Binnenklimaattechniek Foundation launches online registry CO₂ meters

The past year has seen ventilation improvements in many school buildings. More than 1,400 schools have now enlisted the help of the help team ventilation from Ruimte-OK and CO₂ meters have been installed in thousands of classrooms. To measure whether ventilation is in order, the Minister of Primary and Secondary Education announced last fall that a CO₂ meter would be required in every classroom.

There are hundreds of CO₂ meters available. But as a school board, how do you choose a particular type of CO₂ meter? It is a question the ventilation help team receives with some regularity. The answer to that question has recently become easier to answer. In addition to the prepared guide there is now also a national register online that provides a good overview of available CO₂ meters. By consulting the register when choosing a particular type of CO₂ meter, a school board can be almost certain that the meter chosen meets all legal requirements. The list is not yet complete and is constantly being updated.

What added value does the registry provide?

To be included in the national register, suppliers and their products must meet a number of requirements. These derive largely from the Building Code. Upon registration, the supplier must declare compliance with said requirements. The suppliers in the register distinguish themselves, among other things, on the basis of: technical requirements of the CO₂ meter, requirements for the dashboard and cloud environment, as well as available product information. For the latter, consider a manual and technical specifications.

Given the increasing importance of monitoring, in addition to the technical requirements, a monitoring function is also assumed where the data is retained for at least one year. This is to ensure that information on the concentration of carbon dioxide is available and can be analyzed over a longer period of time. This is important to get a better picture of indoor climate quality.

Chairman of the Binnenklimaattechniek Foundation, Remi Hompe: "In the quest for a healthier indoor climate, it is difficult to determine the best place to start. With the National Register CO₂-meters, we offer school boards and municipalities, as well as other agencies, a helping hand."
