For commercial interiors (standard v2.0), its performance targets are **PM2.5 below 35 µg/m³ (acceptable) or below 12 µg/m³ (high performance), TVOC below 500 µg/m³ or 400 µg/m³, and CO₂ below 1,000 ppm or 600 ppm**. Temperature and humidity have no targets but must be monitored, because they affect the PM2.5 and TVOC sensor readings.

Monitoring ## How Monitoring Demonstrates Compliance RESET Air is monitoring by definition: accredited monitors installed in occupied space report continuously, and the results against the targets are the certification. What matters is the monitor grade, its placement, and the completeness of the data.

[All articles](https://aethair.io/resources/) Questions ## RESET Air FAQ What are the RESET Air targets for commercial interiors? PM2.5 below 35 µg/m³ (acceptable) or 12 µg/m³ (high performance), TVOC below 500 or 400 µg/m³, and CO₂ below 1,000 or 600 ppm. Which monitors can be used for RESET Air? Monitors accredited by RESET at Grade A or Grade B; Grade C monitors are not acceptable. Does RESET Air set temperature and humidity targets? No. Both must be monitored because they affect the PM2.5 and TVOC readings, but they have no targets.
