What is RESET Air?
RESET Air is a data-driven building standard for indoor air quality, run by GIGA. Instead of a one-time test, it certifies spaces on continuous readings from accredited monitors, delivered through accredited data providers, for parameters such as PM2.5, total VOCs, CO2, temperature and humidity.
What it is
RESET Air shifts air quality certification from design intent to measured performance. Projects install monitors that meet RESET grade requirements, place them according to the standard, and stream data to the RESET cloud through an accredited data provider.
Certification is based on performance over time against targets, and it must be maintained with ongoing data. Separate standards cover core and shell buildings and commercial interiors. RESET is aligned with WELL, so data can support both.
Who it applies to / where it is used
RESET Air is used by office owners and tenants, workplace teams, schools, hospitality and retail spaces that want a live, published measure of indoor air quality.
How it is measured / what evidence it needs
The standard depends on monitor quality, placement and an unbroken data stream.
- Accredited monitors at the required grade
- Monitor placement and density following the standard
- Continuous data for each required parameter
- Data delivered through an accredited data provider
- Calibration and maintenance records
How Aqueduct helps
Aqueduct supplies continuous, zone-level air data and works alongside accredited monitors. Accreditation as a RESET data provider is on the roadmap, so check current status before relying on Aqueduct for that role.
