Air Quality Monitoring indoor

[Dave Jones]

is this worth looking at with MVHR to ensure what's in the house is actually what's expected ?

 

Any kit to look at ?

For Temp/humidity I use SensorPush via Bluetooth (you can buy an internet gateway for extra) in the attic, will be useful for my new build / screed drying etc. 

For Air Quality I bought a Foobot a few years ago left over from a science project, not available anymore as far as I know but it does CO2 (the main one you'll want) but also VoCs, Particulate Matter, temp, humidity also. Currently PM is 26.0 uG/m3, 154ppb VoCs, 557 ppm CO2 as an example with MVHR in play. Android app. 

There are a few smart home products that do air quality testing, not tried any but others will have more ideas I'm sure....

I look at CO2, which basically manitory in Scotland unless your house is declared to leak like sieve, for the master bedroom.  I installed a duplicate in the lounge also. They are mains wired, gives instantaneous CO2 ppm, average over 8 hrs, 24 hrs and peak over 24 hrs. Mine is made by Deta.

Saw this on "Just have a think" youtube channel (was a promotion):

Portable option! 10 days battery on 15 min charge so may not be suitable for long term house usage.
