A healthy indoor climate is essential for your well-being and productivity, and for the well-being and productivity of your employees. With an indoor air quality meter, you can monitor and optimize the air quality in your home, avoiding health problems and creating the perfect environment to work and live in.
An indoor air quality monitor is a smart instrument that continuously monitors various parameters of your indoor air. These advanced devices measure everything from CO2 levels and humidity to temperature and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), so you always know if your air quality is optimal.
Poor air quality can lead to a number of health problems:
An indoor air quality meter helps you to:
Air is much more than CO2 or particles. That's why it's important that you choose an air meter that has many sensors, and preferably these:
The CO2 concentration is a key indicator of air quality. The Building Regulations (BR08) minimum requirement for rooms corresponds to approximately 1200 ppm, where the Danish Working Environment Authority recommends an upper value of 1000 ppm. When the CO2 level becomes too high, you may experience fatigue and difficulty concentrating.
Indoors, the humidity in the air should be between 40-60 percent, with the level on the low end in winter and on the high end in summer. Optimal humidity is crucial for:
The ideal indoor temperature is between 20-22 degrees Celsius for optimal comfort and health.
VOCs come from cleaning products, furniture, and building materials and can negatively impact air quality.
SKYEN is an air quality meter that is a little out of the ordinary. If you are interested in having full control over your indoor climate, SKYEN is a fantastic choice. This meter not only monitors CO2, but also noise, TVOC (volatile organic compounds), temperature, light and humidity.
Advantages:
For those who want basic measurements without breaking the bank, there are several good options:
Hygrometer/Humidity meter:
Problem: CO2 above 1000 ppm
Solution: Increase ventilation, reduce the number of people in the room, check the ventilation system and air out
Problem: Dry air, especially in winter
Solution: Install a humidifier or place water bowls on the radiator
Problem: Risk of mold and bacterial growth
Solution: Improve ventilation, use a dehumidifier, check for leaks and air out.
Problem: Chemical compounds from furniture or cleaning products
Solution: Increase ventilation, choose environmentally friendly products, let new furniture "air out" outside or in another room
An indoor air quality meter can save you money by:
Modern indoor air quality meters integrate with smart building systems and can:
The SKY from ÅBN integrates with your ventilation using MODBUS and your systems using openAPI.
An indoor air quality monitor is a valuable investment in your health and comfort. By monitoring CO2, humidity, temperature and other important parameters, you can create the optimal indoor climate and avoid health problems.
Start by identifying your needs - whether you want basic monitoring or comprehensive control - and then choose the right solution. Remember to position your air meter correctly and maintain it regularly for best results.
With the right indoor air quality meter and the tips we have shared, you are well on your way to creating a healthier and more comfortable home for you and your family.
