Healthy air, everything you need to know about choosing a CO2 sensor

Why install a CO₂ sensor in your home or office?

A CO₂ sensor is an ally for monitoring indoor air quality. It measures the concentration of carbon dioxide (ppm) in the air in real time. When the CO₂ level is too high, the device triggers an alarm to alert you to the need to ventilate.

The benefits of a CO₂ detector:

• Precise measurement of CO₂ concentration in ppm
• Monitoring of temperature, humidity and pollutants in the air
• Display of CO₂ levels detected in each room
• Warning signal or alarm if thresholds are exceeded

Higher risk of transmitting viruses and bacteria

A poorly ventilated space with a high level of carbon dioxide is often synonymous with confined air, where microbes spread more easily.

This is particularly true of schools, crèches, offices and public buildings. Monitoring air quality helps to maintain acceptable levels and ensure the health of all occupants.

Ventilation: the key to healthy air

When the sensor detects a high level of carbon dioxide, it prompts you to ventilate. Ventilation is essential for reducing fine particles, maintaining a good temperature and controlling humidity levels in your rooms.

The benefits of ventilation :

• Reduction in fine particles
• Better room temperature
• Reduced humidity levels
• Limitation of pollutants and bacteria

The essential criteria for choosing your CO₂ sensor

To guarantee reliable, continuous measurement of air quality, it's important to choose the right equipment. Here are the key features to consider:

Measurement accuracy

A sensor must offer accurate and regular measurement. For example, our sensors measure the main air pollutants every five minutes, ensuring optimum accuracy for monitoring carbon dioxide concentration.

Easy to install and use

Choose a sensor that's easy to install and has an intuitive interface for accessing data in real time.

Additional functions

Some sensors measure other important parameters, such as :

• Temperature and humidity
• Fine particles (PM2.5, PM10)
• Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)

These features provide a complete picture of indoor air quality, enabling you to take effective action to improve your environment.

The benefits of a CO₂ sensor for your health and comfort

A CO₂ sensor doesn't just measure carbon dioxide, it's a real ally in improving your quality of life.

Preventing health risks

Low carbon dioxide levels reduce the risk of respiratory infections, particularly during epidemics. By monitoring CO₂ levels, you protect your health and that of the occupants.

Improving day-to-day comfort

Healthy air improves concentration, sleep quality and breathing comfort. Thanks to a connected sensor, you can monitor the temperature, humidity and carbon dioxide levels in your various rooms in real time.

Where to install a CO₂ sensor?

Our sensors are designed to adapt to different types of space:

• Offices: to ensure a productive environment.
• Schools and nurseries: to protect children's health.
• Public buildings: to ensure the comfort and safety of occupants.
