Key Findings
CO levels2 and Suspended Particles: It has been observed that the concentrations of CO2 and particles vary depending on the areas and activities carried out, such as cooking and meals in the dining room.
Ventilation in Common Areas:
Areas such as the dining room and living rooms show variations in CO levels2 that could exceed the recommended limits. Occupancy control and improvements in ventilation are recommended.
Individual Oxygenation:
The oxygenation system of a resident has been followed, identifying moments where oxygenation was deficient for various reasons.
Recommendations
Implementation of a CO level control system2 in the dining room, which already has mechanical ventilation.
Installing a forced ventilation system in living rooms to maintain low CO levels2.
Use of artificial intelligence technologies to monitor and alert about possible oxygenation problems in residents.
Impact
This study serves as a solid foundation for implementing advanced technologies, such as the Internet of Things and artificial intelligence, in order to improve the quality of life in the residence. With these measures, it is expected to comply with current regulations and provide a safer and more comfortable environment for residents and workers.
This field study conducted at the Inglada Vía residence is of vital importance for several key reasons that have a direct impact on the health, well-being and quality of life of residents and staff. Here we explain why:
Health and security
Detailed monitoring of CO levels2 and suspended particles allows you to identify areas of potential risk to the health of residents and employees. An environment with a high concentration of CO2 or suspended particles can be harmful, especially for people with pre-existing respiratory problems.
Resource Optimization
The study provides concrete data that can be used to optimize ventilation and occupancy control in various areas of the facility. This not only improves air quality, but could also result in more efficient use of energy resources, which is economically and ecologically beneficial.
Normative compliance
With the results and recommendations of the study, the residence has the opportunity to adapt and comply with current guidelines and regulations related to indoor air quality and ventilation, thus avoiding possible sanctions or legal problems
Technological innovation
The project has opened the door to the implementation of solutions based on emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence. These technologies have the potential to alert you to oxygenation or air quality issues in real time, significantly improving the efficiency and speed of resident care.
Continuous Improvement
The results of the study offer a solid basis for future research and improvements in the quality of the environment in the residence and other similar establishments. By identifying problems and proposing viable solutions, you lay the foundation for a culture of continuous improvement.
Human Impact
Last but not least, improvements in air quality and oxygenation systems have a direct human impact. Improving these areas can result in a better quality of life, greater comfort, and reduced stress for both residents and staff.
