HVAC sensors are vital for ensuring indoor air quality is safe hence they need smooth and efficient running. Sensors can be deployed in various zones in the home to ensure comfort and minimize energy consumption. They measure a range of variables including temperature, humidity, Carbon Dioxide, indoor air quality (IAQ), and occupancy.
The HVAC sensors can be classified into the below categories.
Temperature sensors
Temperature sensors measure the temperature of the air and water and adjust the heating and air conditioning to raise or lower the air temperature based on the programmed setpoint thus preventing energy waste. One may also utilize the sensors' data to learn about the airflow and quality of a room. The sensor can be wired or wireless.
Humidity Sensors
Humidity sensors are devices that measure the humidity in the surroundings and turn the results into an electrical output. They are used to improve temperature monitoring capabilities in order to maximize comfort and fine-tune energy use.
Humidity sensors are classified into two types based on how they determine humidity: relative humidity (RH) sensors and absolute humidity (AH) sensors.
Pressure Sensors
Pressure transducers measure pressure drop across filters and other devices and monitor pressure levels within specific zones, efficiently alerting the system when maintenance and filter replacement are required. For optimal HVAC system functioning, accurate pressure measurement is critical.
Occupancy Sensors
Occupancy sensors are intelligent systems designed to identify the presence of humans in a given location, such as an office, a building floor, or even an entire building, in order to enable automated condition adjustment and a better occupants experience.
Room Sensors
Room Sensors detect motion and share data on occupancy activity patterns as well as temperature, humidity, and CO2 variations. This is crucial in maintaining an ecologically friendly environment that ensures occupants' comfort and safety while increasing output.
