Monitor Rooms or Zones for Air Quality with a HOBO CO2 Data Logger
The HOBO MX1102A logger makes it more convenient than ever to measure and record CO2 levels in buildings and other non-condensing environments.
Equipped with a self-calibrating sensor, it measures 0–5,000 ppm, and you can access the data right from your phone, tablet, or Windows computer using the HOBOconnect app. A USB port lets you directly connect a computer running HOBOware® graphing and analysis software for more robust data analysis.

How Indoor CO2 Monitoring Supports Ventilation Assessment
Because people exhale CO2, indoor concentrations often change with occupancy and outdoor-air ventilation. Monitoring CO2 over time can help building professionals evaluate ventilation patterns that individual spot readings may miss.
- Compare conditions during occupied and unoccupied periods
- Evaluate differences between individual rooms or zones
- Relate CO2 trends to occupancy and HVAC schedules
- Document conditions before and after ventilation or operational changes
- Interpret results in the context of outdoor CO2, room use, sensor location, calibration, temperature, and relative humidity
CO2 Monitoring FAQs
Indoor CO2 monitoring can help you understand how occupant-generated CO2 changes over time and how those patterns relate to occupancy and outdoor-air ventilation. Trends across occupied and unoccupied periods are generally more informative than one isolated reading. CO2 does not represent every indoor pollutant, so interpret it alongside the space type, occupancy, HVAC operation, temperature, relative humidity, and other relevant measurements.
Place the logger in a representative occupied area, ideally near the typical breathing-zone height of approximately three to six feet above the floor, where air can move freely around the sensor. Avoid locations immediately next to localized sources or conditions that could distort the measurements. Because the best location depends on the room, airflow, and monitoring objective, document logger placement and use consistent locations when comparing data.
The MX1102A records CO2, temperature, and relative humidity at a configurable logging interval. Download data locally over Bluetooth using the HOBOconnect app or connect the logger by USB and use HOBOware. For automated remote access, pair compatible loggers with an MX Gateway, an MX Data Plan, and LI-COR Cloud.
The MX1102A supports automatic and manual CO2 calibration. The product manual strongly recommends performing a manual calibration before deployment because the sensor can experience measurement drift during storage and shipment. Enter the deployment altitude when configuring the logger so altitude compensation can be applied for the best possible CO2 accuracy.
