Continuous air quality monitoring uses permanently installed sensors that log measurements every one to five minutes and stream them to a cloud dashboard. Unlike a periodic test, the data is live — facilities teams can see CO₂ climbing in a meeting room, particulates spiking after a delivery, or humidity drifting overnight, and respond in the same shift.
Real-time indoor air monitoring is most valuable in spaces where occupancy and conditions change quickly: workplaces, classrooms, healthcare settings, hospitality and event venues. It is also the only practical way to evidence ventilation effectiveness across a long reporting period.
