Monitoring indoor air quality is crucial for facility managers. Here are five types of sensors, affordable yet reliable, essential for efficient operations. Please note that they are not ranked in any particular order.
- Particulate Matter (PM) Sensors
- Detect and measure fine particulate matter like PM2.5 and PM10, crucial for assessing air pollution levels and potential health risks. These sensors help in understanding the concentration of airborne particles.
