The regulatory position

Awaab's Law is changing what housing providers must prove

The Social Housing (Regulation) Act 2023 introduced new obligations for registered providers to investigate and fix hazards including damp and mould within fixed timeframes. Phase 1 came into force in October 2025. Phase 2 begins on 30 November 2026. Providers need to demonstrate that they are monitoring conditions and responding to issues, not just reacting to complaints.

Monitoring can help record indoor conditions. To assess whether a hazard was investigated and resolved, providers also need dated inspection, repair and resident communication records. Monitoring does not guarantee compliance or replace inspections.

Continuous monitoring

What Algi Sense tracks in every home

Algi Sense is designed to record indoor conditions in deployed homes. Agree sensor coverage, connectivity, alert handling and the treatment of missing readings before installation.

Temperature

Continuous room temperature logged at one-minute intervals. Excess cold and excess heat alerts triggered against configurable thresholds. Seasonal patterns and heating-system behaviour visible over time.

Humidity

Relative humidity tracked continuously. Sustained high humidity flagged as condensation risk. Humidity spikes that may indicate possible leaks are surfaced for investigation. All readings timestamped and stored.

Air quality

CO2 levels monitored as a proxy for ventilation rate. Particulate matter (PM2.5) tracked where outdoor pollution exposure is a factor. Ventilation adequacy inferred from CO2 decay curves.

Evidence, not assumptions

Connect readings with response records

Use dated readings alongside investigation and maintenance records to review conditions before and after an intervention. Readings alone do not prove a repair worked or that a response met a legal deadline.

Automated alerts

Discuss thresholds, recipients and escalation responsibilities for your deployment. Alerts support investigation; resident reports and inspections remain essential.

Maintenance logging

When a condition triggers an alert, the response is logged against the same timeline. Investigation, referral, repair, follow-up. All timestamped, all linked to the sensor data.

Exportable records

Full data export for any property, any time period. PDF reports for case files, CSV for analysis, API access for integration with your existing housing management system.

From one home to your whole stock

Built for portfolios, not single properties

Most monitoring tools work at the property level. Algi works at the portfolio level. See conditions across your entire stock from one dashboard. Identify patterns across estates, building types, and construction eras. Prioritise interventions where the data shows the greatest risk.

Volume pricing available for portfolios of 50 or more units. Book a call to discuss your stock.

Common questions about housing monitoring

What does Algi monitor in each home?

Algi Sense units measure temperature, relative humidity, and CO2 continuously. Particulate matter (PM2.5) is also tracked. Readings are logged at one-minute intervals, timestamped, and stored on the Algi platform.

Does Algi guarantee compliance with Awaab's Law?

No. Monitoring can help record indoor conditions, but readings alone do not prove a hazard was investigated or resolved on time. Providers must keep response, repair and resident communication records and meet their duties. Algi does not guarantee compliance, prevent mould or replace inspections.

Can Algi detect damp and mould?

Algi monitors conditions that correlate with damp and mould risk, specifically sustained high humidity and inadequate ventilation. It does not directly detect mould growth. Humidity spikes that may indicate possible leaks are surfaced for investigation.

How does the evidence trail work?

Every sensor reading is timestamped and stored. When a condition triggers an alert, the response and any maintenance action is logged against the same timeline. The full record is exportable as PDF or CSV for case files, complaints, or regulatory review.

What is the hardware and how is it installed?

Algi Sense is a compact wireless sensor that measures temperature, humidity, CO2, and PM2.5. It is battery powered, requires no wiring, and installs in minutes. The sensor connects to the Algi platform via WiFi or the Algi Hub gateway. Hardware is leased, not purchased.

Is there volume pricing for large portfolios?

Yes. Housing associations and local authorities with portfolios of 50 or more units are eligible for volume pricing. Book a call to discuss your stock and requirements.
