Technical Goals: AQMMonitor should have all capabilities of the

UCB-PATS monitorEnsure all sensors record continuous dataIncrease the battery lifeImprove upon UICreate a monitor which is discrete in

subject’s homeMonitor is capable of resisting outside

environment, shipping, and installation

Project Background: Lamp Post MonitorAcross the globe there is a

growing issue with air quality and its impact upon personal health.

The purpose of this project is to develop a monitor that can visually show bystanders what kind of contaminants they are being exposed to in real time.

Hopefully, by showing people this it might push for a movement to reduce environmental emissions and improve air quality.

QuestionsWhat are possible issues that could arise with

lamp post monitors installed on campus?Do you have any suggestions for the design of

the lamp post monitor?Does the lamp post monitor seem like a

feasible MSD project?If you could change anything about these

projects what would you change?Any comments or questions regarding our

VOC or VOE?
