The opportunity

Make indoor air easier to understand.

People often have little information to compare indoor air, while building operators receive limited recognition for investing in healthier spaces. Open Healthy Spaces proposes using AirGradient’s open-source app and portable monitors to help communities understand public spaces.

Proposed 12-month, multi-country pilot

Learn what useful comparison makes possible.

Useful comparison depends on measurement quality, context, and responsible data sharing. The proposed work should evaluate how the information is used and whether it contributes to changed decisions.

Community measurements

Support people in assessing spaces with consistent methods and useful context.

Open evidence

Map indoor-air measurements and make the evidence useful for research and public understanding.

Practical change

Explore whether visible information encourages people and building operators to improve indoor air.

Seeking implementation and funding partners

Develop the next step together.

This is a proposed collaboration seeking support. The scope, partner locations, budget, and evaluation plan would be developed with implementation and funding partners.
