No more secret smoking - air-Q air measuring device creates transparency

Smoke-free rooms are a social need. Clandestine smoking reduces the value of real estate. In non-smoking hotel rooms, vacation apartments or schools, violating the smoking ban has financial consequences for new purchases. Air measuring devices such as the air-Q detect cigarette smoke and issue a warning in the event of a violation.

Smoke alarms provide transparent air quality & protect property value

Air quality and property value are closely linked. For many people, a healthy living environment is a decisive factor. This is why they consciously opt for a smoke-free environment. While this decision is easy to implement within your own four walls, in rented rooms such as hotel rooms or vacation apartments, all tenants or room users must comply with the smoking ban. 

The quality of the air in enclosed spaces is therefore not only of crucial importance for health, but also for the value of properties. This is because odors settle in textiles and furniture. Here they change the atmosphere of the room in the long term. A non-smoker can be disturbed by the smell of the room. Secret smoking therefore not only entails health risks, but can also have a considerable impact on the value of a property. After all, the smell remains in the room. Even intensive ventilation may not be able to restore the original state.

School applications: Preventing secret smoking in the school toilets

In educational institutions, the air that children and young people breathe should be as clean as possible. The Youth Protection Act also applies here. Young people test themselves and forbidden things. To do this, they look for hidden places such as the school toilet. To prevent secret smoking, a solution is needed that inconspicuously detects smoke particles and triggers a warning signal if necessary. This not only protects pupils' health, but also ensures a smoke-free learning environment.

Ensure smoke-free zones in hotel rooms

For many travelers, a smoke-free hotel room is a decisive criterion for booking. If you smoke in a smoke-free room, this can be noticeable for weeks afterwards. In the worst case, if the guest smoked very heavily, it may even be necessary to replace the furniture and textiles.

An air analysis enables hotels to offer their guests a healthy and unpolluted environment by continuously monitoring the air quality. Air measuring devices such as the air-Q react sensitively to cigarette smoke and enable hotel staff to intervene immediately in the event of non-compliance. In addition, the acoustic and visual alarms act as a deterrent to smokers. In this way, the quality of the room can be maintained and any damage caused can be documented. With the help of the recorded data of the measured values, hoteliers receive proof if hotel guests disregard the smoking ban in the room. If textiles and furniture have to be replaced due to secret smoking, you can pass on the costs to those responsible.

Protecting the property value of smoke-free vacation homes

Guests should feel at home in vacation apartments - and that includes clean air. The smell of cigarette smoke can be persistent and can become deeply embedded in wall paint, carpets and curtains. Potential tenants who care about a smoke-free environment may be put off by an intense smell of smoke. As a result, properties in smoke-polluted areas suffer a significant loss in value.

The air-Q air measuring device gives landlords the opportunity to monitor compliance with smoke-free rules. This allows them to ensure that their accommodation remains attractive to non-smokers.

Advantages of an alarm that detects cigarette smoke

The sensitive sensors of the air-Q air analyzer detect when cigarettes are lit and smoked. For this purpose, the air analyzer monitors relevant air components of cigarettes in the ambient air. If the measured values exceed particulatescarbon monoxide, volatile organic compounds and nitrogen dioxide exceed the stored limit values, the measuring device sets off an alarm: this is an acoustic and visual signal and can also be sent as a push message to a smartphone, so that you notice secret smoking even if you are not in the room or are even in a remote location.

The alarm can also be triggered by other activities that release these substances: e.g. lighting scented sticks and candles or incense burners. However, the combination of air pollutants is never good. Therefore, a false alarm always indicates air pollution.

Health protection 

Air measuring devices that detect cigarette smoke actively help to improve the air quality in enclosed spaces and thus protect the health of the people who spend time there.

Preventive measure

The early detection of cigarette smoke enables measures to be taken in good time to prevent a deterioration in air quality and a reduction in the value of the property. The integration of an air monitoring device not only offers residents active health protection, but can also help to maintain the value of the property.

Versatile application options & discreet monitoring

The air-Q air measuring device is not only suitable for private use, but is also used in public facilities, schools, hotels and vacation homes. The slim design of the air measuring device allows it to be integrated unobtrusively into various rooms without detracting from the aesthetic appearance.

Further alarms included

In addition to the alarm for secret smoking, the air measuring device offers further monitoring options and warns you if gas is leaking, acts as a smoke and fire detector and detects access. We present the smart alarm systems separately.

Conclusion: Focus on air quality & smoke-free properties as an investment

Do not underestimate the importance of a smoke-free environment for the value of your property. Air measuring devices such as the air-Q offer an efficient solution for detecting secret smoking and actively ensuring healthy indoor air. The air-Q air measuring device sends a strong signal for more transparency in closed rooms. Integration in schools, hotel rooms and vacation homes enables targeted monitoring and protects the health of the people who frequent these places.

The use of a smoke alarm makes a significant contribution to ensuring that secret smoking in your rooms soon becomes a thing of the past and smoke-free zones become the norm. Property owners who pay attention to the air quality in their premises are not only investing in their health, but also in the long-term value of their property.
