Health Index/Performance Index
Health Index (green):
Indicates an aggregated health value of the air composed of individual meas-
ured values (e.g. particulates, nitrogen dioxide), which are based on official
limits (German Environment Agency and WHO). The air-Q health index is always
based on the “worst” measured value from all measured variables at a specific
point in time. The more green LEDs are illuminated, the better the air quality.
Performance Index (blue):
Indicates an aggregated performance value of the air based on limits for
individual measured values (e.g. carbon dioxide, VOC). The more blue LEDs are
illuminated, the better the air quality for a better physical and mental perfor-
mance. The calculation of the air-Q performance index uses a cumulative proce-
dure, which includes the performance-reducing effect of all measured values.

Calibration
The air-Q was carefully pre-calibrated. However, the sensitive sensors react
very sensitively to abrupt changes of the environment. Therefore those abrupt
changes e.g. in transit can sometimes lead to the loss of the calibration (base-
line) of some individual sensors.
This might result in some diverging too high or too low values. Hence, the
air-Q needs time after the setup to automatically recalibrate in order to display
correct measured values. The calibration takes from one hour to several days,
depending on the individual sensor and usually takes place in the background.
This process and the calculations behind it can also be carried out using the
calibration functions integrated in the smartphone app (Dashboard > Settings
> Calibration).
