Abstract :
Indoor air pollution is known to be one of the contributing factors that worsen the symptoms of asthma. Asthma patients often react to a range of pollutants in the inhaled air that irritate the airways of the respiratory system. By providing a low-cost solution for home air quality regulation, asthma patients can minimize the health risks linked to poor air quality. This paper introduces the use of smart home technology to regulate indoor air quality through control of air-conditioning and heating system. The proposed smart home management algorithm allows dynamic control of indoor ventilation system.
