Colorado State University Researchers<\/strong> are exploring ways to keep air clean inside homes, especially when outdoor air quality is affected by smoke. <\/span><\/h1>\n

<\/strong><\/h1>\n

We need your help.<\/strong><\/h1>\n

We are testing new devices that help keep harmful outdoor air, such as wildfire smoke, from entering homes.<\/strong> <\/span><\/h3>\n

These devices monitor the air inside, the air outside, and how the house is operating. Based on that information, they can either make automatic adjustments or give you options for when to bring in clean air to keep people inside safe.<\/p>\n

As part of the study, we are also looking at how portable air cleaners can improve indoor air quality.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=”https:\/\/form.jotform.com\/252384106971055″ button_text=”SIGN UP TO PARTICIPATE” button_alignment=”center” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_button=”on” button_text_size=”22px” button_text_color=”#FFFFFF” button_bg_color=”gcid-primary-color” button_border_radius=”20px” button_font=”|700|||||||” custom_padding=”|55px||55px|false|true” global_colors_info=”{%22gcid-primary-color%22:%91%22button_bg_color%22%93}”][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.26.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_number_counter title=”We are looking for 20 homes under 2,000 square feet with central heating, no smokers, and occasional poor air quality to take part in our study.” number=”20″ percent_sign=”off” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” title_text_color=”#FFFFFF” title_line_height=”1.2em” number_font=”–et_global_heading_font|800|||||||” number_text_color=”#FFFFFF” number_font_size=”60px” number_line_height=”75px” background_color=”gcid-primary-color” background_layout=”dark” custom_margin=”3px||3px||true|false” custom_padding=”50px|10px|50px|10px|true|true” border_radii=”on|30px|30px|30px|30px” global_colors_info=”{%22gcid-primary-color%22:%91%22background_color%22%93}”][\/et_pb_number_counter][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”2_5,3_5″ make_equal=”on” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone” _builder_version=”4.26.1″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#DF9558″ background_image=”https:\/\/humanenvironments.org\/sapphires\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Smoke_Over_Houses156742163_l-scaled.jpg” width=”100%” max_width=”2560px” custom_margin=”||||false” custom_margin_tablet=”||||false” custom_margin_phone=”0px||||false|false” custom_margin_last_edited=”on|phone” custom_padding=”40px|75px|40px|138px|true|false” custom_padding_tablet=”|43px||43px|true|true” custom_padding_phone=”0px||||false|true” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”2_5″ _builder_version=”4.26.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_heading title=”WHAT TO EXPECT AS A participant” _builder_version=”4.26.1″ _module_preset=”default” title_font=”–et_global_heading_font|900||on|||||” title_text_align=”center” title_text_color=”#FFFFFF” title_font_size=”40px” background_color=”RGBA(255,255,255,0)” width=”100%” custom_margin=”160px||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_heading][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”3_5″ _builder_version=”4.26.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_accordion open_toggle_background_color=”#FFFFFF” closed_toggle_background_color=”#FFFFFF” icon_color=”gcid-heading-color” _builder_version=”4.26.1″ _module_preset=”default” width=”87.2%” border_radii=”on|30px|30px|30px|30px” global_colors_info=”{%22gcid-heading-color%22:%91%22icon_color%22%93}”][et_pb_accordion_item title=”16 weeks of Data Collection” open=”on” _builder_version=”4.26.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

Air-cleaning appliances and portable air cleaners will be installed in your home for about 4-5 months. The air-cleaning appliance attaches to your central heating system.<\/p>\n

Instruments to measure air quality and home operation will be inside the home continuously during the experimental period. Each instrument is smaller than a sandwich carton.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Feedback Along the Way” _builder_version=”4.26.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]<\/p>\n

During part of the measurement period, participants will be notified about poor air quality outdoors. They can choose to respond to this notification by operating the technology or air cleaner. At other times, the system itself will decide when to operate the technology. We will have a technician in the community to assist with any problems. This technician will also visit each home to change configurations about every two weeks<\/p>\n
