I'm looking to compile an outdoor weather station for a local project, and we'd like to add local outdoor CO2 information to our data.

Hello lovely Green Gurus. Hope you all are well. I am wondering if anyone has installed an indoor sports floor that performed well and is low-emitting. This is for a multi-purpose gymnasium at a community center. Any chance? Thanks All!
