Abstract:
A system for controlling air quality of a building space includes an air quality sensor configured to sense the air quality of the building space, an exhaust fan configured to exhaust air from inside the building space to outside the building space, a switch device configured to control the exhaust fan to exhaust the air from inside the building space to outside the building space, and a controller comprising a processing circuit. The processing circuit is configured to determine an air quality level of the building space based on the air quality sensor, determine whether the air quality level is less than an air quality threshold, and cause the switch device to operate the exhaust fan to exhaust air from inside the building space to outside the building space in response to a determination that the air quality level is less than the air quality threshold.
