1. An arrangement, comprising:
- a plurality of wireless microsystems, each microsystem operable to measure a plurality of indoor environmental quality-related parameters and operable to communicate first information pertaining to the measured parameters wirelessly to a network device,a data processor operably coupled to receive the first information from the network device, and further configured to generate a metric value of an indoor environmental quality of at least a first space based at least in part on the first information, the metric value dependent upon each of the measured parameters of at least a first of the plurality of microsystems, anda controller operable to generate control information based on the metric value and communicate the control information to at least one actuator,wherein the metric value of the indoor air quality is based in part on information representative of at least one HVAC-related measurement and information representative of at least one of a total volatile organic compound measurement, a CO2 measurement, a CO measurement, a light measurement and a sound measurement.

Abstract
An arrangement includes a plurality of wireless microsystems and a central data processor. Each microsystem is operable to measure a plurality of indoor environmental quality-related parameters and is operable to communicate first information pertaining to the measured parameters wirelessly to a network device. The central data processor is operably coupled to receive the first information from the network device, and further configured to generate a metric value of an indoor environmental quality of at least a first space based at least in part on the first information, the metric value dependent upon each of the measured parameters of at least a first of the plurality of microsystems.
