The fabric first approach of Part L Building Regulations greatly improves insulation in new homes, reducing air loss from doors and windows, leading to more energy efficient buildings. Airtight homes can reduce indoor air quality and increase carbon dioxide levels which may cause headaches, dizziness and fatigue.
GL has introduced a new carbon dioxide monitor and alarm to its safety alarms product range. The recessed, sleek alarm is a suitable addition to include when improving insulation as it monitors indoor air quality and carbon dioxide levels. The LED display shows the current carbon dioxide level in parts per million (PPM) through a traffic light system, indicating the need for increased ventilation if required.
The compact design (86 x 86 x 45.3mm) is recessed, discreet, connects to mains power and has three alert modes; a clear LED display, buzzer, or both.
One alarm per new home is recommended and GL’s Carbon Dioxide Alarm meets Scottish building regulations.
