Atmos IQ™ · Room-intelligence layer

Invisible intelligence for smart bio-surfaces.

Invisible intelligence. Defensible numbers. No surveillance.

Atmos IQ turns bounded room-condition signals from Hempire smart walls into local, explainable awareness — without voice recording by default, face recognition, individual tracking, robot control, PLC replacement, or life-safety claims.

What Atmos IQ is — and is not.

Atmos IQ is

  • A pure, local-first reasoning layer
  • Room-condition awareness from bounded signals
  • Explainable summaries — every reading has a reason
  • Calibration-aware, fail-closed event logic
  • The evidence source behind Material OS
  • A deployment-ready add-on to the Hempire smart wall

Atmos IQ is not

  • A voice recorder or transcription service
  • A face-recognition system
  • A student- or employee-monitoring system
  • A robot controller or PLC replacement
  • A security or life-safety system
  • A medical, wellness, or diagnostic system

The reasoning core

Pure, local, and auditable.

All room intelligence is a set of pure functions with no I/O, no network, and no audio capture — so every claim traces to a function and a test, basic readings never need the cloud, and a lab result agrees with a customer's wall.

  1. 01

    Sense

    Bounded sensor inputs from the wall cartridge — validated, never guessed.

  2. 02

    Normalize

    Local normalization and calibration context. No cloud required.

  3. 03

    Bound

    Rule- and standard-bounded reasoning against published bands.

  4. 04

    Explain

    A specific, honest reason and its confidence or limitation.

  5. 05

    Record

    An event summary written to the Material OS passport.

Identity — Trace™

Proves what the material is: line, batch, source, binder, finish, test reports, carbon basis, replacement part, end-of-life.

Deliberately does not · Expose people, owners, addresses, or service history to an anonymous tap.

Awareness — Comfort / Moisture / Echo

Reads the room: temperature, humidity, CO₂, PM2.5, VOC trend, wall dampness, sound level.

Deliberately does not · Make health claims, name mould, record audio, or run always-listening.

Response — GlowLine / Bridge

Recommends: lighting scenes, ventilation prompts, and read-mostly export to HVAC / BMS.

Deliberately does not · Take irreversible physical action without a human in the loop — the core returns advice, never commands.

Human-control rule.Atmos IQ observes, explains, and recommends. Rules and thresholds decide status; a person approves any physical action a room's occupants would notice. The core has no actuation path — it returns advice, never commands.

Four bounded modules

Every number, and where it comes from.

Each module reads bounded signals and speaks in conditions and actions tied to a published standard. Open one for its inputs, what a reading may say, the standards behind it, and its honest boundary.

MoistureGuard™

Reference-implementedPhase 3 · 90–120 days

Condensation and sustained-dampness awareness at the wall surface — the moisture question, answered defensibly by refusing to answer it directly.

Inputs

  • Coldest tracked surface temperature
  • Room dew point
  • Surface-adjacent relative humidity (not the thermostat's room RH)
  • Duration over threshold (a time dose)

What a reading may say

  • Condensation-risk context from the margin to dew point
  • Sustained-dampness dose above ~80% surface RH — accrues over time, decays at half speed as the wall dries
  • “Humidity behind the panel has stayed high long enough to put the material at risk. Ventilate, inspect, or service the wall.”
  • A recorded, sample-labelled condition event
EN ISO 13788ASHRAE 160
~80% SURFACE RHDEW POINT

BoundaryMoistureGuard provides non-safety moisture-condition awareness. It does not detect or name mould, diagnose health risk, or guarantee prevention of material damage — a shower spike does not trip it, a slow leak does.

ComfortNode™

Reference-implementedPhase 2 · 60–90 days

A calm room-condition status you can interrogate. Each metric is scored independently against a published band; the room's overall status is simply the worst contributing metric plus its plain-language reason.

