Empowering safer, healthier learning through air intelligence

In schools and learning environments, the quality of indoor air sets the foundation for wellness, focus and achievement. Poor air—high CO₂, particles or VOCs—undermines performance, attendance and long-term wellness. EmAIRging equips educators and facility teams with precise air-quality insights, turning monitoring into action for a smarter, healthier educational space.

Why indoor air quality matters in schools

WHO

Students and teachers often spend 6–8 hours a day indoors, so the quality of classroom air is a core determinant of health, comfort and learning outcomes

American Lung Association

Indoor pollution levels can be 2 to 5 times higher than outdoor levels due to limited ventilation, materials off-gassing, cleaning products, and occupant density.

American Lung Association

Poor air quality in schools is linked to headaches, fatigue, reduced attention, allergies, asthma exacerbations, and increased absenteeism

Harvard

Even modest reductions in CO₂ concentrations correlate with measurable improvements in cognition and decision-making

NSBA

By contrast, improved air quality has been associated with higher test scores, lower absenteeism supporting cognitive performance in educational settings

The EmAIRging difference

Measure what matters – reliably

Our ENSENSIA (and ENSENSIA mini) multi-sensing systems continuously monitor CO2, PM2.5, VOCs, NO2/O3, temperature and humidity—indoors and out. Devices are compact, PoE-ready, quick to install and built for long service life (e.g., NDIR CO₂ >15 years)

Accuracy you can trust

Low-cost sensors drift. Ours fight back with AI-powered calibration that enhances precision and inter-unit consistency, validated by FORTH/ICE-HT and the LAQS research group. When you need reference-grade answers, our Portable Lab deploys research-grade instruments for audits, validation and campaigns

Act with Confidence

All data flows into our cloud platform for live dashboards, alerts, reports, analytics and Application Programming Interface (API) integration. We translate readings into clear recommendations your teams can act on – ventilation tuning, filtration, space scheduling and maintenance

Proactive Air Intelligence

With SmartAQ+, we fuse physics-based forecasting and machine learning to map neighborhood-scale PM2.5 nowcasts and 72-hour forecasts. Know when outdoor air will challenge your building, pre-condition HVAC, and protect occupants and operations

Our process in action

What benefits your school sees

Improved health & attendance

Better air means fewer respiratory symptoms, fewer asthma triggers and fewer health-related absences for both students and staff.

Better focus, cognition and academic outcomes

Well-ventilated classrooms have been linked to higher performance in reading, math and tests

Enhanced operational efficiency and cost-control

Lower maintenance, fewer facility issues and optimized HVAC/ventilation reduce long-term costs

Stronger staff retention, satisfaction and institutional reputation

healthier learning environments support teacher well-being and boost community trust.

Evidence & science backing

Harvard Healthy Buildings

Demonstrated that even modest CO₂ reductions improve cognitive test performance

EPA / High-Performance Schools

Healthy HVAC and pollutant control reduce operating costs, absenteeism, and liability risks

Ventilation in Schools & COVID studies

Increasing ventilation reduces SARS‑CoV‑2 airborne transmission in schools: a retrospective cohort study in Italy’s Marche region (Eichholtz P. et al., 2024) – Found that classrooms with higher ventilation rates had significantly lower SARS-CoV-2 transmission

Energy models of HEPA filtration

Coupled indoor air quality and dynamic thermal modelling of HEPA filter units in classrooms (Burridge H.C. et al., 2024) – Demonstrated that integrating HEPA filters in classrooms can reduce PM₂.₅ substantially while adding very little to heating energy cost
