SMART CLEAN-AIR
INTERIOR SYSTEM

Airtight comfort. Clean air. Fresh-air ventilation.
Acoustic protection. Intelligent monitoring.

Rethinking indoor environmental comfort for polluted, dense and energy-conscious cities.

ENVIRONMENTAL REALITY

THE PROBLEM IS BIGGER THAN DIRTY AIR

Indoor air quality is governed by the continuous interaction between the exterior urban envelope and interior environmental dynamics.

OUTDOOR ENVIRONMENT

Fine Particulate Matter (PM2.5)

Dhaka annual average: 78.0 µg/m³ (15.6× the WHO guideline). Winter seasonal peaks regularly exceed 175 µg/m³.
Source: IQAir World Air Quality Report, 2024

Dense Vehicular Emissions

High concentration of unburned hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides (NOx), and black carbon from congested arterial traffic.

Urban Construction Dust

Coarse mineral dust and silica particles from rapid infrastructure development and unpaved secondary roads.

Severe Urban Heat 85%+ Relative Humidity 75-80 dBA Street Noise

INDOOR ENVIRONMENT

Uncontrolled Infiltration Gaps

Outdoor toxic particulate matter penetrates through window perimeters, unsealed doors, and construction joints, bypassing standalone purifiers.

Dangerous CO₂ Accumulation

Rooms sealed for split air-conditioning trap human respiration. In 2 hours, CO₂ levels often rise beyond 1,500–2,000 ppm, causing fatigue and cognitive decline.

Acoustic Intrusion

Thin window frames and unsealed door undercuts allow relentless honking and urban traffic noise to destroy sleep and recovery.

High AC Energy Penalty Trapped Latent Humidity Mold & VOC Stagnation

The Missing System Approach

CONVENTIONAL LIMITATION

A TRADITIONAL AIR PURIFIER

✓ Filters recirculated indoor air

BUT DOES NOT INHERENTLY SOLVE:

  • ✗ Uncontrolled outdoor particulate infiltration
  • ✗ Stale CO₂ accumulation (no fresh-air exchange)
  • ✗ Airtightness of the architectural envelope
  • ✗ Acoustic soundproofing and street noise isolation
  • ✗ Energy/moisture recovery and building integration
THE PARADIGM SHIFT

THE SYSTEM APPROACH

Instead of treating air purification, ventilation, envelope airtightness, and acoustic comfort as isolated consumer accessories, integrate them into a singular engineered building environmental system.

01

Airtight Building Envelope

Precision perimeter sealing to stop uncontrolled infiltration.

Target: Infiltration < 1.0 ACH50. Blower-door tested.

R&D Specification
FOUNDATIONAL GOVERNING LAW

SEAL THE ROOM,
BUT NEVER SEAL OUT
VENTILATION.

The more airtight an indoor space becomes, the more vital controlled fresh-air ventilation becomes. An airtight room without balanced ventilation becomes an oxygen-starved CO₂ chamber.

AIR LEAKAGE MAP

8 critical infiltration vectors where toxic outdoor particulate matter and street noise penetrate typical urban buildings.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Numbered indicators mark typical uncontrolled air infiltration paths into the room envelope
POINT 01

Window Frame Perimeter

Differential movement between masonry and window frame creates micro-gaps.

Mitigation: EPDM expanding foam tape + elastomeric acoustic sealant.

POINT 02

Door Frame & Jamb

Loose tolerances around wood or metal door frames allow draft and corridor noise.

Mitigation: Continuous bulb-style silicone compression gaskets.

POINT 03

Door Bottom Undercut

Standard 15-25mm clearance acts as an open air vector and acoustic megaphone.

Mitigation: Automatic concealed mechanical drop-down sweep seal.

POINT 04

Wall & Drywall Joints

Plaster shrinkage and perimeter wall-to-slab boundaries leak air over large areas.

Mitigation: Flexible non-hardening acoustic caulking at all slab junctions.

POINT 05

Electrical Outlet Boxes

Conduits penetrating exterior walls act as pressurized pneumatic straws for street dust.

