Why you need a KNX CO2 sensor in your Smart Building

Measure CO2 content, improve air quality and increase well-being

Imagine sitting in your office (at home) and realising that you just can't concentrate on your task. Or imagine your child comes home from school and complains of headaches regularly.

The cause: possibly a CO₂ concentration in the room that is way too high!

More and more people spend their time in closed rooms, whether in the office or at home. Thus, rooms often become "stuffy" quite quickly. Often one realises much too late that it is actually time to open the windows or switch on the ventilation.

Yet good air quality is enormously important for well-being and health: a high Carbon dioxide concentration in the room air can lead to headaches, fatigue and concentration problems.

Do you have to set an alarm clock to open the windows every 30 minutes? No!

KNX CO2 sensor

Solution

All owners and residents of a Smart Home or Smart Building can now breathe a sigh of relief: just install a KNX CO₂ sensor to solve the problem. It measures the carbon dioxide content in the room air and informs if it is too high, e.g. by means of a CO₂ indicator light. If the light signal lights up red, you should urgently open the window. Or you can choose the more elegant variant and use the fully automatic ventilation via the KNX bus system. It activates the ventilation and automatically opens windows.

This way you create a healthier indoor climate. You can confidently say goodbye to headaches, fatigue and concentration problems due to too high a CO₂ content!
By the way, it is not only since the pandemic that we know that ventilation also ensures that pathogens such as flu or cold viruses run out of air.

Another advantage of such a KNX sensor: You can not only improve the air quality, but also save energy!
Because: Air conditioning or ventilation do not have to run continuously. It is sufficient if the ventilation is switched on when the KNX sensor reports that it is necessary. In this way, you can contribute to reducing your electricity costs.
