Offices often recycle air and don’t have working windows, therefore when an office is full of workers, the CO2 levels rise extremely quickly, leading to drowsiness, poor decision making and low productivity.

The Airthings HBS Wave Plus device samples air every 5 minutes. In order to save battery, the device sleeps for 5 minutes and wakes up again to send a sample package to the HBS Hub. What is the battery life of an HBS Wave Plus device? 2 x AA Lithium batteries provide an estimated 2 year battery life for the HBS Wave Plus. Can I use the data in other systems? Yes. The Airthings REST API or Webhook offers a secure and straightforward method for pulling sensor and device information into your own system. [ Learn more about the Airthings API ](https://www.airthings.com/business/api) Can I integrate the Airthings data to my existing BAS or BMS? Yes. The Airthings API contains all commands and information needed to pull sensor and device information into your existing BI solution or as an input into your BAS or BMS. Can I generate a report to share measurement data and analysis with parents and teachers at the school? Yes. The Airthings Pro Dashboard contains an IAQ reporting feature, allowing you to export to PDF and share your IAQ data in a professional, yet easy to understand method. Do the sensors have to be calibrated? No, Airthings sensors are factory calibrated and self-calibrate during use. The drift is within our stated measurement margin of error. What is the range of the Hub and the Wave Plus? The range depends on the building, but we use low frequency radio which has a very long range and can penetrate thick walls. As a guide, a Hub’s range can reach 1-2 floors up and down, and go through roughly 10 light non-load bearing walls per floor. Do I need an electrician or a building automation engineer to install? No. The Airthings Healthy Building Solution is specifically designed to be a plug and play, wireless, battery operated solution. Magnetic mounting brackets and screws or 3M Command Strips make installation effortless.
