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.
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.
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.
The Missing System Approach
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 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.

Airtight Building Envelope
Precision perimeter sealing to stop uncontrolled infiltration.
Target: Infiltration < 1.0 ACH50. Blower-door tested.
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.

INDOOR ENVIRONMENT
AIR LEAKAGE MAP
8 critical infiltration vectors where toxic outdoor particulate matter and street noise penetrate typical urban buildings.
Window Frame Perimeter
Differential movement between masonry and window frame creates micro-gaps.
Mitigation: EPDM expanding foam tape + elastomeric acoustic sealant.
Door Frame & Jamb
Loose tolerances around wood or metal door frames allow draft and corridor noise.
Mitigation: Continuous bulb-style silicone compression gaskets.
Door Bottom Undercut
Standard 15-25mm clearance acts as an open air vector and acoustic megaphone.
Mitigation: Automatic concealed mechanical drop-down sweep seal.
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.
Electrical Outlet Boxes
Conduits penetrating exterior walls act as pressurized pneumatic straws for street dust.
Mitigation: Airtight back-boxes with internal elastomeric cable grommets.
Refrigerant & Pipe Holes
Oversized core-drilled penetrations around split AC copper piping and drain conduits.
Mitigation: Intumescent acoustic collar boots and dense mastic sealant.
Ventilation Backdrafts
Idle exhaust fans allow reverse contamination when outdoor wind pressure spikes.
Mitigation: Motorized airtight backdraft dampers with dual EPDM perimeter lips.
Floor & Ceiling Junctions
Structural settlement gaps between suspended ceilings, floors, and external walls.
Mitigation: Continuous vapor-permeable airtight membrane taped to concrete slab.
AIRTIGHTNESS & ACOUSTICS
Sealing the building envelope provides a dual barrier: preventing particulate bypass and attenuating harsh urban sound pressure.
Airtight Envelope
Eliminating uncontrolled infiltration prevents outdoor PM2.5, carbon soot, and allergens from bypassing the mechanical filtration system.
Acoustic Comfort
Compression sealing and mass-damped wall assemblies inherently dampen high-frequency street noise, honking, and urban drone.
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.
FRESH AIR, CONTROLLED
Continuous balanced mechanical ventilation with multi-stage filtration and energy recovery.
DUAL-STREAM BALANCED AIRFLOW
HRV / ERV TECHNOLOGY COMPARISON
Heat Recovery Ventilator (HRV)
Sensible OnlyTransfers 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 + LatentTransfers 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.
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.
