Abstract

Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) is an urgent topic nowadays. It is concluded that 90% of human's life is spent indoor. However, it is commonly known that materials used in construction or furniture is often detected to release Volatile organic compounds (VOC) which affect IAQ significantly and lead to dizziness, respiratory irritation, fatigue, asthma and allergic airway disease and even cancer. As a result, IAQ monitoring system assists of improving IAQ, and wireless sensor network is an efficient method for building up the system network. In this paper, a new ZigBee network for IAQ monitoring system is designed. A Multi-criteria decision-making method VIKOR is used to figure out the best parameters of the MAC layer and CSMA/CA mechanism under this environment. The network designed can achieve 35% improvement of energy saving without affecting the latency and throughput performance compared with the commonly-used TOPSIS method.
