What Room Size Is the air-Q Suitable For?

Pollutants spread through a room at different speeds. The regulation for smoke detectors in effect in Germany specifies the following: to ensure a sufficiently fast response to emerging gases, one warning device / smoke detector / air sensor should be installed per 60 m² of room area (at a typical ceiling height of approx. 2.8–3.2 m). In L-shaped rooms, several measuring devices should be installed — one on each side.

However, for non-critical areas where air quality is monitored in general, the smoke detector regulations do not apply. Here, we recommend installing one air-Q per 60–140 m². If air-Qs are wall-mounted, 60 m² is preferable; if placed in the middle of the room, one air-Q every 140 m² is enough to get a sufficiently accurate picture of air quality.
