BBP,

AC and I have gone around this discussion several times. Be aware that he has a very small home and he has sealed it almost like a boat. In his case, about 1 home in a million (or less), he...

AC,

Please note that I am not against all gas appliances. But they must be put in properly. I really like vented water heaters in the garage - not in the home. And I never ever recommend the...

You are correct, carbon monoxide (CO) is by FAR more of a danger than carbon dioxide (CO2).

Carbon monoxide binds to hemoglobin with 200 times the strength (affinity) of oxygen. It binds in the...

AC - good observation on how "ventless" heaters are dangerous. Sadly, the national appliance alliance has labelled many appliances as "ventless". These include not only small heaters, but...

Really?

Digital has precision, not necessarily accuracy. There could be an entire discussion of double and triple precision data logging here :eek:

On the other hand analog thermistors have...

This is GREAT news and you have done well by hacking a control transistor to drive an output pulse.

Digital controls have incredible precision, but the analog world often is much faster. Chips...

AC,

A quick calibration can be the CO2 content of your breath at the end of expiration ~ 7%.

worldtrekker,

AC has a good sensor and it doesn't respond to humidity and temperature as do many CO2 sensors. All that said, we need to look at the total volume sampled (VERY small) inside a home...

AC,

I apologize. Been down the road you are going (sensing CO2) many years ago and was trying to give you some factual information on sensing variables.

Again, sorry about the...

AC and gang,

Good information on ERV vs HRV graphics.

First off, homes rarely have any CO2 buildup as the inherent ventilation of a home is far more than a school, office or other work space. ...

AC,

Using CO2 as a trigger for an HRV (or ERV) will not work as a reliable index of home air "staleness". Here is why . . .

The average adult at rest gives off about 200 ml of pure CO2 per...
