This $269,498 National Science Foundation Project Grant supports the development of an Internet of Things-enabled smart air filter monitoring solution by Pollux Technologies LLC. The company will leverage photosensors and machine learning algorithms to accurately detect filter clogging and determine the optimal replacement point based on indoor air quality requirements. This will help reduce premature filter replacements by 50% annually, saving 600 million filters from the landfill. Under the NSF's Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships program (CFDA 47.084), which aims to advance breakthrough technologies addressing national challenges, Pollux Technologies will develop sensors to collect data from HVAC filters in multiple locations. Cloud-based algorithms and control software will analyze the data to extract a parameter correlating to filter efficiency standards. Comparing this to a threshold derived from efficiency and airflow tests will indicate when filters require replacement, enhancing indoor air quality while minimizing waste. Completion is expected by February 2024.
