IIT Delhi-led research team develops AI tool to design smart HVAC filters, improve indoor air quality

Researchers, led by those at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Delhi, have developed an AI tool that can predict performance of HVAC filters and help design smarter ones, essential for improving indoor air quality.

The Covid-19 pandemic, which necessitated people to stay at home, brought to fore an urgent need to improve indoor air quality, especially through better air filtration in heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems, said the team including researchers from Sweden.
