That sounds pretty high! Have you made any changes or do you still have it hit 1600 while you're sleeping? I was never able to find a good source for what levels to target, but I did come across this study [1] which claims to have measured a difference in cognitive function the next day for people who slept with avg c02 levels at 835 ppm vs the group at 660 ppm. I don't have the background to judge the legitimacy of the study, so it could be bogus for all I know. But keeping the window has been enough for me to keep the levels below 800 so I've tried kept that as the limit

- bluSCALE4 4y agoI did replace my water heater with an electric one. I got this after that so who knows that the baseline used to be but I do have some ideas for more improvements. I may open the window a smidge to see if it makes a difference. A little hesitant since I have a newborn and it being winter and all. I'm trying to get Home Assistant to work with Bluetooth so I can link the two and turn on the bathroom fan.
- monroewalker 4y agoOne thing I came across while looking into c02 and ventilation was the recommendation to sleep with the door closed but window open for fire safety concerns: https://fsri.org/programs/close-before-you-doze https://fsri.org/programs/close-before-you-doze. Something else to consider when settling on a setup
- bluSCALE4 4y agoMan, last night my levels jumped to 2,200. A major source looks to be the stove top as we made lentil soup. I also heard about windows: opening up the top and bottom to let hot air out and cold air in. Will try it out once we have 60º nights.
