What is a CO2 meter?

A CO2 meter (or carbon dioxide meter) is a device used to measure the concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the air. It is commonly used to monitor air quality in indoor spaces such as offices, factories, and homes. High CO2 concentrations can indicate inadequate ventilation or closed spaces, which can lead to poor air quality and health issues if prolonged.

CO2 meters use sensor technology to continuously monitor CO2 levels in real-time. While traditional devices relied on chemical reactions to measure CO2 concentrations, modern devices typically employ infrared (NDIR) sensors for accurate and quick readings. This allows for proper adjustment of ventilation and air conditioning systems to maintain a comfortable indoor environment.

Application of CO2 meter

✅Office Ventilation Management
CO2 meters are used to monitor air quality in offices. High CO2 levels indicate inadequate ventilation, which can negatively affect staff health and concentration. By using CO2 meters, proper timing for air exchange can be determined.
✅Air Quality Monitoring in Schools and Classrooms
In schools and classrooms, high CO2 levels can lead to decreased concentration among students. Installing CO2 meters allows for monitoring and determining the appropriate timing for ventilation, helping maintain a comfortable learning environment.
✅Use in Hospitals and Clinics
In healthcare facilities, CO2 meters are used to monitor ventilation and manage air quality to reduce the risk of infections. Particularly during infection control measures, if CO2 levels exceed certain thresholds, air purifiers and ventilation systems need to be enhanced.
✅Factory Workplace Management
In factories, high CO2 concentrations can affect the health of workers, so CO2 meters are used for real-time monitoring. In enclosed workspaces, it helps ensure timely ventilation and strengthens ventilation systems when necessary.