Inputs

  • CO₂
  • PM2.5
  • Relative humidity
  • VOC trend
  • Temperature

What a reading may say

  • Per-metric good / watch / needs-air status
  • An overall room-condition summary with a plain-language reason
  • Ventilation-review context and IAQ documentation support
  • A deployment-report metric, sample-labelled

Published bands

CO₂≤800 good · ≤1400 watch · else needs-air (ppm)
Ventilation-adequacy proxy vs ~420 ppm outdoor air — not a toxicity measure.
PM2.5≤9.0 good · ≤35.4 watch · else needs-air (µg/m³)

Humidity30–60% good · to 20/70 watch · beyond needs-air

ASHRAE 55 comfort zone; never forces an alarm.

CO₂PM2.5RHVOCTempGOOD · WATCH · NEEDS-AIR

BoundaryComfortNode summarizes room-condition trends. It is not a medical, wellness, or regulatory air-quality certification system, and it never drives a health message.

EchoMap™

Reference-implementedPhase 3 · 90–120 days

Honest acoustic proof from sound-level metadata. The equivalent continuous level (Leq) is the energy average of the samples — the only correct way to average decibels.

Inputs

  • Sound-level samples (energy-averaged)
  • Event energy
  • Peak event (Lmax)
  • Quiet baseline (L90)
  • Time-window summary

What a reading may say

  • Energy-correct Leq loudness trend
  • L10 intrusive peaks, L90 residual background, Lmax
  • A before/after loudness change — e.g. 79 → 70 dBA is a real 9.0 dBA reduction
  • An environmental sound-event summary, no audio retained
Energy-averaged LeqL10 / L90 / Lmax descriptors
LeqL10L90LmaxNO RAW AUDIO RETAINED

BoundaryEchoMap is designed for sound-event metadata, not voice surveillance. Raw audio is never recorded or retained; transcription, speaker identification, and reverberation-time (RT60) or speech-clutter figures are outside the module — a passive node cannot measure them.

Trace™

Deployment-supportedPhase 1 · 30 days

The trust boundary. Trace records what the system knows, what it does not know, and which view a person is allowed to see — fail-closed, so any unclassified field is admin-only and adding data can never silently over-expose it.

Inputs

  • Wall + panel identity
  • Sensor configuration
  • Calibration record
  • Event summary
  • Sample status & limitations
  • Requesting role

What a reading may say

  • A public, account-free material passport: line, batch, hemp source, binder, finish, test reports, cleaning guide, replacement part, end-of-life
  • A carbon figure shown only together with the method that produced it
  • Role-based redaction: Anonymous → Architect → Owner → Facility → Admin, each a superset
  • Calibration status, sample flag, and a limitation summary
Fail-closed RBACILFI DeclareHPD CollaborativeNIST IR 8425
PRIVATEFAIL-CLOSEDANYONE CAN TAP

BoundaryTrace never exposes a person, owner, address, date, or service record to an anonymous tap. It makes no tamper-proof, regulatory-compliance, or records-integrity certification claim unless separately implemented and certified.

What it produces

What a room read looks like.

The modules above describe how Atmos IQ reasons. This is what it hands back: a calm room-condition summary where every metric is scored against a published band, and the overall status is simply the worst contributing metric plus a plain-language reason — never an alarm, never a health message.

The reason

Overall status is the worst contributing metric — here, CO₂. A ventilation-review prompt, not an alarm.

Ventilation-adequacy proxy vs ~420 ppm outdoor air — not a toxicity measure.

30-day comfort trend

Local · no cloud

A room-condition summary — not a medical, wellness, or regulatory air-quality certification, and it never drives a health message. Every event is recorded to the Material OS passport.

  • No camera, no voice recording, no always-listening, no raw audio stored
  • No cloud dependency for basic readings
  • Unique device identity, encrypted transport, signed firmware, secure boot
  • No default passwords, role-based access, data-retention controls, factory reset
  • Audit log, SBOM, coordinated disclosure, and an OTA policy — mapped to NIST IR 8425
  • Fail-closed everywhere: bad or out-of-range values are rejected, not guessed

The proof trail

Every Atmos IQ event has a record.

Atmos IQ reasons; Material OS remembers. Each module event carries its summary, confidence or limitation, and calibration context into the material passport — the evidence a deployment report is built from.
