How to Use This Calculator
  1. Enter CO₂ level (ppm), PM2.5 (µg/m³), and Total VOCs (µg/m³).
  2. Set Relative humidity (%) and Temperature (°C).
  3. Review the Overall IAQ score (0–100) result.
  4. Use CO₂ sub-score and PM2.5 sub-score to inform your decision.

How the result changes with CO₂ level (ppm)

4,54063.3

What each input means

CO₂ level (ppm)
Carbon dioxide concentration in parts per million. Outdoor ambient is ~420 ppm.
PM2.5 (µg/m³)
Fine particulate matter concentration. EPA annual standard is 12 µg/m³.
Total VOCs (µg/m³)
Total volatile organic compounds. Target below 500 µg/m³.
Relative humidity (%)
ASHRAE recommends 30–60% relative humidity.
Temperature (°C)
Indoor temperature. ASHRAE 55 comfort range is 20–26°C.

What each result means

Overall IAQ score (0–100)
Weighted composite score. 80+ = Excellent, 60–79 = Good, 40–59 = Fair, <40 = Poor.
CO₂ sub-score
Score based on CO2 vs ASHRAE 62.1 target of <1000 ppm.
PM2.5 sub-score
Score based on EPA NAAQS annual PM2.5 standard.
TVOC sub-score
Score based on VOC concentration guidelines.
Humidity sub-score
Score based on ASHRAE 30–60% RH range.
Temperature sub-score
Score based on ASHRAE 55 thermal comfort.
Rating (1=Poor, 4=Excellent)
1 = Poor, 2 = Fair, 3 = Good, 4 = Excellent.

How this is calculated

Worked example, using the default values

  1. Identify Input Parameters
    4 parameters
    CO₂ level (ppm) = 800, PM2.5 (µg/m³) = 10, Total VOCs (µg/m³) = 300, Relative humidity (%) = 45 = 5 input(s) provided
  2. Calculate Overall IAQ score
    Overall IAQ score = co2Score * weights.co2 +
    89 = 89
  3. Calculate CO₂ sub-score
    CO₂ sub-score = co2Ppm <= 600 ? 100
    85.7 = 85.7
  4. Calculate PM2.5 sub-score
    PM2.5 sub-score = pm25 <= 0 ? 100
    80 = 80
