The Indoorco2map.com Website got two small updates, both related to the adoption of the Global Open Indoor Air Quality Standards (GO IAQS) from @goaqs.bsky.social. First change is the option to display the Air Quality of the locations in its 3-Color scheme representing Good / Moderate / Unhealthy.
colorful green and pink pastel graphic titled “Things That Will Stop the Spread of COVID” with a green check mark showing a person wearing an N95. Below, under “Things That Won’t” with red X marks: surgical masks, handwashing, elbow coughing, various potions, being young and healthy, potatoes in socks, healing crystals, staying 6 feet apart

YES to N95 masks, no to potatoes in your socks

At 18:00 GMT I’ll be talking about indoorCO2 monitoring and community science with @aurel.indoorco2map.com at Fluconf. We will be giving an overview of indoorco2map.com and the autocruller package. It will be streamed to Youtube Live. Please join us!

Aurel and I will be giving a talk about indoorco2map.com. Please join us! It should be a lot of fun
Time request help from the crowd! One of the things I want to add to IndoorCO2map is Support for stationary CO2-Sensors which transmit continously (be it from stores, restaurants, museums etc. I have the technical side mostly done. Now I am looking into which devices are best suited for this
Chart C.1.2.4 of ImpAQS – Final Report von McLeod, Hopfe et al. excerpt from the summary describing the main point of the chart: "For example, when the outside air temperatures are 10 °C or below, mechanically ventilated classrooms have on average 450–600 ppm lower daily mean CO2 concentrations than naturally ventilated schools. )". It also shows a large seasonal variation of the values, with the summer being significantly worse.
Diagram by Beck, Rojas et al. showing measured CO₂ concentrations as a function of temperature, differentiated between mechanical ventilation and natural ventilation. Mechanical ventilation exhibits an average CO₂ concentration of around 1000 ppm, largely independent of outdoor temperature. In contrast, naturally ventilated spaces show higher CO₂ concentrations at lower temperatures. At 0 °C, concentrations exceed 2000 ppm, and even at 15 °C they are still around 1400 ppm.
Comparing the data with such studies done in schools it shows that aside from some concert venues or pubs there are barely any places with worse air quality then schools of many countires - it’s hard to call this anything other than a complete societal disregard for children.
With the year coming to an end it’s time to look back what happened this year with indoorco2map.com and even more importantly what the goals for next year are: a big app overhaul, support for stationary sensors providing live data, more community events and more collaboration. Details below ↓
On today’s @WorldVentil8Day, thanks to everyone contributing to indoorco2map.com. from grassroots initiatives to institutions and individuals, together we’re making real progress toward better indoor air quality, with many promising developments this year.
Zum #WorldVentil8Day möchten wir auf die #IndoorCO2Map hinweisen, ein unterstützenswertes Projekt von @aurel.indoorco2map.com, an dem ihr euch via Handy-App und einem CO2-Messgerät (Aranet4, Inkbird IAM-T1, Airvalent oder AirSpot) beteiligen könnt:
