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.

Customer Needs: Lamp Post Monitor Since our group is the primary customer of this project currently, all of the VOC were determined by us.
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?
