EQUIPMENT INSTALL TEMPLATES

Project goals

Templated approach allows any tech with any level of experience to deliver high-end solutions to their customers. The Install Templates are designed to streamline the provisioning and setup of HAVEN devices and HVAC equipment to target specific persistent air quality issues in various climates.

HAVEN IAQ APP

Duration

  • 2022-2024 (interspersed among other feature work)

Tools

  • Figma, Jira, Confluence

My role

  • UX/UI Design
  • Project lead

Approach

I lead all 3 design projects from definition to handoff, collaborating with internal stakeholders, PM, end users (HVAC professionals and Home owners). The work was spread over 2022-2024 to fit into the timeline that accomodated the introduction of other crucial features and usability improvements. Templates are tailor-made to address specific persistent issues in the home:

    Demand Control Ventilation #1

    Install purpose
  • Improve Humidity, Filtration, Ventilation.
  • Considering the outdoor air quality data (open the damper only if the outdoor conditions are acceptable)
  • In climate zone A (Tropical, warm all year round, humid, high precipitation, average temperature by warm temperatures above 18°C or 64°F)
  • Equipment used
  • HAVEN Monitor (detect air pollutants, humidity, temparature)
  • HAVEN Controller (activate connected HVAC equipment automatically)
  • Ventilating dehumidifier (compressor - to reduce humidity)
  • Outdoor damper (to let in fresh air, but only if clean enough)

TAKEAWAYS


Thinking ahead

When starting the wokr on the first template we knew, that more will be added in the future. That meant creating an overaching concept that would accomodate future additions in design and logic, without the need to retroactively update previous templates.

Team work

The science team had key insights that needed to be translated into human-friendly visuals and language. This required a deep understanding of scientific knowledge and concepts by the design team.

User testing and feedback

These features are heavily tailored to very specific industry standards and practices, which are used by the top tier professionals in the field of IAQ (indoor air quality) and HVAC. Naturally, getting continuous feedback and field testing results from these professionals was key to succes.
