Aura-CO2 in the Spotlight

On May 18th, our Aura-CO2 monitor was featured on national TV news, highlighting its crucial role in maintaining air quality. The segment discussed the recent Taylor Swift concert in France, attended by 180,000 fans, the crowd's density led to a noticeable rise in Covid-19 cases among attendees.

This incident underscores the importance of monitoring CO2 levels in crowded spaces, as elevated CO2 can indicate poor ventilation, increasing the risk of airborne disease transmission, such as Covid-19.

Pascal Morenton from the collective NousAérons, a well-known advocate for better air quality standards, spoke on the broadcast about the risks associated with high CO2 levels showing that after 2h of concert the CO2 level reached 1,772 PPM, almost twice the recommended level for enclosed spaces, despite the concert hall meeting regulatory standard for ventilation.

The Importance of CO2 Monitoring

Carbon dioxide levels in the air are a critical indicator of indoor air quality. When CO2 levels rise, it often means that ventilation is inadequate, which can lead to higher concentrations of airborne pathogens. By monitoring CO2 levels, Aura-CO2 helps to:

Improve Ventilation: Alerts users when CO2 levels are too high, indicating the need for better airflow.
Reduce Disease Spread: By maintaining optimal CO2 levels, the risk of airborne disease transmission is minimized.
Ensure Comfort: Provides a healthier indoor environment for everyone.

The Technology Behind Aura-CO2

Our latest CO2 innovation, Aura-CO2, a state-of-the-art CO2 monitor made in France. Aura-CO2 is not just any CO2 monitor; it is a sophisticated, battery-operated device available in 2 versions, one is connected via LoRaWAN & Bluetooth, or the second is Bluetooth only, providing real-time data to ensure the safety and well-being of indoor environments.

Our monitor is designed to guide users in improving air quality. When CO2 levels indicate poor ventilation, the device alerts users, allowing them to take timely action to optimize airflow and ensure a healthy environment.

Powered by the advanced NDIR sensor from eLichens, making it the most precise and durable CO2 sensor on the market with over 20 years of lifespan.

KEY FEATURES include:

Continuous Monitoring: Measures CO2 concentration, temperature, and relative humidity continuously to meet ventilation and aeration recommendations for classrooms, homes, offices,and any other enclosed spaces.
No Drift: Thanks to its patented auto-calibration algorithm and dual-channel technology, ensuring high accuracy without the need for recalibration or maintenance.
User-Friendly Display: CO2 measurements are shown on an e-Paper display, with visual and audible indicators to alert you when air quality is compromised.
Dual Connectivity: Integrates both LoRaWAN for data communication and Bluetooth Low Energy for configuration of thresholds, alarms, and more.
Cloud Access: The eLichens Cloud allows registered users to access their measurements from anywhere, with no additional subscription costs. The free smartphone application provides also the data, graphs, API is also available for custom remote monitoring.
Long Battery Life: Powered by lithium batteries providing up to 5 years of autonomy, eliminating the need for cables or power supplies.
