MUMBAI, India, Feb. 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202611002063 A) filed by Chandigarh University, Mohali, Punjab, on Jan. 8, for 'an iot-based smart ventilation control system for real-time classroom indoor air quality management.'

Inventor(s) include Sakshi Kumari; Nikhil Kumar Sharma; and Shivani Sharma.

The application for the patent was published on Feb. 13, under issue no. 07/2026.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to an IoT-based smart ventilation control system developed to maintain healthy indoor air quality in classrooms and similar enclosed environments through real-time monitoring and automated regulation. The system integrates environmental sensors for measuring carbon dioxide concentration, temperature, humidity, particulate matter, and occupancy levels. Sensor data is processed by an edge controller and securely transmitted to a cloud-based platform where intelligent decision algorithms analyze real-time and historical data. Based on the analysis, ventilation actuators such as fans, dampers, or air purifiers are dynamically controlled to ensure optimal air quality while minimizing energy consumption. The invention further incorporates predictive occupancy modeling to enable proactive ventilation before air quality deterioration occurs. A user-accessible dashboard provides real-time visualization, alerts, historical analytics, and manual override functionality. The system is modular, scalable, and compatible with existing building management infrastructure, thereby improving occupant health, enhancing learning performance, and promoting energy-efficient indoor environment management."
