Studies show that classroom CO2 levels of 2500 ppm had much worse test scores than at 1000 ppm.[2](https://doi.org/10.1051/e3sconf/202124601004) ![previous](https://4406702.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hubfs/4406702/features-arrow.svg) ![next](https://4406702.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hubfs/4406702/features-arrow.svg) ![Performance](https://www.airthings.com/hubfs/Illustrative%20icons_Quality.svg) ### Boost performance Improve productivity of students and staff, reduce absenteeism and create a healthy environment ![Data](https://www.airthings.com/hubfs/Website/Images/b2b/schools/Illustrative%20icons_B2B_For%20business.svg) ### Access data Easily visualize, manage and share historical and live air quality data with stakeholders ![Illustrative icons_Take action](https://www.airthings.com/hubfs/Illustrative%20icons_Take%20action.svg) ### Get full picture Gain deeper insights into your HVAC system operation, management of filtration and ventilation rates ![Money](https://www.airthings.com/hubfs/Illustrative%20icons_Optimize.svg) ### Save money Optimize building operation and energy consumption, save money and increase ROI ![Compliant](https://www.airthings.com/hubfs/Website/Images/b2b/schools/Illustrative%20icons_B2B_Certified.svg) ### Be compliant Easily comply with CO2 regulations and recommendations, create trust with parents, teachers, students ## Features and benefits ![Airthings Dashboard](https://www.airthings.com/hubfs/Airthings-b2b-Dashboard-Isolated.png) ![Product-feature-Icon_dark-grey_Easy to use](https://www.airthings.com/hubfs/Product-feature-Icon_dark-grey_Easy%20to%20use.svg) ### Simple installation Our battery-powered air quality monitors are easy to install and don’t need drilling or wiring.

High noise levels can leave people with long-term damage. We measure sound intensity in dB(A) and no sound is recorded. ![pm1-image](https://www.airthings.com/hubfs/b2b-updates/contaminants/Contaminant%20illustrations_Noise.svg) ![](https://www.airthings.com/hubfs/b2b-updates/virus-risk.svg) Virus Risk The calculation of how conducive your indoor environment is to the survival of airborne viruses and likelihood of transmission. ![pm1-image](https://www.airthings.com/hubfs/b2b-updates/contaminants/Contaminant%20illustrations_Mold-13.svg) ![](https://www.airthings.com/hubfs/b2b-updates/mold-rik.svg) Mold Risk A calculation of how conducive your indoor space is for mold growth.
