The Air Quality and Wellbeing module in BuildOT One is indoor air quality monitoring software. It tracks CO2, PM2.5, PM10, TVOC, temperature and humidity in every room you instrument. Default alerts follow WELL v2 limits, so teams see poor air early and can act before occupants complain.
| Key fact | Detail |
|---|---|
| Module | Air Quality and Wellbeing |
| Part of | BuildOT One |
| What it does | Monitors indoor air quality, raises alerts and scores IAQ over time |
| Data sources | Wireless IAQ sensors including 10-parameter sensors and duct sensors (battery about 1 year) |
| Integrations | BACnet, Modbus and MQTT, so data can reach a campus BMS |
| Typical users | Facility managers, school and campus operators, HSE and wellbeing teams |
What Air Quality and Wellbeing does
- Monitors air quality. Track CO2, PM2.5, PM10, TVOC, temperature and humidity.
- Shows sensor-level data. See live readings by building, floor, zone and sensor.
- Raises alerts. Default thresholds follow WELL v2, which is 900 ppm CO2 and 15 µg/m3 PM2.5.
- Scores air quality. Aggregated IAQ scores make it easy to compare rooms and buildings.
- Explains the score. Parameter-level insight shows how each reading contributes to overall air quality.
- Flags risk. Conditions that could affect occupant health are highlighted so teams can respond fast.
- Finds patterns. Historical trends show recurring problems such as poor ventilation at certain hours.

Who uses it
Schools, universities and offices use it to show that indoor air is under control. At HCT, 10-parameter IAQ sensors run across 11 campuses and 59 buildings, and the data is available to the campus BMS over BACnet.
Works with
- Comfort and Climate for temperature and humidity control
- AirBMS to link air quality to ventilation equipment
- Automation Hub to trigger actions on poor air
- Indoor air quality products and gateways

Frequently asked questions
Which air quality parameters are monitored?
CO2, PM2.5, PM10, TVOC, temperature and humidity, depending on the sensor model.
What are the default alert limits?
They follow WELL v2, with 900 ppm for CO2 and 15 µg/m3 for PM2.5. You can adjust thresholds to suit your building.
Does this help with WELL?
The module supports data collection for WELL. Any WELL assessment is a separate process run by the assessor.
Can the data go to my BMS?
Yes. Data can be shared over BACnet, as it is for the HCT campuses.
