Bridging the Gap: AirVoice Implemented GO IAQS for Better Indoor Air Reporting In the evolving landscape of building health, the lack of a standardized language for Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) has often left facility managers and occupants in the dark. Recognizing this, GO AQS introduced a unified framework in late 2025 to harmonize IAQ communication. AirVoice has recently demonstrated its leadership in this space by being among the first to fully integrate the GO IAQS methodology into its product offerings, as evidenced by its latest demonstrative report (

Why South Korea’s New Air Quality Standards Miss the Mark on Ultrafine Particles Indoors South Korea recently made headlines by tightening its indoor air quality standards. Under the revised Enforcement Rule of the Indoor Air Quality Control Act, the maximum allowable level of ultrafine dust in public facilities—including libraries, museums, and private academies—was lowered from 50 micrograms per cubic meter (μg/m3) to 40 μg/m3. While the Ministry of Government Legislation frames this as a win for public health, particularly for children and teenagers, a growing body of scientific evidence suggests that this "strengthening" of the law is fundamentally flawed.

Bridging the Gap: AirGradient Implements the GO IAQS Vision For too long, indoor air quality (IAQ) data has lived in silos. Building managers and residents often find themselves staring at a dashboard of disparate numbers PM2.5 levels in μg/m3 and CO2 in ppm, without a clear understanding of how these factors interact to affect human health and cognitive performance. The Global Open Indoor Air Quality Score (GO IAQS) was designed to solve this by creating a "common language" for the air we breathe.

Why the GO IAQS Score Replaced Conventional “Green” The shift from the conventional "Green" to the specific "Blue" hue in the GO IAQS Score represents a significant evolution in how we communicate environmental health. While green has been the conventional way for "Good" for decades, GO AQS has prioritized accessibility and psychological resonance over tradition. Here is why the transition to #658eff is more than just a stylistic choice.

A Synthesis of Expert Views on Submicron and Ultrafine Particles For decades, the global standard for measuring indoor air quality (IAQ) has focused on PM2.5, particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter of 2.5 micrometers or less. However, recent findings from the Particulate Matter Working Group suggest that this mass-based metric may be overlooking the most significant health risks. By synthesizing expert survey data and recent literature, we can now map the critical landscape of submicron and ultrafine particles.

The EU’s New EPBD: Why Indoor Air Quality Needs a Unified Standard The recently updated Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) is a pivotal legislative framework aimed at improving the energy efficiency of buildings across the European Union. While its primary focus remains on energy savings and decarbonization, the revised EPBD now formally recognizes the crucial link between energy performance and Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ). This update requires member states to address IEQ in their national legislation, ensuring that energy-efficient buildings also support the health, comfort, and well-being of their occupants.
