Abstract


Indoor air quality monitoring, essential for maintaining healthy environments and for setting appropriate corrective measures, can be carried out using dedicated sensors or laboratory testing to detect pollutants such as CO₂ . This paper presents experimental results on CO₂ concentration in various indoor settings. The environmental measurements support efforts to position high-performance CO₂ sensors on the European market and align with current trends in sensor development. Sensor performance and inter-device consistency were evaluated using three devices: Sensors Europe GmbH – AGM50, Greisinger EBG-CO2-1R, and the experimental Nattive-Senz INO-SEN CO2.
