Biomimicry principles with ecological services
Nature as a template for innovation, progress and respect.
We tend the indoor microbial biosphere to counter the dispersion of microbes derived from the human presence within the building.
We counter a critical imperfection of existing HVAC technologies that only decrease the transfer of pollutants from the outside to the inside, but they have no effect on confining
Biospheric Air Treatment in four steps
Catch
Kill
Rebuild
Connect
With sustainability at its core, our technology has a clear social impact with a biodiverse indoor microbial environment that mimics the beneficial organisms of nature. Making an environmental impact where we realise a reduction in energy and real estate-associated costs.
Catch & Kill with Flow Gate technology
The Flow Gate is an additional security step for your HVAC. Employing a centralised particle removal technology to catch airborne particles with high efficiency and low-pressure drop.
We plasma coat the Flow Gate matrix with a natural product ensuring broad antiviral and -microbial properties.
Digital twin & dynamics modelling
The retrofitted Flow Gate is calibrated according to ISO 16890 norms with a 90% efficiency (1-100micron) and <50 Pa pressure drop
Sustainability gains of the Flow Gate technology
Eliminate the vulnerabilities of air recirculation and microbial contamination of the HVAC
Add-on & Retrofitted to your HVAC
Calculated to HVAC specifications we ensure a low-pressure drop, high energy efficiency of catching airborne particles
Save energy, reduce carbon your footprint.
Activate & optimise recirculation for the air handling unit and cut significantly on HVAC-related costs
Clean technology with no harm for people or planet.
No waste or added embodied carbon due to reusable technology and coating applications
Additional stop against airborne particle pollution
A broad anti-viral and microbial coating on the flow gate for a healthier environment and HVAC system
Rebuild with the microbial benefits of nature
We BioRemediate the air by dispersing our designed microbiome into the HVAC. We enrich the stale and conditioned air to mimic the benefits one would find on a forest walk.
Providing a more balanced and favourable microbial climate for people to thrive in, boosts immunity, health and productivity. We call this technology BioRemediation
TakeAir's designed Microbiome
Air ProBiome S1 is a designed microbiome for indoor air treatment with several cultures of organisms creating a more microbial-balanced indoor environment, and increasing exposure to biodiversity.
This designed microbiome has the following beneficial properties:
- Decontaminate air by removing toxic ammonia and VOC
- Established human probiotic
- Potential in lowering PM2.5 (made of ammonia salts)
- Inhibit pathogens on the principle of competitive exclusion.
- Stimulates the human immune system
The sustainability gains of BioRemediation technology
Most of us wouldn't drink polluted water, why breathe polluted air?
Deactivate humidification systems
Microbial enrichment provides benefits to overall humidity. Leveraging the opportunity to lower energy-costly humidification systems.
High quality work environment
A better indoor microbial quality improves workplace performance and user experience. With Biospheric Air Treatment we deliver a 30% increase in microbial quality.
High quality workplace experience
Increase employee attendance with fewer pathogens and fungi in the air. With Biospheric Air Treatment we lower the dominance of indoor pathogens by 20%
Inclusive technology with real social impact
Holistic and inclusive connection with nature for all by introducing beneficial organisms.
Connect & communicate your health commitment
Set your building apart in branding, communication, sustainable strategy and tenant attraction.
- Performance of the Biospheric Air Treatment in real-time.
- Performance of the HVAC system for biological and technical performance
- Inside and outside air quality
- A personalised message from you to your tenants
A safe environment and the well-being of people is the top priority.
