The commandment for autumn and winter: Save, save, save heating energy … Keep an eye on room temperatures with these climate measuring devices

‘’Gas is a scarce commodity from now on,’’ declares our Minister of Economics, and unanimously urges us to save energy. And that means not heating up rooms unnecessarily in autumn and winter. Who would want to turn a blind eye to this bitterly serious appeal? But when does ‘unnecessary’ begin? From how many degrees is it one too many? On the one hand, this varies from person to person, because nobody should freeze or be cold. And on the other hand, you need a climate measuring device for a sensible answer. Only such a device can show you exactly at which heating temperatures you feel comfortable. Here, too, Trotec offers you the usual diverse selection – in terms of function, design and price.

Trotec practical knowledge: Tips for a better indoor climate 2/7 – How to ventilate your room correctly and sustainably

Rarely has there been so much talk about ‘ventilation’ as in the past and current year. No wonder, since the exchange of air in rooms was and still is considered a tried and tested means against potential corona virus load caused by infectious aerosols. So far, there is no measuring device that is able to prove the contamination of indoor air by SARS-CoV-2. However, it is possible to determine a necessary ventilation interval via the ‘detour’ of a permanent measurement of CO2 values. Because the more people are in living rooms, office spaces, production rooms, schools and daycare centres, the more the exhaled carbon dioxide level increases – to the point of a CO2 alarm: time to open all the windows!

BZ25 CO₂ Air Quality Monitor: reliable measurement of indoor air quality including a ‘’CO₂ traffic light’’ and an acoustic warning signal.

Increased carbon dioxide concentrations can lead to fatigue, poor concentration and loss of performance. In addition, they are a warning of possibly inadequate ventilation management, which always means a potentially increased risk of infection during corona times. With the BZ25, indoor air quality can be monitored reliably and particularly easily, because the air quality monitor has a symbol display for good, normal or poor carbon dioxide concentration. Ideal for use in offices, living- and children’s -rooms, classrooms, kindergartens and production environments.

BQ30 Air Quality Monitor – displays the current CO2 and fine dust levels in the air at a glance using signal lights

Potential fine dust sources and CO₂ emissions negatively influence home climate and wellness. Seemingly ‘normal’ things such as cooking, hoovering, tobacco and candle smoke, or lighting stoves or fireplaces contribute to this. Increased level of fine dust and CO₂ in the indoor air is responsible for difficulty in concentrating and sleeping, and for allergic reactions. As so-called CO₂ signal lights, measuring instruments serve to minimise the risk of infection during the current pandemic by using the right air. The Trotec Air Quality Monitor BQ30 determines not only the current CO₂ pollution levels but also the fine dust and pollen levels, as well as the prevailing indoor climate data – and displays the quality of the indoor air at a glance.

Do you sleep badly due to high CO2 levels? The BZ25 Air quality monitor reliably monitors interior air quality

“I lay awake all night!” Do you know anyone who claims this now and then? Maybe even you yourself? There is almost nothing that affects our physical and mental capabilities as much as not getting enough sleep. The main reason for that is too high a concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the bedroom. Therefore, experts recommend, other than sleeping next to an open window, also monitoring interior air quality – maybe with the BZ25 Air quality monitor.

Identify the danger of mould in your own home – thanks to the thermal hygrometer

Now in the cold time of the year, the dangers caused by the formation of mould on cold wall surfaces increase – often in the corners of poorly, or not heated, rooms. Besides just heating and ventilating these rooms correctly, it is recommended that the room’s climatic data, in this case the room air temperature and room humidity, are controlled with a simple measuring device such as a thermal hygrometer. This allow you to react quickly and counter high humidity with increased ventilation – and therefore prevent a health hazard caused by mould formation before it can begin.
