Air Quality
Outdoor air quality next to your building controls: threshold crossings propose filtration mode.

About
This Commons feed reads station-level air-quality measurements near your sites: PM2.5, ozone, and the composite AQI, from the OpenAQ aggregation of government monitors including EPA AirNow. A wildfire-smoke day shows up as a measured threshold crossing at the monitor nearest your building, not as a vibe.
The upstream is free with a free API key. Paired with a building connector, the classic play runs end to end: AQI crosses your threshold, the operator proposes filtration mode on the HVAC and an advisory to staff, and both actions carry receipts.
Highlights
- Free feed; free API key
- Readings cite the physical monitor they came from
- AQI threshold -> HVAC filtration proposal, with receipts

Authentication
A free OpenAQ API key, stored in your tenant's secret store.
What it reads
- PM2.5, ozone, and AQI readings from monitors near each site
- Threshold crossings against the limits you set per site
- Station metadata so every reading cites its physical monitor
What it can do
This is a sensing source: it reads, it does not write. Operators act through the write-capable connectors alongside it.
How it works
1
Sense
PM2.5, ozone, and AQI readings from monitors near each site.
2
Reason
Operators reason over this connector's signals next to the rest of your stack, so decisions are grounded in the same records you run on.
3
Act
Nothing. This is a sensing source; operators act through the write-capable connectors alongside it.
Pricing
Free, part of the Commons
Commons signal feeds are free with every Fibric plan. The upstream data is public; Fibric adds the governance: provenance on every event, deduplication, and receipts when an operator acts on it. You pay for operators, never for signals.

Support and resources
Supported by the people who built it
This signal feed is developed, run, and supported by the same Fibric team. Support starts during onboarding with a named deployment engineer and doesn't hand you off afterward.

Bring Air Quality into your early-access deployment
Early access means a deployment engineer wires this with you, and it runs propose-only until you approve live actions.
