CO2Meter, a leading innovator in gas detection and monitoring technologies, proudly announces the launch of its newly expanded indoor air quality (IAQ) product line, tailored for both homeowners (B2C) and commercial facility managers (B2B). This strategic expansion reflects the company’s commitment to helping people "breathe easier" by knowing exactly what's in the air they breathe, whether at home, work, or school.
Since 2006, CO2Meter has remained at the forefront of air quality innovation, with a mission to provide accurate, reliable monitoring tools that help people understand the invisible factors impacting their health, safety, and productivity.
Why Indoor Air Quality Monitoring Matters
Indoor air quality has become a global public health concern. With most people spending over 90% of their time indoors, the quality of air inside homes, classrooms, and offices has a direct impact on respiratory health, cognitive function, and well-being.
Poor IAQ has been linked to allergies, asthma, Sick Building Syndrome (SBS), and even increased transmission of airborne viruses like COVID-19 and influenza. Real-time IAQ monitoring empowers individuals and organizations to take control—adjusting ventilation, purifying air, and optimizing HVAC systems to create safer environments.

Fixed IAQ Systems that Support LEED, ASHRAE, WELL, and RESET Compliance
Indoor air quality is not just a matter of comfort, it's also a regulatory and health imperative.
CO2Meter’s fixed B2B IAQ monitors are engineered to help building owners and facility managers comply with leading standards that govern air quality in commercial and institutional environments.
These standards include:
- ASHRAE 62.1 (Ventilation for Acceptable Indoor Air Quality)
- ASHRAE 55 (Thermal comfort in Indoor Air Environments)
- LEED v4 and v4.1 (Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ) Credits)
- WELL Building Standard - Air Concept (Particulate Matter, VOCs, CO2)
- RESET Air Standard - Performance-based IAQ Monitoring for Real-Time Data Accuracy
By monitoring and adjusting air quality in real time, organizations can reduce risk, improve tenant satisfaction, and future-proof their building systems.
Here's how each CO2Meter IAQ B2B solution aligns with these standards:

Real-World Results: Monitoring Reduces Illness in Classrooms
In a recent case study at a Serbian university, naturally ventilated classrooms using IAQ monitors saw dramatic improvements in air quality:
- CO2 levels decreased by 35% after monitoring and HVAC optimization
- High correlation found between elevated CO2 and increased illness
- Classroom environments became healthier during both winter and spring seasons
This case reinforces the value of real-time IAQ data in creating healthier learning environments.

Benefits of Indoor Air Quality Monitors for Families
Air quality monitors like the CM-INK-1 empower parents and caregivers to ensure safe, breathable air in bedrooms, nurseries, and shared spaces. By tracking CO2, temperature, and humidity, families can reduce allergens, prevent mold, and improve sleep and cognitive performance; all from a smartphone app.
Whether you are caring for children, elderly family members, or just yourself, IAQ monitoring is a simple and smart investment in health and peace of mind.
How Businesses Can Use IAQ Data to Improve Performance
Companies and institutions can use air quality data to enhance employee well-being, reduce sick days, and boost productivity. Poor air quality has been shown to reduce concentration and increase fatigue.
With CO2Meter’s fixed IAQ systems, businesses can monitor conditions in real time, receive alerts, and optimize HVAC settings; improving overall building performance and occupant satisfaction.
