Small mistakes, big impact

Air quality sensors should be calibrated regularly as they form a basis for analyses. If the measured values are too high, this leads to an increased volume flow of the ventilation system, which in turn increases the demand for heating or cooling - and therefore increases both energy costs and CO₂ emissions.

Air quality measurements in individual zones provide an indication of the actual air quality. The installation of additional LoRa sensors at selected locations offers an uncomplicated way of recording such data. If these are compared with the measured values of existing systems, failures or drift events can be easily identified.

Faulty sensors are a significant problem in around 30% of the ventilation systems analyzed by Oxoia. This issue is therefore a high priority. We therefore recommend that all our customers install a few additional sensors in order to detect and rectify problems caused by faulty sensors at an early stage - and thus create the basis for permanently minimized operating costs and CO₂ emissions.
