What is a healthy level of CO2 in an indoor workspace?
People become sleepy, and can get headaches at levels as low as 1,200 ppm. Harvard studies suggest that a 15% reduction in cognitive function can happen at these levels.
What contributes to healthy and unhealthy levels of CO2 in the air?
Levels of 600-800 ppm are typical in office environments with many guidelines suggesting CO2 levels not exceed 1000 ppm (700 ppm above outdoor levels). Some individuals are sensitive to CO2 levels as low as 600 ppm so action may even be warranted at lower levels.
What are some common ways that CO2 levels increase in an indoor environment?
The main source of high CO2 levels is poor ventilation and a lack of outdoor air being supplied into a space. Real-time monitoring of CO2 levels while tied to the outdoor air supply will allow your space to automatically stay within the ideal range for human performance.
What happens when CO2 levels increase and it’s not identified or managed?
People become sleepy, and can get headaches at levels as low as 1,200 ppm. Harvard studies suggest that a 15% reduction in cognitive function can happen at these levels.
