Paint, furniture and cleaning products give off gases all night.
A freshly renovated or freshly cleaned hotel room is full of these gases, and they keep coming off long after the smell fades. They irritate the airways, make asthma worse, and get in the way of sleep. TOP flags the rooms that need airing out before bed.

TOP tracks VOCs in every room they sleep in, home and away, around the clock, and flags anything outside this band before lights-out.
What VOCs does to a sleeping athlete.
Volatile organic compounds are gases given off by paint, furniture, flooring, cleaning products and air fresheners. They build up in closed rooms long after the smell fades. The main effects are on the airways, the head and sleep. Breathing them can irritate the eyes, nose and throat, cause headaches and tiredness, make asthma worse, and lead to lighter, more broken sleep in rooms that are not aired out.
A closed bedroom holds the gases from everything in it, all night, during the exact hours that decide recovery. For an athlete with asthma the irritation comes on top of an already sensitive chest. The athlete notices a stuffy room and a dull morning and never connects the two.
The research
Not our opinion. The literature.
2–5×
Common organic pollutants run 2 to 5 times higher inside buildings than outdoors, and the bedroom is where athletes spend a third of their day.
US EPA, TEAM studies
~100 compounds
Occupied bedrooms accumulated emissions of nearly 100 distinct VOCs during sleeping hours, more than any other room in the home.

More deep sleep
Raising bedroom ventilation cut awakenings and light sleep and increased deep sleep, alongside lower overnight TVOC and CO₂.
Fan 2023, Sci Total Environ
There is no single health-based "safe" TVOC number, so the target is the level of a well-aired room: low and stable. A spike after cleaning, painting or new furniture is the signal to ventilate.
You control training, load and nutrition. Control the room too.
Put a TOP device in your athletes’ bedrooms at home and in every hotel room on the road. It runs on its own cellular connection, needs no app or wifi, and streams VOCs and five other room conditions to one dashboard, so you fix the room before anyone sleeps in it.
Plug in and go
Connect it to power and it’s working. No app, no pairing, no setup.
No wifi needed
It brings its own cellular connection, so hotel wifi never gets in the way.
Ready in minutes
One kit manager preps tens of rooms before the team even lands.
Better sleep, better recovery, fewer injuries.
Thirty minutes, your schedule. We’ll show you the dashboard live and scope a pilot for the rooms your team sleeps in next.
