Setting Environment Limits

Tom Grounds - Personal edited this page Jun 19, 2026 · 2 revisions

Environment limits define the acceptable conditions for a room and its assets.


Categories of Limits

Climate

  • Temperature (°F)
  • Humidity (%)
  • Dew Point (°F)

Light

  • Lux (lx)
  • UV

Air Quality

  • VOC (ppb)
  • Formaldehyde (ppb)
  • Ozone (ppb)
  • NO2 (ppb)

Particulates

  • PM2.5 (µg/m³)
  • PM10 (µg/m³)

Biological

  • Mold index

Safety

  • Leak detection

Structural

  • Pressure (hPa)
  • Vibration (mm/s)

Context

  • Noise (dB)

Control Context

  • CO2 (ppm)

How Limits Work

Each measurement has:

  • Minimum value
  • Maximum value
  • Real-time sensor reading

The system compares:

Current Value → Against → Defined Range


Debounce Settings

  • Red transition seconds
  • Recovery seconds

These prevent rapid status changes from short spikes.


Why This Matters

Environment limits drive:

  • Risk evaluation
  • Advisory messages
  • Alerting logic

Best Practices

  • Set realistic ranges
  • Avoid overly tight thresholds
  • Use debounce settings to reduce false alerts

Well-defined limits turn raw data into meaningful risk signals.
