Awair
Tracking temperature, humidity, C02, chemicals, and dust, Awair displays these 5 readings using a color-coded system, so you’ll know at a glance if something is off. And let’s face it, it’s always nice to be reassured by a glance as well. For added simplicity, Awair connects to an app and makes recommendations for improving the indoor air quality based on the data it collects. On point with the mid-century modern look, the ‘wood and white’ unit is constructed with walnut wood and deemed to be ‘100% toxin-free’.
Foobot
Coming in a minimalist, techie’s dream design, this tall, narrow monitor relies on a color code system to give an immediate visual cue to the indoor air quality. Blue for ‘breath easy,’ red for ‘open a window, stat.’ The unit tracks the usual particulate matter suspects, chemical pollutants, like VOCs, temperature, and humidity. It also stores all of the data and provides charts of various pollutants over time, giving owners the ability to ascertain the source of problematic air quality and make changes.
Speck
With its (very) clever name and simplified purpose, the Speck monitor tracks only fine particulate matter. Providing an easy to decipher, bright touch screen that instantly shows you how certain actions impact your air quality, you can have fun playing ‘what happens if I’: burn a candle, vacuum, open the window, etc.
Joy Wood
Joy grew up in the natural beauty of the North Okanagan, nestled near the foot of the Monashee Mountains. Hailing from a family of home builders, both the environment and home construction became closely intertwined in her youth. Today, she and her builder hubby are raising their family in Vancouver, where she avidly follows the current sustainable construction trends as the city aims for the title of ‘Greenest City’ by 2020.
