                                                                              User Interface
                        Can the sensor display the CO2 level to occupants? If yes describe.
                        Yes - Display available through web, no account required
                      User Interface
                        Can the sensor display a visual indicator to occupants that the CO2 level has exceeded a programmed threshold? If yes, describe (what does the indicator look like, what the default thresholds are, and can the threshold be changed).
                        Yes - the web interface is completely customizable and accessible to occupants (no login required)
                      Reporting Capabilities
                        Can the sensor alert facilities (such as an email, text, or call phone application) when the CO2 level has exceeded a programmed threshold? If yes, describe (what does the indicator look like and can the threshold be changed).
                        Yes - The facilities dashboard can be used to configure alerts for elevated CO2 levels that are then sent by text or email
                      Reporting Capabilities, Integration Capabilities
