An air quality management system comprises a plurality of air quality sensors to sense air quality within a building, a plurality of air cleaning devices, and a computer system in communication with the plurality of air quality sensors and the plurality of air cleaning devices. The plurality of air quality sensors is located at a particular location within the building. The computer system determines a correlational model of air quality for the building that indicates a correlational relationship between the sensed air quality, a spatial parameter, a temporal parameter, and operation of the air cleaning devices. The computer system controls the plurality of air cleaning devices to implement an air quality control policy based on one or more air quality management parameters.
