The Hidden Threat: CO2 Levels in Our Homes
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a naturally occurring gas that plays a vital role in the Earth's carbon cycle. While it is essential for life, elevated levels of CO2 in indoor environments can have significant negative impacts on human health and well being.
Understanding how CO2 accumulates in our homes and workspaces and its detrimental effects is crucial for creating a product that efficiently removes Carbon Dioxide.
Our Analysis:
07:00 to 09:00
The CO2 level starts from 400 ppm and gradually increases. This could be due to the overnight decrease to increased human activity as people wake up and start their day.
09:00 to 11:00:
There's a sharp increase in CO2 levels, reaching approximately 1700 ppm. This may be linked to morning activities such as cooking breakfast or using appliances that emit CO2, like the tumble dryer.
11:00 to 13:00:
The CO2 level continues to rise, but stabilise at around 1800 ppm. This could be due to occupants out of the house at work or not in the two operational rooms.
13:00 to 17:00:
We believe this is when we begin to see a surge in CO2 levels. This si when we have the most utilities running like preparing lunch or doin our laundry.
17:00 to 19:00:
There's a significant spike in CO2 levels, reaching around 5000 ppm. This is likely due to evening activities, such as cooking dinner, increased occupancy from other members of the household coming home.
