FAQs

Here are questions we commonly hear about Metalmark, assessment, indoor environmental intelligence, and getting started.

Platform layers

How do the platform layers fit together?

Metalmark can start with Assessment, use Pasoh for continuous sensing, interpret signals through cloud intelligence, and support action through intervention layers such as Tatama and Everglades.

When should we start with a platform conversation?

Start with platform fit when the operating question spans multiple priority spaces, sites, or interventions and you need a repeatable way to measure, interpret, prioritize, and verify action.

Metalmark Assessment

What is the Metalmark Assessment?

The Assessment is a structured starting engagement that can combine Pasoh measurements with cloud analytics, a report, findings, recommendations, and planning support.

How long does an Assessment take?

The launch offering includes an approximately 60-day Pasoh deployment, followed by analysis and recommended actions.

What can the Assessment include?

The Assessment can include access to Metalmark cloud analytics, a spatial digital twin, key findings, recommended actions, and an optional smoke-preparedness plan.

Pasoh™

What is Pasoh?

Pasoh is Metalmark's indoor environmental quality sensor. It monitors conditions across priority spaces and feeds Metalmark cloud intelligence.

What does Pasoh measure?

Pasoh monitors temperature, humidity, PM0.5, PM1.0, PM2.5, PM10, CO2, TVOCindex, formaldehyde, carbon monoxide, ozone, NOxindex, and ambient sound level.

Does Pasoh compare rooms or sites?

Pasoh supports visibility across rooms, buildings, time periods, sites, campuses, and multi-site portfolios.

Is Pasoh only for wildfire smoke?

No. Smoke readiness is an important use case, but Pasoh supports broader indoor environmental visibility, planning, and site-to-site comparison.

Tatama®

What is Tatama?

Tatama is Metalmark's targeted air-cleaning intervention layer for priority spaces where measured conditions suggest action is needed.

What is special about Tatama?

Tatama pairs targeted air cleaning with Metalmark's patented self-renewal technology. It is CARB certified; customer deployments indicate up to 10x time and maintenance savings; and Metalmark's novel technology won the EPA Cleaner Indoor Air During Wildfires Challenge. See Tatama for technical details.

How does Pasoh work with Tatama?

For organizations using Tatama, Pasoh data can help compare conditions before and after operation and support ongoing visibility across spaces and sites.

When is Tatama a fit?

Tatama is a fit when a team needs targeted room-level intervention and a practical verification path for what changed after deployment.

Everglades™

What is Everglades?

Everglades is Metalmark's wildfire-smoke filtration layer for HVAC-based readiness and practical clean-air planning.

What is special about Everglades?

Everglades uses Metalmark's proprietary material for wildfire-smoke readiness. Test reports cited on the product page show smoke removal up to 5x better than typical MERV 13 HVAC filters; the filter is CA Title 20 listed, rated MERV 13 / 11A, and designed as a drop-in 24 x 24 x 2 in replacement. See Everglades for technical details.

When is Everglades a fit?

Everglades is most relevant when smoke readiness, HVAC filtration, and evidence-backed filtration planning are central to the operating question.

Metalmark

What does Metalmark do?

Metalmark helps organizations measure and understand indoor environmental conditions, interpret patterns, plan practical actions, and verify what changed.

Where does Metalmark's work come from?

Metalmark is a Harvard spinout. Our original materials technology grew out of Harvard research, and we continue to draw inspiration from nature as we develop indoor environmental systems.

What is indoor environmental intelligence?

Indoor environmental intelligence turns indoor signals into operating insight: what is happening, where conditions vary, what actions matter, and how results can be verified.

Who is Metalmark for?

Metalmark is built for teams responsible for priority spaces, including healthcare networks, schools, senior care communities, workplaces, and multi-site portfolios.

Privacy and data

Does Pasoh record audio?

No. Pasoh uses ambient sound level only for operational context. It does not record or transmit audio.

Does Pasoh monitor people?

Pasoh is focused on indoor environmental quality signals. Sound-level context is used only to support environmental analytics and planning; Pasoh does not record or transmit audio.

Getting started

How should we start?

Start with the operating question: site readiness, smoke preparedness, portfolio consistency, intervention fit, or verification. Metalmark can then scope the right assessment or conversation.

What information should we share?

Useful starting context includes site type, number of spaces or locations, priority concerns, timeline, and whether the goal is measurement, planning, mitigation, or verification.

How do we contact Metalmark?

Use the contact form or email hello@metalmark.xyz. Product support and warranty inquiries can go to support@metalmark.xyz.

Start with the operating question you need to answer

Metalmark can help identify the right assessment, sensing deployment, planning path, or intervention fit.
