Ensuring Indoor Air Quality: Why Precise CO₂ Measurement Matters for Smart Homes and Buildings

Infineon has put together an upcoming webinar that will focus on air quality; specifically, the quality of air in tomorrow’s smart homes and buildings, and the technology that will be used to improve it.

From the webinar’s description: 

Concerns about indoor air quality are driven by the trend towards energy efficient buildings and improved health and wellness. Accurate CO₂ detection is an essential part of system solutions that drive realization of true smart homes and buildings, driving energy efficiency, better health and wellness, and improving public health and safety.

Indoor air quality is increasingly important to monitor in “tight” energy efficient work spaces; just 1000 ppm CO₂ can lead to drowsiness and difficulty concentrating, while levels above 2000 ppm impact cognitive function. Smart indoor Air Quality sensors can alert users or trigger alarms if rising levels are detected. Also, there is a strong correlation between CO₂ concentration and aerosols, which are a transmission pathway for viruses, like Covid-19.

Infineon’s Xensiv™ PAS CO2 sensor provides best in class accuracy with smallest size versus today’s commercially available CO₂ sensors. It is SMT capable for high volume manufacturing, and provides ease of use with the right amount of flexibility.

Key takeaways:

• How CO₂ levels impact our daily lives
• Applying CO₂ sensors to multiple applications and use cases
• How Infineon’s Xensiv™ PAS CO2 sensor provides best in class performance to meet the challenges of real CO₂ monitoring
