THERE IS SOME buzz about the cor- relation between CO2 levels and aero- sols and their impact on the spread of viruses. Science is working diligently through studies and tests to highlight
Testo recognises that CO2 has a di- rect influence on how comfortable people feel in their workspace (e.g. of- fice, assembly, apartments or school rooms) and also on the effectiveness of the ventilation system.
It is known that a rapid increase
of CO2 concentration of indoor air
is the typical consequence of the
presence of many persons in relatively small spaces with a low air exchange rate.
An indoor climate is perceived to be comfort- able when the temperature is between 20°C and 23°C and the air humidity between 30 per cent and 70% RH.
Numerous European countries (e.g. Finland, Denmark, Sweden, Norway) have published guidelines and recommendations for the ventila-
tion of buildings, living rooms, schools, offices, children’s day centres, workplaces, which in- clude stipulations for the limitation of CO2 con- centrations in indoor air from which here in Aus- tralia we can learn from.

Measuring air exchange rate
There are quality CO2 measuring instruments or data loggers that are indispensable for early identification of increased CO2 content, in order to ensure good indoor air quality.
Testo offers the appropriate measuring tech- nology that is easy to install, easy to operate and extremely accurate to measure the above param- eters. In addition to CO2, it also measures temper- ature and humidity without any interruption. Hence, it is suitable to use in rooms where a lot of people gather.
Its measurement values are transmitted by WiFi to the Cloud, allowing alarm notifications of limit value violations by e-mail or SMS. The easily visible air quality traffic light also ensures that the responsible people see the indoor air quality status at one glance.
Testo recommends the data logger - testo 160 IAQ – as an ideal measuring technology for mon- itoring indoor air quality. Search ‘IAQ’ on the testo.com.au website for a suitable technology in your operation to keep staff, clients, visitors, children and students comfortable.
