Ventit
Ventit is a hypothetical open standard and ecosystem for intelligent ventilation control in built environments. It defines a modular data model, communication protocol, and reference implementations to integrate sensors, actuators, and building management systems (BMS) for optimized indoor air quality and energy efficiency.
Etymology: The name Ventit is a portmanteau of vent, referring to ventilation, and -it, suggesting interconnection
Overview: The Ventit specification covers data schemas for air quality (CO2, PM2.5, VOCs), occupancy, and environmental
Architecture: The core consists of Ventit Core, which provides the data model and policy engine, Ventit Agents
Applications: In commercial buildings, Ventit enables dynamic ventilation strategies, improves energy performance, and supports health-based guidelines.
Standards and adoption: Ventit is described in a series of technical white papers and reference implementations
