HEALTHY BUILDINGS
IN A WORLD NOW SHAPED BY A GLOBAL, AIRBORNE PANDEMIC, M&E SPECIALISTS CAN MEET THE GROWING DEMAND FOR THE PUREST INDOOR AIR QUALITY WITH OKTOAIR SYSTEMS… The times they are a-changin’
O KTO is behind the smartest, healthiest buildings on the planet. The innovative Irish company focuses on pioneering technologies including wellness - and, in particular, indoor air quality management. Philip Dowds, Director of OKTO, said, “Sadly, it took a global pandemic for the entire world to realise what we breathe in, what we touch and how we gather indoors matters. “OKTO believes our homes, offices, schools, workplaces and all indoor spaces should be a haven of wellbeing. That’s why our OKTOair systems have been developed to offer confidence and
reassurance that our families, employees and customers are breathing in the safest, cleanest, best quality air.” WHAT IT DOES OKTOair’s system is the most advanced air cleaning system in the world. It measures and records indoor air quality which includes ultra-fine particulate matter or pollution. It feeds the information into an artificial intelligence engine, deciding on how best to deal with cleaning and purifying the air. Then using HEPA filtration with advanced DFS technology, it cleans it to a level that far exceeds the European Standard EN 1822, (HEPA Test) - totally chemical and ozone free. When cleaning the air, other purifying systems can include technologies which are adding to the environment such as plasma, bipolar and ozone generation. These systems, while killing bacteria, are also a further pollution source into the space to react with microorganisms. OKTOair is different. Powered by
HealthWay technology, it permanently removes the ultra-fine particles from the space and deactivates the microorganisms in our filter. This is the most efficient, safest and cleanest air quality improvement system currently available. OKTOair’s technology also takes on several factors, such as the number of people in the spaces, whether the outside air is of high quality or polluted, if there’s a significant temperature differential, and, of course, the time of day. It even considers whether fan noise would cause annoyance. The information is provided to your client via the OKTOair app or a standard automation system. WELLNESS CERTIFIED “We are currently working on what will be the first residential scheme in the UK to achieve WELL Certification,” said Philip. “And as far as sustainability is concerned, it’s worth mentioning a project we are currently working on for a commercial client. “By installing our air cleaning system - the
