The Bouwhuis in Zoetermeer — home to FME and dozens of other industry organisations — is becoming a large-scale living lab for healthy indoor climate. Cobra Climate is proud to be part of it as a technology partner, providing the sensor infrastructure that makes continuous indoor climate monitoring possible across the building.
Cobra Climate offers a professional-grade CO₂ monitoring system that turns building air quality data into actionable insight. With accurate sensors, plug-and-play installation, and proven ROI through HVAC cost savings and productivity gains, it outperforms consumer alternatives.
What Every Building Owner and Facility Manager Needs to Know. From January 1, 2026, Building Automation and Control Systems (BACS) are mandatory for utility buildings with heating or cooling systems of 290 kW or higher. This isn't a future directive—the deadline is now. If you haven't yet taken action, it's time to understand exactly what's expected of you and how to approach this strategically.
Tens of thousands of rented properties are plagued by damp and mould. The problem is widespread, yet solutions are lagging behind — but the cause is more often technical than human. Measurement is the first step towards a structural solution.
Cobra Climate's journey from building custom PCs in 1985 to creating purpose-built CO2 sensors. Frustrated by the limitations of existing climate meters, we leveraged our hardware expertise to build sensors that transmit real-time data to the cloud, filling a critical gap in the indoor climate monitoring market.
While sensors traditionally featured LCD displays or indicator lights, Cobra Climate sensors deliberately omit these. Displays can lead to misinterpretation, aesthetic concerns, and aren't necessary when modern push notifications provide more targeted, timely alerts to the right people.
CO2 sensors need calibration to deliver accurate measurements. Auto Baseline Correction (ABC) is a common automated solution, but it has limitations in poorly ventilated environments. Cobra sensors offer a more flexible alternative with Intelligent Baseline Calibration (IBC).
The challenge at LAB was to make sustainable mobility measurable and to change behaviour. As a solution, we deployed a combination of web, wireless, and IoT technologies in collaboration with the Province of Flevoland to engage visitors and measure success. This makes LAB the first industrial park in Europe with the means to measure, predict, and influence.
Swart wants to provide its employees with the healthiest possible office environment. Following complaints about ventilation, we installed Cobra Climate sensors that continuously measure air quality, combined with the Cobra Climate Dashboard.
As a LEEF! client, you are never alone. Our vision is that people can improve the quality of their own lives, provided they receive sufficient and proper support. LEEF! is innovative, professional, customer-oriented, and full of passion and enthusiasm.
CityLab Almere uses Cobra Climate sensors to monitor air quality, temperature and energy use across the Green Innovation Hub. Real-time CO₂ data ensures visitors and staff work in a healthy environment while demonstrating concrete sustainability measures.
Juniper has an extensive programme to keep employees healthy and compliant with all standards during the Covid period. Following our partnership, a project was initiated to install Cobra Climate sensors in order to provide insight into indoor air quality.
Understanding CO2 measurements, calibration challenges, and how Intelligent Baseline Calibration (IBC) provides a smarter solution than traditional Auto Baseline Correction (ABC).
A good ventilation system is essential for maintaining air quality and reducing virus spread. Learn how continuous CO2 monitoring provides a smarter, more cost-effective approach than expensive ventilation system upgrades.
Exploring the relationship between CO2 levels, ventilation quality, and COVID-19 infections. While research suggests a connection between poor ventilation and virus transmission, we approach claims cautiously, relying on scientific studies rather than assumptions.
German researchers found that indoor concerts pose a low COVID-19 transmission risk when adequate ventilation, hygiene protocols, and limited capacity are maintained. The study offers hope for safely resuming live events, though some experts call for more detailed modeling information.
Due to recently tightened measures, it has become mandatory to leave your contact details when visiting a hospitality venue. To avoid collecting customer contact details in a cumbersome (and non-Covid-proof) way, there are fortunately simple digital alternatives.
On behalf of Sweco and together with partners Appedemic and TNO, a new concept was developed to help people feel comfortable inside buildings. Based on second-generation Cobra Climate sensors. Launched at Provada.
