RESET
A joint pathway toward safer-air standards
Joint program; standards, methods, and pilot development
PHAN's RESET work is a joint program with Safer Air Project and RESET Standard. It connects technical methods with the question behind them: how can people and organizations understand and improve the air in shared spaces?
A shared standards pathway
The work connects development of the Safer Air Accessibility Index (RSAAI) with methods review, pilot planning, and public interpretation. The goal is to make safer-air information more understandable and useful, with a pathway to inform wider standards and accessibility practice.
Where the work overlaps
Some PHAN projects have useful points of overlap with this collaboration, while retaining their own goals and scope. These opportunities are not a requirement that every project connect to RESET. Measurements, models, standards indicators, and public summaries remain distinct.
- AIRWISE: explore room-level conditions and compare calculations through transparent reference scenarios.
- AIRAWARE: organize observations, evidence, versions, and reporting history.
- SAFER: make relevant place-level information easier for people to find and understand.
- SUPPLY: support equipment access, community delivery, and future pilot relationships.
Evidence, accessibility, and accountability
Methods need documented assumptions, appropriate review, and an explanation of uncertainty. Public reporting also needs clear information about where data came from, when it was collected, and what a result does and does not mean. These are development priorities, not claims that every integration or pilot is already complete.
Learn about RESET's existing index work
RESET Standard publishes background on its Viral Index, an air-quality-based indicator. That existing index is context for the work, not a claim that PHAN owns RESET or that the newer joint RSAAI work has already been validated or deployed.
What to know
RESET Standard and its marks belong to their respective owners. Participation in this joint work does not itself certify a building, validate an infection-risk prediction, or guarantee a pathogen-free space.
