Indoor CO2 levels in schools

The importance of monitoring indoor CO2 levels in schools

CO2 monitoring in schools is critical to the well-being, productivity, and comfort of students, offering a multitude of benefits, including improved indoor air quality, energy efficiency, cost savings, regulatory compliance, and occupant comfort. Room sensors are used to monitor indoor CO2 concentration, a primary indicator of indoor air quality (IAQ) that is used by the HVAC system to facilitate optimal temperature, humidity, and air quality conditions. By adjusting ventilation rates according to actual occupancy levels, HVAC systems with CO2 sensors can optimise energy use, reducing consumption and decreasing costs. Additionally, CO2 sensors help public and commercial facilities ensure compliance with all building code requirements and regulatory standards for indoor air quality.

Robust CO2 sensors for correct measurements Monitor Carbon Dioxide

Controlling and monitoring indoor levels of CO2 is essential for everyone’s health, safety, and the energy efficiency of buildings. Therefore, it's important to ensure that your CO2 sensors are robust enough to provide accurate, long-term measurements.

IAQ in schools with CO2 focus Indoor air quality in schools

A contributor to poor indoor air quality in schools is elevated levels of carbon dioxide. In enclosed spaces the levels of CO2 can become high due to poor ventilation and a high density of occupants.
