BAPI, BA/BS3X-VOC05-Z-LED, CO2 Room Sensor, Sensor, VOC 0 to 5V, No, LED
Features:
- VOC Alone or Temperature and Humidity Combination
- Achieves True Indoor Air Quality, Not Just CO2 Dilution
- Output is Correlated to a CO2 Value Allowing You to Ventilate Using ASHRAE's CO2-Based VRP Algorithm
The BAPI sensor is able to measure these VOCs and indicate when a space is occupied just as well as a CO2 sensor. The advantage of the VOC sensor is that it measures air contaminants from other sources besides respiration, such as building materials, cleaners, perfumes and furniture and carpet off-gassing. Using this sensor for Demand Controlled Ventilation then is a way of achieving true indoor air quality, rather than just CO2 dilution.
A further benefit is that it requires no additional work on your part. That's because the sensor converts the VOC reading to a CO2 equivalent level. This lets you use ASHRAE's CO2-based VRP schedule to ventilate.
