Real-time Monitoring and Control of Indoor and Outdoor Air Quality and Particulate Matter for Office of Academic Resources Buildings

Abstract

This research aims to develop a real-time weather and particulate matter (PM) monitoring and control system for indoor and outdoor environments of the Office of Academic Resources, Prince of Songkhla University's buildings.  The study evaluates the system's efficiency and user satisfaction. The research employs a research and development approach, gathering problems and requirements for system development.

The research sample consists of three information technology experts for system efficiency evaluation and 30 system users for satisfaction assessment. The research findings indicate that the system's efficiency for air quality and PM measurement is at a very high level (  = 4.73, S.D. = 0.26) and the reporting system for weather and PM is also at a very high level ( = 4.77, S.D. = 0.23). User satisfaction with the system is at a very high level (  = 4.91, S.D. = 0.29).

The research contributes to the Office of Academic Resources building's ability to handle air pollution crises promptly, ensuring a clean and safe learning environment for users of all age groups. The research results can be effectively applied in various sectors, including government, private, and community, to implement innovative solutions based on the research's prototype.
