Low cost and low power CO2 sensor

Dedicated CO₂ sensors enable monitoring of ambient air in private environments in order to generate air conditioning control inputs. The design requirements for such sensors are different to CO₂ sensors used for industrial applications. Main targets are high reliability, low maintenance, energy consumption and cost rather than high precision. Matched detectors with adaptive hardware and intelligent software enable engineers to build low power systems with the ability to detect measuring errors and provide self calibration in a required range.
