Indoor Air Quality 

Essential Need of Monitoring CO₂ & Indoor Air Quality for Workspaces

by Astha Chavda on 12/12/25

Introduction

Today’s offices are modern, comfortable, and full of technology. But one important thing is often ignored—the air inside the workplace. Employees spend most of their day indoors, breathing the same air for hours. As people work, talk, and move around, the air slowly changes. Fresh oxygen reduces, and carbon dioxide (CO₂) and other pollutants begin to build up.
This change is quiet and invisible. People may not notice it right away, but it affects how they feel and how they work. That is why monitoring CO₂ and indoor air quality is not just useful anymore—it has become necessary for healthy workspaces. 

What Is Indoor Air Quality 

Indoor Air Quality, or IAQ, simply means how clean and healthy the air inside a building is. It depends on many things, such as:

  • How much fresh air comes inside
  • How many people are present
  • Temperature and humidity levels
  • CO2 levels and tiny air particles
When indoor air is clean, people feel comfortable and active. When air quality drops, people may feel tired, uncomfortable, or distracted without knowing the reason. 

The Hidden CO2 Problem in Offices

Carbon dioxide is released naturally when people breathe. In offices with many employees, closed windows, or small meeting rooms, CO₂ levels can rise quickly—especially during long working hours.
High CO2 levels do not smell bad and cannot be seen. But they affect the body in many ways:

  • Feeling sleepy or low on energy
  • Trouble focusing on work
  • Headaches and heavy feeling in the head
  • Slower thinking during meetings
Even offices with air conditioning can face this issue if fresh air is not properly managed. 

Why Monitoring CO2 and Air Quality Is Important

Most offices depend on ventilation systems or open windows, but these methods do not always work well. Air conditions change throughout the day as people enter and leave rooms.
Continuous monitoring helps by:

  • Showing real-time CO₂ levels
  • Warning when air quality becomes poor
  • Helping teams take action before people feel unwell
  • Keeping air conditions stable all day
Instead of guessing, monitoring gives clear information about the air.
