An indoor air quality monitoring device: Lum’Air Tube® from Cairpol. Designed by the Centre de Recherche et Innovation d'Environnement S.A and CSTB, this unit measures CO2, temperature and relative humidity. It calculates the air containment in spaces and facilitates ventilation management thanks to light-emitting diodes. Class'Air+, developed by Pyrescom in partnership with the CSTB, functions on the same principles.
