Press Release: Cemtrex Offers New Carbon Dioxide Monitoring Data Logger
Cemtrex announced today the release of the CDD 300 Carbon Dioxide Data Logger for measuring and analyzing carbon dioxide levels inside a commercial building. This tool allows energy auditors to evaluate some of the major costs directly related to Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) equipment in office buildings, shopping centers, hospitals, restaurants, malls and airports. By utilizing Cemtrex CDD 300 tool, energy auditors can determine how carbon dioxide levels fluctuate throughout a building as an indicator of occupancy patterns. It is then possible for them to determine whether the building is over-ventilating according to ASHRAE 2007 Standard 62.1 and thus a reduction in energy consumption may be possible by applying demand control ventilation.
