A simple way to improve work efficiency and avoid "airing wars" in the office

If you think that now I will read mantras like “you need to focus on work,” “you must love your work and yourself,” you are mistaken. This article is not about time management or projects. Geeks solve such problems with the help of dj. In this case, a carbon dioxide detector.

The thing is that if the level of carbon dioxide in the air is above the norm, then the person’s well-being deteriorates dramatically. A yawn appears. A person, without noticing it, begins to get annoyed over trifles, will not be able to concentrate on an important matter, and if he concentrates, the thinking process will proceed slowly. Naturally, such symptoms may have other causes, but the most frequent in real life and very easily resolved is the concentration of carbon dioxide that is too high.

For the same reason, “office wars” often arise. In each office there are employees "who are stuffy" and others "who are blowing." Because of this, conflicts often arise, because there is no objective indicator of "stuffiness". We at Dadget solved this problem with a CO2 detector. Wars have stopped once and for all.

How it works?

Inside the device is a sensitive sensor that measures the number of CO2 molecules in the air. The measurement results are immediately displayed on a small LCD display, which is located on the device. In addition to information on the concentration of CO2, the carbon dioxide detector shows the ambient temperature.

If a person does not know what concentration of CO2 can be considered normal, and to surf the Internet to obtain this information is lazy, then the LED indicator can be used. The indicator consists of three LEDs: green, yellow and red.



This traffic light works fine, and indicates whether the concentration of carbon dioxide has reached a critical level. If the red light comes on - you need to air the room urgently.

Ideally, the indicator should always be a steady green light. More information about the device can be found on the website of the djadget .

Technical details

The gadget can work both autonomously and when connected to a PC. With the help of PC software, you can monitor the CO2 content and the room temperature.

There are no batteries in the device, for work you need to connect the carbon dioxide detector to the power supply (USB port or 5 VDC from an external AC / DC adapter, the adapter is not included).

Where to use?

I think that such a device can (and should) be used everywhere:

• In the office;
• Houses;
• In the audience;
• In gym;
• In the hospital;
• In kindergarten.

In general, in any public or private location, including a car. Not so many people think about why their working capacity or ability to rationally and clearly think suddenly drops. And the problem can be very obvious, and it is worth airing the room, as the issue of reduced efficiency is removed from the agenda.

Naturally, not all the troubles of this world originate in elevated concentrations of CO2. But more often than not, a person feels bad for this reason. And if for an adult the increased concentration of CO2 is bad, then for a child - all the more.

I want more technical information!

Yes, recently on Habré three parts of one big review were published at once, with so many technical details, which would be enough for two candidate dissertations. If you like graphics, a lot of text and interesting technical information, then here are the links to the review:

• Part 1 ;
• Part 2 ;
• Part 3

Conclusion : as already mentioned above, the carbon dioxide detector is far from a panacea. But part of the problems that have become a familiar attribute of an adult person, the device can solve, and very quickly. Why not try it ?
