the air purifier advice please 🙏

hello!!!!! yes, i will info dump some of the things i come across at work everyday, hopefully it helps!

Quick overview on how air purifiers work: ok so purifiers don't "kill" bacteria/particles which is a lot of the marketing you'll see, air purifiers take in air, filter out particles, and push out clean air back into your home so you don't breathe in the dangerous particles: it's all about airflow (created with a strong motor) and filter type

ONLY trust HEPA and activated carbon filters. every other "technology" out there is not sound, there's no definitive research that proves the effectiveness of any other tech on the market. at best it's ineffective, at worst it's dangerous, i wouldn't trust any of it. some common types of technologies to avoid: ozone generators, ionizers, uv light, when a company has their own "patented tech" that isn't HEPA or carbon

HEPA: this targets airborne particles. dust, pet dander, mold spores, pollen, smoke particles

ACTIVATED CARBON: this targets gasses, volatile organic chemicals (VOCs), odors, smoke odors

Try to find a purifier that's going to cover a lot of your home or at least an entire room - they're portable so I suggest moving them around during the day if you can and bringing them into your bedroom at night.

Finding a purifier that covers your home/room: suggested air changes per hour (ACH) is 4.8 - many companies will list 1 ACH for their square foot coverage to make it seem like it can cover a lot, and it's just not true. Companies SHOULD be sharing their clean air delivery rate (CADR) information that is connected to ENERGY STAR and is tested by the regulatory agency so they cannot fudge their numbers, if they don't share this information it's a red flag

Check CADR and square foot coverage at 4.8 ACH for a product HERE

For example: an air purifier that can clean 1,000 sq ft in 60 minutes with 1 ACH, can clean 500 sq ft in 30 minutes with 2 ACH, and 80 sq ft in 12.5 minutes with 4.8 ACH (it's confusing, i know, but it's important to have a purifier(s) strong enough to clean your indoor space)

Air quality sensors built into purifiers are cheap, i don't trust them to accurately portray your indoor air quality readings, also the apps are...awful: the markets been flooded with smart purifiers it's tough to find one that DOESN'T have an app attached to it. there's nothing wrong with a smart purifier, its up to the user, but its that they can up the price with the add-ons that don't help the main goal of your purifier: clean your indoor air and create healthy indoor air quality in your home

Cross ventilation helps, open those windows!!! air out your home!!! but don't open them on high pollen count or bad air quality days or if you're located near high pollution or close to an active wildfire or smoke. you can check US location air quality HERE ALSO, don't run your air purifiers while you have the windows open. they'll try to clean the outside airflow too, rendering it pretty ineffective.

Look for certifications!!! ENERGY STAR, AHAM, CARB, INTERTEK - these are independent safety and performance certifications that companies have to go through a testing process to receive them, it's not just marketing these are regulations and are standard - if a company doesn't share these results or aren't certified MAJOR red flag

Run those purifiers 24/7!!!!! If they're ENERGY STAR certified (they should be, look for the logo!!) it shouldn't affect your energy bill in a significant way

Just because a purifier costs more doesn't mean it performs better!! just focus on the air cleaning ability: the thing a purifier IS MEANT TO DO: and try to forget about the rest

Unfortunately, a good purifier is always going to be a bit of an investment. the mini purifiers out there and the wearable ones just do not do anything, i wish they did, but filters need surface area to be effective, they're too small, and the motor isn't efficient.

Good news is there should be some very good sales coming up in november!!!! stay safe!!

Green Thumb Trinkey springs into existence 🌱💧🌞

With recent work to improve our soil moisture sensing, it could be a nice time to design an 'all-in-one' board for plant and garden hacking. This board has a USB C, so you can plug it right into your computer and read the capacitance of the soil, as well as the ambient light level and temperature + humidity of the onboard AHT20. A QT sensor and 'standard Stemma QT' mounting holes mean you can plug in a VOC, CO2, UV, or PM.2 sensor. The SAMD21E18 can run Arduino or CircuitPython, but we'll also ship it with an example that just spits out CSV data over the serial port for instant interfacing. Coming soon.

Green Building Practices: Incorporating Sustainability in Home Construction

As the world becomes more conscious of environmental issues, incorporating green building practices in home construction has gained significant importance. Sustainable construction not only reduces the negative impact on the environment but also promotes healthier living spaces. In this blog post, we will explore the various ways homeowners and builders can embrace green building practices to create sustainable homes.

Energy Efficiency: Energy-efficient homes minimize energy consumption and reduce carbon footprint. Incorporate energy-efficient appliances, LED lighting, and properly insulated windows and walls. Consider renewable energy sources like solar panels to power your home and reduce reliance on traditional energy grids.

Water Conservation: Implement water-saving techniques by installing low-flow fixtures, dual-flush toilets, and rainwater harvesting systems. Efficient irrigation systems and landscaping choices can also reduce water consumption.

Sustainable Materials: Choose eco-friendly building materials, such as recycled or reclaimed wood, bamboo flooring, and low-VOC (volatile organic compound) paints. Opt for products with recognized certifications like Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) for wood or Cradle to Cradle for sustainable manufacturing practices.

Waste Management: Develop a comprehensive waste management plan to reduce construction waste. Recycle and reuse materials whenever possible, and dispose of waste responsibly. Collaborate with local recycling facilities and donate usable materials to minimize environmental impact.

Passive Design: Implement passive design strategies to maximize natural lighting, ventilation, and thermal comfort. Orienting the house to take advantage of sunlight, incorporating efficient insulation, and using strategic landscaping can significantly reduce energy needs.

Water Efficiency: Install high-efficiency plumbing fixtures, such as low-flow showerheads and faucets, and consider graywater systems for recycling water from sinks and showers for non-potable uses like irrigation.

Indoor Air Quality: Promote a healthy living environment by using low-VOC paints, sealants, and adhesives. Proper ventilation systems with heat recovery can improve air quality and reduce the presence of pollutants.

Green Roofing and Insulation: Consider green roofs, which provide insulation, reduce stormwater runoff, and improve air quality. Optimize insulation to minimize heat loss or gain, reducing the need for excessive heating or cooling.

Smart Home Technology: Integrate smart home systems to optimize energy consumption, such as programmable thermostats, motion sensor lighting, and smart energy monitoring devices.

Incorporating sustainable practices in home construction benefits both homeowners and the environment. By adopting green building practices, we can reduce our carbon footprint, conserve resources, and create healthier and more energy-efficient living spaces. Whether you're building a new home or renovating an existing one, embracing sustainability in construction is a positive step toward a greener future.
