[3:42] Mr. Konway introduces indoor air quality and the benefits of measuring it. One of the first techniques was the use of canaries in coal mines. Continuous air quality ensures that concerns are addressed before they become widespread. Other benefits include saving energy without compromising the environment of an infrastructure or the occupants' health. Clean air is due to removing pollutants at the source and infrastructure material that doesn’t compromise health and efficient clean air devices.

[8:18] Mr. Konway focuses on the following pollutants and their sensor technologies, starting with particulate matter, the most harmful and common air pollutant. Studies have shown a correlation between high concentrations of this pollutant and a drop in productivity. Carbon dioxide can affect cognitive function. Volatile organic compounds (VOC) commonly enter a building through materials such as paint and carpet. Radon is the second cause of lung cancer after smoking. The last pollutant he covers is ozone, formed from high voltage and reactions with Nox or VOCs, UV light, and oxygen.

[24:56] Mr. Konway describes relative humidity's role in transmitting a pathogen or virus in occupied spaces.

[25:52]Mr. Konway reviews how IAQ data gives insight into the filtration system and slows down viral spread. It can assist building management in ensuring that radon is not present, showing that the equipment is working properly and when efficiency decreases.

[28:35] Mr. Konway reviews the key benchmarks to strive for when monitoring occupied spaces, including the concentration of particulate matter, carbon dioxide, radon, relative humidity, and volatile organic compounds.

[29:51] Mr. Konway concludes with key takeaways from his presentation, including device utilization, calibration, and what gases it will measure. Other considerations should focus on evaluating air quality monitoring companies and the project's goals.
