Indoor air quality is extremely neglected by most people and contributes to health issues. A basic gesture of allowing fresh air indoors, can save energy and solves a lot of the problems.

Overview

Vāyu is a modular device, a learning window controller that lets in fresh air when its needed by opening or closing windows. Vāyu facilitates intelligent control of air quality using existing windows, made possible by using a combination of sensors and internet data, and learning user behaviour patterns.

 

Research

An average person spends 80% of their life indoors. Indoor air quality is extremely neglected by most people and contributes to health issues. There is more to “opening and closing windows”.
