VizAeras Paves the Way for Safer, Healthier, and More Productive Indoor Spaces

The global health crisis has affected individuals and communities in many ways. Businesses have succumbed to closure, the economy was at a standstill, and people were required to stay indoors. Because of these dramatic shifts, new problems have arisen, such as indoor air quality and exposure to increased pollution levels. In cognizance of this, VizAeras steps in to address one of today’s most pressing issues.

VizAeras is a trailblazing company widely recognized for pulling out all the stops to address problems and deliver results. Its track record has earned countless praises from various established authorities and peers, cementing a stellar reputation across the trade. On a mission to promote better indoor air quality and indoor environmental quality (IEQ) conditions, VizAeras delivers its promise to attain safer, healthier, and more productive indoor spaces across the world.

Since its inception, VizAeras has always been passionate about providing solutions and making a difference across the globe. “About one-fourth of the adult population wear fitness trackers to monitor their health, calorie, and nutrition intake, the quantity and quality of sleep, and more. If we are so concerned with our health, then why don’t we also monitor the quality of the air we breathe?” VizAeras co-founder and CEO Carl Tautenhahn asked. For this reason, the brilliant team behind a promising enterprise sets out to provide a solution that is both cutting edge and future-proof.

Pushing the boundaries of health and wellness, VizAeras has created a state-of-the-art technology platform that not only monitors indoor air quality but also helps in improving indoor conditions long term. “Nowadays, most people spend 90% of their time indoors. Indoor pollution has now become far worse than the outdoors, causing or aggravating about 50% of illnesses worldwide,” shared Carl Tautenhahn. “As people take about 20,000 breaths per day, we have made it our mission to lessen their exposure to harmful chemicals and pollutants to live a better and healthier life,” he added. Using a patent-pending platform technology, VizAeras allows people to visualize and monitor building conditions, equipping them with the necessary tools to become proactive in improving their health and lifestyle.

Carl Tautenhahn shared, “Indôr’s unique approach to monitoring IEQ provides households and businesses the ability to not only monitor, track, and share access to building conditions with occupants but also respond to any potentially harmful chemicals and pollutants in real-time to keep loved ones, employees, students, and customers safe, productive, and healthy.”

Seamlessly emerging at the summits of the industry, VizAeras proves worthy of its stellar reputation. As a result of its passion and dedication to making the world a better place, the company was recently the recipient of the Best IoT Indoor Air Quality Monitor award, which was given to them at the annual IMPACT 21 digital marketing conference. VizAeras is currently focused on exceeding expectations through the launch of its campaign on StartEngine, where the company plans to help fund and launch an indoor environment quality product that will bring more transparency, awareness, and access to healthy building conditions in the years to come. While Google mapped “The Great Outdoors”, VizAeras intends to map and track IEQ conditions for “The Great Indoors” where we live, work, learn, heal, pray, and play.
