Air Quality
One of the biggest risks facing landlords, housing providers and property managers is poor indoor air quality.
Problems such as inadequate ventilation, high humidity and heightened Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) are often invisible to occupants but can contribute to damp, mould and poor living conditions.
ResiSure's wireless indoor air quality monitoring technology provides continuous environmental data, giving you the visibility needed to identify deteriorating conditions before they become costly disrepair issues. With live dashboards, automated reporting and proactive alerts, you can improve tenant wellbeing while protecting your housing portfolio.
Air Quality Sensor Technology for Social Housing
Unlike a standard air quality sensor or handheld inspection tool, ResiSure continuously helps landlords monitor indoor air quality and the environmental conditions that influence it.
Every wireless sensor records data every 30 minutes before securely transmitting it to the Resi-IQ platform, allowing landlords, housing associations and property managers to remotely monitor conditions across an entire portfolio.
Each device helps monitor: Indoor Air Quality Index, Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), temperature, relative humidity, mould risk, Heat loss indicators, dew point, ventilation performance.
Unlike manual spot checks, continuous monitoring provides a complete picture of how a property's internal environment changes over time.

Monitor Indoor Air Quality with ResiSure
Whether you're managing social housing, private rentals or large residential portfolios, maintaining good indoor air quality has never been more important.
ResiSure continuously monitors indoor environmental conditions every 30 minutes, helping identify deteriorating air quality, excess humidity and changing ventilation patterns before they contribute to mould, condensation or property disrepair.
Live dashboards and automated reports provide complete visibility across every property, helping housing providers make proactive maintenance decisions backed by real environmental data.
70%
70% of tenants would be willing to pay more for a rental property with good indoor air quality.
32%
32% of tenants stated that their accommodation did not have a carbon monoxide alarm despite requiring one.
3.2 million
Household air pollution was responsible for approximately 3.2 million deaths per year in 2020
What is an Air Quality Index?
Rather than relying on isolated VOC readings, ResiSure analyses multiple environmental factors to produce an Indoor Air Quality Index.
By monitoring changes in air quality over time, property managers can identify developing ventilation problems and investigate properties before conditions deteriorate into damp, mould or tenant complaints.
Continuous monitoring provides far greater insight than occasional inspections, helping build an evidence-based understanding of how each property performs.
What Are VOC's?
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) are a group of organic chemicals that easily evaporate at room temperature. These compounds are found in many products, including paints, solvents, and cleaning agents. VOCs can have significant environmental and health impacts.
When released into the air, they contribute to the formation of ground-level ozone and smog, leading to air pollution and respiratory issues. Prolonged exposure to high levels of VOCs can also cause serious health effects, including liver and kidney damage and increased cancer risk.
Rules & Regulations
Indoor Air Quality, Awaab's Law & Housing Compliance
Currently, there is no specific UK legislation directly addressing VOCs in homes. However, several guidelines and legislative measures relate to VOCs in rental properties, including:
Sources of Poor Indoor Air Quality
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) are emitted by a wide range of products and materials commonly found in rental homes. One of the primary sources is household products such as paints, varnishes, and cleaning agents, which often contain solvents that release VOCs into the air during and after use. Additionally, building materials like composite wood products, carpets, and adhesives can off-gas VOCs, especially when they are new.
Personal care products, including perfumes, hairsprays, and aerosol sprays, also contribute to indoor VOC levels. Even activities like cooking, burning candles, or smoking can release VOCs. Because these compounds evaporate at room temperature, they can accumulate in indoor environments, especially in well-sealed or poorly ventilated spaces, potentially leading to health issues.
The Dangers of VOCs
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) and carbon monoxide (CO) can pose significant health risks when present in high concentrations within the home.
Prolonged exposure to VOCs can lead to a range of health issues. Short-term effects may include headaches, dizziness, eye, nose, and throat irritation, and even nausea. Long-term exposure to certain VOCs, especially at high levels, has been linked to more serious health problems such as liver and kidney damage, central nervous system disorders, and an increased risk of cancer. Children, the elderly, and individuals with pre-existing health conditions are particularly vulnerable to the effects of VOCs.
The Dangers Of Carbon Monoxide
Carbon monoxide is extremely dangerous because it can prevent the body from getting enough oxygen. Low levels of carbon monoxide exposure can cause symptoms like headaches, dizziness, weakness, confusion, and flu-like symptoms, but prolonged or high-level exposure can lead to unconsciousness, permanent brain damage, or even death. Since carbon monoxide is undetectable by human senses, it is essential to have working carbon monoxide detectors across your property portfolio, especially where combustion appliances are used.
While VOCs and carbon monoxide are primarily health hazards, they do not directly damage the structural integrity of your home. However, the sources of these compounds, such as excessive moisture that leads to mould (a biological VOC) or faulty appliances that produce carbon monoxide, can contribute to conditions that might damage your rental units over time. For instance, mould growth due to poor ventilation or water damage can weaken walls, ceilings, and other structural elements.
