The Ventilation Light

The Ventilation Light is a device, which provides information about the state and quality of the indoor air and the necessity to ventilate. It was developed and tested within the framework of a research project and funded by the Federal Ministry of Economy and the Bremer Energiekonsens GmbH. The research project was carried out in cooperation with the bremer energie institiut (Bremen Energy Institute) and the Bremer Umweltinstitut (Bremen Environmental Institute).

The Ventilation Light

saves energy and helps prevent humidity damages in the building.
guarantees the hygiene and indoor air quality
prevents conflicts between tenants and landlords
is inexpensive and can be employed throughout the housing sector
does not require any installation and can be readily utilized by the user.
is scientifically tested

It makes the following notifications

open window
close window

Considering measurements and criteria for

indoor air quality
humidity
temperature

Functions of the Ventilation Light (Model 1)

LUQAS and HT Sensors for easier reproduction reliability
up to 6 week data record (under a 1 minute measurement interval) , separate reports for each sensor, communication with the server
evaluation of the sensor signals according to scientific standards

Experience

one´s own nose cannot be fully substituted, as detecting odors is not in the competence of the sensors
LUQAS signals cannot be interpreted as definite
the humidity and the humidity flows are the key variables
the change of a signal is usually more important than the absolute value
