Conference Room CO2 Buildup and Cognitive Performance Decline — household safety profile
Moderate riskConference rooms are the worst IAQ spaces in most office buildings.
What is this product?
Conference rooms are the worst IAQ spaces in most office buildings. High occupancy density (10-20 people in 200-400 sq ft) with often inadequate ventilation creates rapid CO2 buildup: levels reach 2,000-5,000 ppm within 30-60 minutes in many conference rooms (outdoor baseline: 420 ppm). Harvard COGFX study: cognitive function scores declined 50% at 1,400 ppm CO2. The 'afternoon meeting drowsiness' is often CO2-induced cognitive impairment, not boredom. ASHRAE 62.1: conference rooms require 30+ CFM/person — but many are designed for lower occupancy than actual use. Demand-controlled ventilation (DCV) with CO2 sensors: best solution but rarely installed in conference rooms. Simplest fix: open the door during meetings.