Mitigation: Airtight back-boxes with internal elastomeric cable grommets.

POINT 06

Refrigerant & Pipe Holes

Oversized core-drilled penetrations around split AC copper piping and drain conduits.

Mitigation: Intumescent acoustic collar boots and dense mastic sealant.

POINT 07

Ventilation Backdrafts

Idle exhaust fans allow reverse contamination when outdoor wind pressure spikes.

Mitigation: Motorized airtight backdraft dampers with dual EPDM perimeter lips.

POINT 08

Floor & Ceiling Junctions

Structural settlement gaps between suspended ceilings, floors, and external walls.

Mitigation: Continuous vapor-permeable airtight membrane taped to concrete slab.

QUANTITATIVE TARGET: INFILTRATION < 1.0 ACH50 — TO BE VALIDATED BY BLOWER-DOOR TESTING
PHYSICS OF THE ENVELOPE

AIRTIGHTNESS & ACOUSTICS

Sealing the building envelope provides a dual barrier: preventing particulate bypass and attenuating harsh urban sound pressure.

PARTICULATE BARRIER

Airtight Envelope

Eliminating uncontrolled infiltration prevents outdoor PM2.5, carbon soot, and allergens from bypassing the mechanical filtration system.

OUTDOOR (PM2.5: 78+) INDOOR (Protected) Zero Bypass Flow
DECIBEL ATTENUATION

Acoustic Comfort

Compression sealing and mass-damped wall assemblies inherently dampen high-frequency street noise, honking, and urban drone.

NOISE (~75-80 dB) QUIET (<35 dB(A)) ~40 dB Reduction

Critical Engineering Nuance: Door and window sealing can contribute significantly to both air-leakage control and acoustic dampening. However, airtightness alone does not guarantee complete sound insulation — specialized mass, decoupling, and absorption are required for full acoustic isolation.

MECHANICAL INTEGRATION

FRESH AIR, CONTROLLED

Continuous balanced mechanical ventilation with multi-stage filtration and energy recovery.

DUAL-STREAM BALANCED AIRFLOW

Pre-Filter H13 HEPA ERV CORE OUTDOOR INLET (Polluted) INDOOR SUPPLY (Clean) INDOOR EXHAUST (Stale/CO₂) OUTDOOR DISCHARGE
Fresh air ≠ Uncontrolled open-window ventilation
Air purification ≠ Fresh-air ventilation

HRV / ERV TECHNOLOGY COMPARISON

Heat Recovery Ventilator (HRV)

Sensible Only

Transfers temperature (sensible heat) only between air streams. Best suited for cold, dry northern climates where interior moisture preservation is secondary.

Energy Recovery Ventilator (ERV)

Sensible + Latent

Transfers BOTH temperature AND moisture across a permeable enthalpy membrane. Pre-dries humid outdoor air before entering the room, significantly reducing the latent moisture load on air conditioners.

Dhaka Tropical Context: With summer relative humidity frequently exceeding 80–85%, an ERV is mathematically superior to an HRV because it prevents incoming fresh air from overwhelming the room with moisture.

HUMAN CENTRIC DESIGN

DESIGNED AROUND HUMAN COMFORT

Engineered indoor environmental control designed to support restorative rest, cognitive focus, and vulnerable cohorts.

Children

Children inhale more air per kilogram of body weight than adults. Mitigating indoor particulate exposure supports developing respiratory health.

Older Adults

Sustained thermal comfort, humidity stabilization (40-60% RH), and oxygen-rich air support cardiovascular and pulmonary wellbeing.

Respiratory Sensitivities

Continuous H13 HEPA filtration drastically reduces airborne dust mite frass, pollen, particulate matter, and mold spores for asthma relief.

Sleep & Cognitive Focus

Suppressing CO₂ levels below 600 ppm alongside acoustic isolation (<35 dBA) prevents micro-arousals and morning grogginess.

Important Compliance Notice: This system is designed to improve indoor environmental quality metrics. It is not a medical device and does not claim to prevent, diagnose, treat, or cure any medical condition.
