Airthings Debuts Space CO2 Mini, a Groundbreaking CO2 Monitor with 10+ Years of Battery Life

OSLO, NORWAY & MUNICH, GERMANY - (October 4, 2022) - Airthings, the global leader in air quality monitoring for businesses, schools and homes, today launched its newest indoor air quality monitor under its Airthings for Business portfolio - Space CO2 Mini. Revealed today at the Expo Real conference in Munich, Germany for the very first time, Space CO2 Mini is an innovative, accurate, and scalable CO2 monitor that includes temperature, humidity, lux, noise, air pressure, and presence detection sensors. Space CO2 Mini helps achieve a balance of health and energy efficiency across all rooms in any commercial building. Attendees of the Expo Real conference are welcome to learn more about the product in person at Airthings Booth #A3.022 from October 4-6th, 2022.

Fully wireless and battery-operated, Space CO₂ Mini is small in size, yet big in impact. Offered in a 4-pack, the RESET-accredited Space CO₂ Mini is a highly-scalable product that provides building managers with a convenient way to easily deploy a CO₂ monitoring solution across every room of an entire commercial building at once. The most dynamic aspect of Space CO₂ Mini is its impressive battery lifespan, which can exceed 10 years. This is an incredible duration for a wireless monitor, far surpassing the efficiency of any other air quality monitor on the market, and underscoring Airthings’ commitment to a greener planet. Inspired by Airthings’ circular principles, Space CO₂ Mini is the company’s most sustainable product ever, representing a 50% carbon footprint reduction compared to its first all-around product, Space Plus, formerly Wave Plus for Business. The extended battery life and wireless design of Space CO₂ Mini is a true gamechanger to the air quality monitoring industry for offices, schools, and public buildings, representing an upgrade that is not only more energy-efficient and better for the earth, but also allows for mass-level scalability across large buildings, generating significant cost savings.

“We’re thrilled to continue improving our Airthings for Business portfolio with the introduction of Space CO₂ Mini, a scalable, high-quality CO₂ monitor that will help facility managers drastically improve indoor air quality and radically reduce energy consumption in commercial buildings,” said Oyvind Birkenes, CEO of Airthings. “By effectively monitoring CO₂ levels, our customers can proactively foster a healthy indoor air climate for occupants, while being empowered to make data-driven decisions that will benefit both our planet and their bottom line.”

Buildings use 40% of the world’s energy, and 30% of that comes from heating, ventilation, cooling and lights. In addition, 80% of the buildings that will be utilized in 2050 have already been built, which limits the potential impact of innovation through construction. However, this inherently creates an opportunity for any facility manager to assess and improve their building’s energy usage and air quality, unlocking significant cost savings. Space CO₂ Mini is a fantastic place to start. With children returning to the classroom and businesses seeking to reduce the potential spread of airborne viruses, settings such as schools, shopping centers and nursing homes can now use Space CO₂ Mini to make data-driven decisions and evaluate the effectiveness of their ventilation/BMS systems, taking action to improve air quality and reallocate usage when necessary.

Loaded with features, Space CO₂ Mini is equipped with additional sensors for temperature, relative humidity, air pressure, noise, light, virus risk and occupancy. The product also includes a CO₂ Alert feature that notifies users whenever CO₂ levels surpass a certain threshold, through visual indications. Space CO₂ Mini arrives on the heels of Airthings’ renaming of its business-facing products to reinforce the importance of our everyday spaces. Nothing has more of a direct impact on our overall wellness than the “spaces” in which we spend the most time. Space CO₂ Mini is the discreet yet powerful completion to the Airthings for Business portfolio that will enable mass-level scalability of CO₂  monitoring at an affordable cost. Seamlessly integrated into any indoor space, Space CO₂ Mini is the “secret weapon” air quality solution to help your commercial building achieve victory against the regulations and health impacts of CO_2..
