Learn how to Quantify the Clean Air Delivery Rate (CADR) of Portable Air Cleaners (PACs)
Accurately evaluating indoor air cleaning interventions requires more than simple on/off measurements; It demands detailed insight into how devices actually operate in real-world environments.
The experts in this HOBO Thought Leader webinar explore and explain how operational plug load monitoring can enhance the interpretation of indoor air quality (IAQ) data across a range of intervention studies. This session draws on recent field experience from three real-world settings: homes of U.S. military veterans in Chicago, K–12 schools across Illinois, and California homes using evaporative coolers during wildfire smoke events.
IAQ Monitoring Webinar Topics:
- How plug load data loggers installed on portable air cleaners (PACs) can be used to quantify the amount of clean air delivered over time, including in-situ clean air delivery rate (CADR)
- How PAC operational patterns vary among study participants in both residential and school environments
- How combining detailed PAC operational data with time-resolved IAQ measurements provides deeper insights than binary on/off data or no operational data at all
- How plug load data from both PACs and HVAC systems such as evaporative coolers (ECs) can be used to conditionally analyze indoor and outdoor particulate matter (PM) concentrations
- How this combined approach can be applied to evaluate the effectiveness of a temporary DIY filtration solution for ECs for mitigating fine particulate matter infiltration from wildfire smoke
This webinar is ideal for researchers, building scientists, and IAQ professionals seeking to strengthen real-world intervention studies with more nuanced operational data and improved interpretation of indoor particulate matter measurements.
