CO2 monitoring in Colorado Springs

CO2 monitoring in Colorado Springs is checked against the 2021 International Fire Code, which the city adopted with local amendments in Ordinance 23-14, in force since June 30, 2023. We specify, install and service the sensors, alarms and shutoffs a bar cellar, restaurant or grow room needs, with installs and service run from our Denver depot.

A CO2 monitoring system in Colorado Springs that meets Section 5307

Section 5307 of the 2021 code covers CO2 systems. Indoor CO2 storage needs ventilation or gas detection. Enrichment systems over 100 pounds need sensors within 12 inches of the floor, a 5,000 ppm low alarm, a 30,000 ppm high alarm and an automatic stop to the supply.

A CO2 monitoring system in Colorado Springs that an inspector signs off is therefore a sensor, an alarm and a shutoff wired together, not a box on the wall. We leave documentation showing what is installed and at what thresholds.

Life safety

Commercial CO2 detector or household CO alarm

A large share of local searches for a CO2 detector in Colorado Springs are really for carbon monoxide alarms. A commercial CO2 detector in Colorado Springs is a different instrument: it reads carbon dioxide in parts per million, has a different duty cycle and drives a shutoff.

A CO2 leak detector in Colorado Springs has to fail safe, so a dead sensor reads as a fault rather than all-clear. Every CO2 sensor in Colorado Springs drifts with age and is replaced on a maintenance schedule rather than when it stops responding.

The CO2 monitor and CO2 alarm we install

For a CO2 monitor in Colorado Springs bars and grow rooms we install the LogiCO2 MK9, which shuts off the supply at 5,000 ppm and drives strobe and horn outputs, so the CO2 alarm in Colorado Springs rooms is visible as well as audible. A central unit links up to 12 sensors for a site with several rooms.

  • Sensors at floor level, placed by site survey
  • Life-safety shutoff at 5,000 ppm
  • Strobe and horn outputs
  • Servicing and replacement run from the Denver depot

Grow rooms and bars on the same standard

Colorado Springs sites range from downtown bar cellars to indoor grow rooms. The code treats them differently: an enrichment system holding more than 100 pounds of CO2 carries its own detection, alarm and shutoff requirements, while a bar's CO2 storage falls under the general rule of ventilation or gas detection. In practice both get the same approach from us, sensors low where the gas settles and an alarm that cannot be missed.

For a grow room, the enrichment controller and the life-safety system are specified together so they do not fight each other: the grow CO2 controller holds the room between roughly 700 and 2,000 ppm, and the safety system sits well above that range.

Servicing sensors from Denver

Sensors drift and wear out, so a monitoring system is only as good as its maintenance. Ours are serviced by our own technicians from the Denver depot, about 74 road miles away, on a schedule rather than when something stops working. Planned maintenance suits the distance far better than waiting for a fault.

Common questions

The city adopted the 2021 International Fire Code with amendments in Ordinance 23-14, effective June 30, 2023. Confirm with the Colorado Springs Fire Department for your project, since codes are updated over time.

Usually more of it. Enrichment systems over 100 pounds have their own detection and shutoff requirements in Section 5307.
