CO2 meter for healthier indoor air

Since covid, indoor air quality has received much more attention. That is how CO2 meters made their way to the general public. But why do CO2 meters remain important, even after the pandemic?

It is important to measure CO2 in homes and offices but also in schools and public buildings. A CO2 meter boasts a number of advantages in terms of:

• Air quality: CO2 measurements are a good indicator of the general air quality in enclosed spaces. CO2 and other polluting substances tend to build up when the ventilation is poor to the detriment of air quality.
• Health and well-being: a high concentration of CO2 in the air often leads to health ailments such as headaches, fatigue, dizziness and problems with concentration and attention – issues that will only get worse over time.
• Productivity and cognitive functions: Studies have shown that high CO2 levels in an interior have a negative effect on the productivity and cognitive functions of the occupants. Healthy indoor air is consequently essential for a good learning and working environment.
• Virus spreading prevention: It has become clearer since the pandemic that good ventilation of indoor spaces is key to preventing viruses from spreading.
• Energy efficiency: You can optimise ventilation systems by measuring CO2 and save energy and costs.

Research shows: CO2 levels in classrooms are too high 15 per cent of the time, even with the windows open

Did you know that CO2 meters are mandatory in rooms larger than 15 square metres where people stay for more than 15 minutes? From 2025, an air quality label is also required. Ask us for advice if you would like to know more.
