I've been selected as a finalist for the In The Air Design Challenge. Firstly, I must provide this disclaimer:
I am the Senior Electrical Engineer for Hal Technology. I design hand-held and portable gas meters and particle counters. My idea for this project is definitely not a novel concept, but with the improvement in technology it is more viable. Essentially, as is stated in the project descriptions, I will create a Particulate Matter meter to be embedded in Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning units. The result will be a smart home based sensor that can be used on a WiFi network to monitor a household's air quality.
Good luck to all the competitors.
