    I have a CO² sensor. When I sleep with the door shut, the CO² climbs up to and levels out at >1800 ppm.

    I have a noticable headache the following day when I do this. I’ve tested it for nine days and now I’ve got a doorstop which prevents me from closing the door completely by accident or with drafts

        That’s the most engineer ass answer I’ve ever seen.

        High Co2? Algae can solve that. How much… Well a vat should do, better make it two just in case.

        “Why yes, I do keep vats of algae in my bedroom why do you ask?”

        There was a video from a guy that tested that. It didn’t go as well as he hoped.

      That is wild.

      Well there’s another sensor to add to my wish list!

      Although, we have a lot of HVAC flow into the bedroom so maybe the difference wouldn’t be huge.

      Mine goes up to 2850 or so, even when I air out the room in the evening down to 430 or so.

      But luckily no headache for me. I can’t handle having the door open, I’m the last flatmate to get up in the morning.

        You would need hundreds of houseplants to offset a single human’s CO2/provide enough O2.

        I’m not anti house plants, they have benefits, but a single plant will not make a meaningful oxygen difference.
