Airthings indoor air quality sensors make buildings smarter and greener
- Published 2 December 2022 and updated 23 March 2026. Airthings for Business supplies battery-powered indoor-air sensors for non-residential buildings. It tracks eight measures—CO₂, humidity, temperature, radon, volatile organic compounds, pressure, occupancy and relative light—and offers calculated mould and virus-risk indicators. Data can drive heating, ventilation and lighting based on air quality and occupancy.
- The sensors connect to building-management systems through an open API. A dashboard supports data review, comparison, export, alerts, analytics and reports. The page says building operators often lack room-level usage data and rely on fixed schedules; sensor-driven control can improve air quality while reducing unnecessary ventilation, energy use, emissions and costs.
- The page cites EU buildings as responsible for 40% of energy use and 36% of greenhouse gas emissions, with around three-quarters considered inefficient. It points to a large market in existing non-residential buildings in Europe and the US. Airthings was founded in 2008 by CERN scientists and launched its commercial-building sensors in 2018; it reports customers in Europe and the US. Links to UN goals 3 and 11.
