Why Outdoor Air Quality Matters for Indoor Air Quality Management

December 30, 2024

When managing indoor air quality (IAQ), it's easy to focus exclusively on what happens inside your home. However, outdoor air quality plays a critical role, especially when it comes to fine particulate matter, or PM2.5. These microscopic particles, produced by sources like vehicle emissions, industrial activity, and wildfires, can enter your home through ventilation, open windows, and even tiny cracks in the building envelope.

High levels of PM2.5 outdoors can compromise indoor air, no matter how advanced your HVAC or air purification systems are. That’s where the Sendal Breathe service comes in. Breathe monitors outdoor air quality in real time and uses this data to proactively and autonomously make the right decisions for your home. Whether it’s adjusting your ventilation settings, delaying air exchanges, or enhancing filtration, Breathe takes the guesswork out of maintaining a healthy indoor environment.
