Hi Hans,
That is a very open question.
The CCS811 does require to be "burned-in". This means that after around 1 week of run time the sensor is more stable. However, the internal controller knows about this burn in period and compensates during the first week. Especially firmware version 2.0.0 is improved here. You seem to have the older firmware, so you could consider upgrading (see the flash example).
Also, be aware that the CCS811 is a so-called MOX sensor. This class of sensors has a chemical reaction with the gases (an oxidation/reduction). But not all gasses react with the sensors. Most "Volatile organic compounds" react. This is the TVOC reading. But the sensor is insensitive for CO2. The trick is that the CO2 reading assumes the sensor is inside a building (iAQ - indoor air quality), and that humans are the (only) producer of CO2. So the gas sensor measures VOCs, assumes they are from humans, maps that to the amount of humans, and then maps that to the CO2 they would produce. But it can never be as accurate as a real CO2 sensor.
Also, the ccs811 is a relative sensor (that is the downside of such a cheap and small device). It senses of the air goes bad or improves; bit it will not give you an absolute value.

Hi Maarten,
Thanks for your fast and clear answer! Not sure if the Netatmo Module data is correct but it is my only reference although they allways show high values. I'll let the sensor burn in for a week or so and maybe do the upgrade thereafter.
Best regards, Hans.
