Good ventilation is necessary for a nice and healthy indoor climate. Healthy air also helps limit the transmission of respiratory infections, such as COVID-19. The CO2 content (what is CO2?) in a room is one of the most important indicators whether the air is still clean enough or whether ventilation is required. The RIVM and the government write that ventilation is important for health.* An example of this is the government's 'Fresh Schools' program from a few years ago. Vedotec has a wide range of sensors to measure the CO2 content. This allows us to deliver tailor-made solutions.
Traffic light
The sensors are available with traffic light. A traffic light indicates very clearly; green means good air quality, orange means ventilate, red means leave the room temporarily and ensure good air exchange. The calculation of the value in ppm (parts per million) is done with a microprocessor. This processor ensures that the measurement is converted to the correct output signal. The sensors are also available with a display on which the CO2 content can be read in ppm. While a technician would like to see an exact value in ppm, a precise value is often difficult for a non-techie to interpret, which can lead to a misconception about air quality.
Wall mounting
One of the sensors we supply is a 'Plug-and-play' solution, which can now be used as an indication for ventilation, but can also be easily integrated into the ventilation system later. This means that the expenditure you make now is not wasted money, but an investment for the future.
