Kualitas udara dalam ruang (Indoor Air Quality atau IAQ) merupakan salah satu faktor penting yang memengaruhi kesehatan dan kenyamanan penghuni, namun pemahamannya di masyarakat masih relatif rendah. Kegiatan Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat ini bertujuan meningkatkan pengetahuan mengenai IAQ sekaligus memberikan keterampilan dalam memanfaatkan material alami melalui pelatihan pembuatan Green Aroma Candle pada Komunitas Ibu Hebat BCI-2 Tapos, Depok. Metode yang digunakan meliputi sosialisasi mengenai konsep IAQ, diskusi interaktif, pelatihan praktik pembuatan Green Aroma Candle berbahan soy wax, beeswax, dan essential oil, serta evaluasi melalui observasi partisipasi peserta selama kegiatan berlangsung. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan bahwa peserta memperoleh pemahaman yang lebih baik mengenai faktor-faktor yang memengaruhi kualitas udara dalam ruang, mengenal alternatif material alami yang lebih ramah lingkungan, serta mampu membuat Green Aroma Candle secara mandiri. Selain meningkatkan pengetahuan dan keterampilan, kegiatan ini juga membuka wawasan peserta mengenai peluang pengembangan produk berbasis material alami sebagai salah satu bentuk pemberdayaan ekonomi masyarakat. Dengan demikian, pelatihan Green Aroma Candlemenjadi salah satu strategi edukatif yang efektif dalam meningkatkan kesadaran masyarakat terhadap pentingnya kualitas udara dalam ruang serta mendukung penerapan prinsip hunian sehat dan berkelanjutan.
