uHoo produces a device which monitors and analyses indoor air quality factors in real time. The device is the size of a coffee mug, and works with uHoo&#8217;s mobile app and web dashboard to help users take control of the air they breathe indoors.
The idea for uHoo came about when co-founders Dustin Jefferson S. Onghanseng and Brian Lin encountered respiratory problems after spending long hours in their dormitories in Hong Kong.
“I have rhinitis, while Brian has asthma. When we were studying in Hong Kong, our allergies would often surface in the dormitories and the school building. We discovered it was due to the air we were breathing in indoors,” said Dustin Onghanseng, co-founder and CEO of uHoo.
According to the US EPA, indoor air is two to five times worse than outdoor air, yet people spend up to 90 per cent of their time indoors.
Paul Santos, Managing Partner at Wavemaker said, “There is a management principle around what doesn’t get measured, doesn’t get done. Air quality is crucial to our health, well-being, and productivity but it is often overlooked. uHoo is attempting to provide the best air quality management solution, and it’s amazing how, by simply providing better data, property managers can improve air quality in buildings resulting in 95% decrease in environment related complaints and 50% increase in productivity.”
UHoo is currently in more than 10 countries, and has clients such as Ascendas, Schiphol airport, Linde, Ricola, Gammon and the government of the Netherlands. uHoo also partners facilities and building managers such as JLL to develop smarter building management. uHoo also recently deployed their services at District6 inOdeon Towers in Singapore.
