Indoor Air Quality Sensors

How do air quality sensors work?

Essentially, an air quality sensor measures one or more aspects of the environment (e.g., temperature, humidity, TVOC). Most air quality sensors work by converting the physical quantity they measure into an electrical signal. This signal is amplified and processed to give a reading of the quantity measured. The data the sensor collects can then be used to monitor and control the environment.

How can an air quality sensor protect my business?

An air quality sensor protects your business in multiple ways:

• Ensuring a safe and comfortable work environment: By monitoring indoor air quality, you can ensure that your employees are working in a safe environment. Additionally, by monitoring temperature and humidity, you can prevent spoilage of goods or damage to equipment.
• Improving efficiency and productivity: By monitoring the environment, you can optimize conditions for maximum efficiency and productivity. High pollutant levels limit cognitive function, irritate the respiratory system, and lead to fatigue.
• Maximizing energy savings: By monitoring temperature, humidity, and occupancy levels, you can adjust heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems to minimize energy consumption.

What happens if I don't have an air quality sensor?

If you don't have an air quality sensor, you won't be able to monitor the environment and optimize conditions for safety, comfort, and productivity. This could result in increased costs, decreased productivity, and potentially hazardous conditions. Additionally, you won't be able to save energy by properly regulating heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems.
