11. A method for initial calibration of an air-quality sensor device, the process comprising:
establishing at least a reference response to an environmental condition based on a response of at least one calibrated detector to the environmental condition;
establishing at least a sensor response to the environmental condition based on the response of at least one uncalibrated detector to the environmental condition;
developing, based on the established sensor response, at least a sensor response slope;
determining, based on the established reference response, the established sensor response, and the developed sensor response slope, at least a corrected response; and
returning the corrected response;
wherein returning the corrected response further comprises:
labeling the corrected response, and a corresponding sensor device, with features identifying the sensor device;
burning-in the sensor device with the labeled corrected response and identifying features; and
wherein burning-in the sensor device further comprises:
adjusting sensor reading values toward a median value by energizing the sensor device for a pre-determined time period; and
adjusting the median value toward an expected value by further energizing the sensor device for a second pre-determined time period.
