AI, IAQ and filtration redefining commercial HVAC

Air quality and energy efficiency are the talk of the hour as major cities in India face an Air Quality Index that is downright toxic and unbreathable. Clairco redefines IAQ for commercial spaces with AI-driven insights, advanced filtration, and sustainable practices.

The focus of most commercial buildings is evolving towards sustainability while prioritising indoor air quality (IAQ) and HVAC efficiency. Decision-makers quickly realise that the factors contribute to the health and productivity of occupants while also helping reduce operational costs. In this context, Clairco is in charge of IAQ solutions. Its innovative approach combines AI-driven insights with advanced filtration technology to boost HVAC performance, ensuring cleaner air, lower energy use, and sustainable practices. Clairco solutions ensure healthier environments, optimised HVAC performance, and reduced energy costs, aligning with sustainability goals.

Why indoor air quality matters

Numerous studies have conclusively stated that good IAQ directly impacts occupant health and productivity. Poor air quality undeniably contributes to respiratory issues, headaches, and fatigue, reducing overall productivity.

In addition to particulate matter, commercial environments contain harmful pollutants like volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and biological contaminants. The constant recirculation of air in these spaces, combined with inadequate filtration and ventilation, exacerbates these challenges.

Studies also reveal that better IAQ correlates with improved cognitive performance, reduced absenteeism, and higher employee satisfaction. Consequently, employers prioritising indoor air quality strategically invest in a healthier, more efficient workplace.

AI, ML, and predictive analytics role in HVAC efficiency

In enclosed spaces, HVAC systems have become the dominant factor in maintaining air quality and comfort indoors. To ensure optimal conditions in these spaces, these HVAC systems must evolve into Smarter units harnessing real-time data to optimise IAQ with the added benefit of efficient energy consumption.

Clairco’s AI and machine learning (ML) models provide the exact solution in these spaces. We leverage IAQ data to predict fresh air intake and filter replacement cycles, improving HVAC efficiency and occupant well-being. By fine-tuning fresh air flow and adjusting filter changes based on real-time conditions, Clairco’s AI minimises energy waste while maintaining a healthy environment.

Patented filtration technology

A core element of Clairco’s solution is its patented air filters, designed for exceptional air purification with minimal initial pressure drop. This design enables HVAC systems to operate more efficiently, resulting in lower energy consumption. The advanced filtration technology effectively captures pollutants without overburdening the HVAC system, reducing operational costs and maintenance frequency.

Clairco’s commitment to sustainability extends to the disposal of used filters. Old filters are responsibly processed, ensuring minimal environmental impact. This end-to-end sustainable approach supports green building initiatives and environmental goals.
