Project Abstract

The effects of gas emissions on our environment are well documented. An important tool in emission management will be the availability of small, robust, cheap, and easy to deploy gas sensors. For example the HVAC industry needs such a CO2 sensor to cost effectively implement Ventilation on Demand (VOD) which promises to deliver up to a 30% reduction in building energy usage. The Automotive Industry wants to deploy low cost in-cabin CO2 sensors for improved comfort and safety (high CO2 levels cause driver drowsiness).We will publish in the trade press, and present at international conferences/shows, e.g. Sensors Expo.
