Window Treatments OKTOair provides the ultimate end-to- end solution for Window Treatments. They supply and install motorised curtain tracks, roller, roman and venetian blinds complete with bespoke soft furnishings fully integrated with the lighting and Building Control Systems for assured quality and complete reliability. Workers exposed to natural light tend to feel more motivated to exercise and get more sleep, based on studies. Linking the Window Treatment control to the BMS to reduce solar gain and to the OKTOair Human Centric Lighting systems will automatically optimise the light available in the building. Touchless Control Touch-free technology - buildings where you don’t need to touch anything, are now entirely feasible. Using Artificial Intelligence, OKTO’s Touchless Technology provides seamless, touchless access and control so staff members can travel through the building safely and securely without needing to touch any surfaces. Doors will open using facial recognition and near-field technology linked to mobile devices. Automatic lift management and voice control will take occupants to their desired floor without touching a button. Combining voice, mobile device and facial recognition will provide layered authentication to ensure the safest, most secure environment. While OKTO has been synonymous with designing simple, intuitive controls
“There has been a definite shift in air filtration from just heating and cooling to a focus on ‘Indoor Air Quality’ and systems that include cleaning and monitoring of the air,” said Philip. “When you consider that we spend 90% of our time indoors being exposed to air which is typically five times more polluted than outdoors, it is absolutely vital to consider the impacts on our health and how we can improve it. In the midst of going back to the workplace, schools or the most densely populated and polluted city centres, where floor space is at a premium, our solutions offer optimum control, comfort, health, wellbeing and, ultimately, peace of mind.” Human Centric Lighting OKTOair’s Human Centric Lighting can help to regulate the body’s circadian rhythm or 24-hour internal body clock which affects important biological functions such as sleep, hormone levels, body temperature and metabolism – regulating sleep patterns and enhancing mood. Controlled lighting scenes based on the context and the time of day to differentiate between a warm, bright summer’s evening and a cold wet winter’s night use natural lighting effects to match the colour temperature of external light. This sets lighting scenes in real time. Good light quality increases the body’s feeling of wellbeing, wakefulness and energy – an unseen but essential aspect of providing a calm office environment with increased productivity.
and user interfaces, COVID has brought touchless technologies to the fore. OKTO’s AI processor integrated with your existing Building Management System and controlled by the OKTOair app will provide a completely touch-free experience. Social Distancing Management As organisations prepare for employees to return to work, this new normal calls for an effective solution to manage how the workspace is used and by whom. With OKTOair, you can easily optimise your workspace and make the office flexible to changing needs. We do it by sensing and processing your building occupancy data and providing the insights and reports you require to keep your staff and occupiers safe. Water Filtration OKTOair’s Water Filtration removes limescale, pollutants, organic contaminants and cleaning additives such as chlorine from the water in a property meaning staff/customers can drink pure clean water from the tap. Filtered water is far more cost effective than bottled water and also help’s towards reducing the environmental impact. ‘Workplace wellness’ as a concept in offices, commercial premises, schools, hotels and hospitality businesses is growing in importance and value.
