CO2 Control In School Classrooms

From ATI Airtest Technologies, Inc.
 

 

There are four primary reasons to consider using CO2 sensors in school classrooms.

1. Student Health Considerations
CO2 monitoring can ensure that acceptable levels of ventilation for the health and welfare of students and teachers is maintained at all times.

Are Codes & Standards Being Met?
CO2 levels can provide a direct indication of the CFM per person ventilation rate in school classrooms and can provide an ongoing indication if code required ventilation rates are being maintained. As a result, readings can immediately indicate problems and historical records of concentrations can be used to document acceptable performance of the ventilation system. CO2 sensors are much more cost effective than active airflow monitoring of outdoor intakes.


Products & Services
Gas detectors and gas sensors interact with a gas to initiate the measurement of its concentration. The detector or sensor then provides output to an instrument to display the measurements. Search by Specification | Learn more about Gas Detectors and Gas Sensors
Gas instruments detect, monitor or analyze gases present in an environment. Search by Specification | Learn more about Gas Instruments
Gas transmitters consist of an enclosure, sensor, and electronics that convert a signal from a gas sensor into an analog output signal (typically 4-20 mA). Search by Specification | Learn more about Gas Transmitters
