A former client of mine, Healthy Workers, is solving this problem by creating smart buildings that measure things such as CO2 and O2.
They are hiring a backend developer and other non-technical roles in Amsterdam.

- antisthenes 8y agoWhat's the competitive advantage vs just using household CO2 sensors that cost $60-100 and are portable between rooms?
- mettamage 8y agoHealthy Workers combines people data (with their explicit consent) and sensor data. It is also not only about CO2 and O2. I wouldn’t know what they are tracking now but the idea is that they track everything environmental-building related.
- antisthenes 8y agoGotcha, makes a lot more sense now. At the very least, I'd track at least 3-4 factors beyond simple CO2, so it makes sense to integrate that all at once at HVAC level rather than carry around 5 sensors.
- chroem- 8y agoBut virtually all buildings already do this. In fact, it's often part of the (legal) building code.
- swampthinker 8y agoOnly CO detectors are mandatory in buildings.
- JamesCoyne 8y agoNo. Building Codes typically refer to a standard like ASHRAE 62, which basically prescribes a fresh-air rate for a space by size and occupancy. Demand based ventilation is not common in my experience (small commercial buildings).
- chroem- 8y agoI suppose it could be the difference between high rises and smaller structures. My projects have been very particular about it.
- JamesCoyne 8y agoProbably right. Many clients view it only as an added expense for equipment. Beyond that, there is a certain type of client/owner who is skeptical of any automation beyond a bi-metallic thermostat.
