“Our purpose is deeply rooted in nature. Butterflies are not just beautiful creatures; they are vital indicators of the health of our environment. We want to make air quality tangible and engaging, so people immediately connect with the environment around them. Through Butterfly Air, we aim to bring accurate and accessible air quality information directly to users, helping them make better decisions for healthier spaces.” -Ali Munro, Butterfly Air Co-Founder

Indoor air quality (IAQ) is no longer just a technical concern—it’s becoming a visible, tangible aspect of daily life thanks to the innovative approach of Butterfly Air. Unlike traditional indoor air quality sensors that offer data in numbers and charts, Butterfly Air brings the invisible to life with its signature butterfly wings mounted on the sides of its sensors. These wings dynamically display the current IAQ status in real-time, giving a clear and intuitive signal to everyone in the room.

“Butterfly Air doesn’t just monitor air quality—it communicates it in a way that is impossible to ignore. By making air quality visible and accessible, we’re taking a major step forward in holding organizations accountable for healthier indoor spaces.” - Nicholas White, Managing Partner of Smart Building Collective

But transparency isn’t without its challenges. While many organizations embrace the opportunity to demonstrate their commitment to healthy environments, others may hesitate, fearing scrutiny or backlash if conditions aren’t ideal.

“Transparency can feel like a risk, but it’s a powerful way forward. Butterfly Air turns data into dialogue, fostering awareness and education about air quality in ways that help everyone—from facilities teams to building occupants—take action.” Dr. Elizabeth Nelson, Head of Research and Innovation

A Game-Changer for Educational Institutions

The implications for educational institutions are particularly compelling. Schools and universities can leverage Butterfly Air not only to improve air quality for students and staff but also to educate future generations about its importance. Imagine a classroom where the air quality isn’t just monitored—it’s a daily lesson in environmental science and public health, with the butterfly wings serving as a live demonstration tool.

This real-time transparency empowers students and educators alike, fostering awareness and encouraging collective action toward maintaining healthier learning environments. Parents, too, gain peace of mind knowing their children are spending time in spaces that prioritize their well-being.

Driving a Movement Toward Transparency

Butterfly Air’s approach represents a bold shift in the industry. It challenges organizations to embrace transparency and engage with indoor air quality as an essential aspect of their operations. By making IAQ visible, Butterfly Air is helping society move toward a future where vital signs like air quality are as transparent as the air we breathe—and where accountability becomes the norm.

For organizations ready to lead the charge, Butterfly Air is more than a sensor—it’s a catalyst for change.
