It’s not justabout cleaning...
While cleaning has never been more
important, we believe effective cleaning ismore than ‘just’ the removal of soil. It means
ensuring the health and safety of people,
while making the job easier, simpler, more
efficient and even fun. It means consistent
results all over the world, while protecting
the world.
Did you know that indoor air quality canbe up to 5-10 times worse than outdoor
air quality? Not something to take lightly,
considering that we spend an average of
90% of our time indoors. The rooms where
we work, cook, clean, shower, and sleep,
are possible points of origin for thespread of contaminants.

...It’s about happy& healthy people
Our indoor environment is influenced byseveral factors. On the one hand, there
are invisible threats in the air that directly
impact the air quality and our health (e.g.
dust, chemicals and CO₂). On the other
hand, there are factors that make or breakthe conditions for such threats (humidityand temperature).
To create a healthy, comfortable indoor
environment, we need to optimize the indoor
conditions. But to be able to do so, we needto make the invisible visible. With i-sense
you can instantly measure temperature,humidity and indoor air-quality.

About humidity
and temperature
A balancing act
We all like to be in a room with a comfortable temperatureand humidity level. But temperature and humidity influence
more than only our comfort. It influences our health. Moreover,

We inhale about 11.000 liter of indoor air per day andthe right balance between indoor temperature and outdoor

contamination.

actually is. Indoors, we’re exposed to hundreds ofdifferent air contaminants in three categories:

VOCs (Volatile OrganicCompounds)
The VOC levels are often
influenced by our day-to-day
activities. They can rise for
instance from harmless sources,
such as the smell of coffee orperfume. But there can also be
harmful gasses in the air, suchas; paints, cleaning detergents,building materials, cosmetic
products and pesticides.

6PM (Particulate matter)
Particulate matter is a mixture ofsolid and liquid particles, which
includes dust, dirt, soot, smoke,and drops of liquid. Generalsources of particulate matter
pollutants are heavy industrial
pollution and vehicle exhaust
fumes.

CO₂ (Carbon Dioxide)
When we exhale, we breatheout mostly carbon dioxide. Often
when CO₂ levels rise there are(too) many people in a room,
which facilitates the spread ofbacteria and viruses. When CO₂
numbers get too high this canalso result in fatigue, dizzinessand headaches.

Humidity
Too much or too little indoor
humidity both lead to breathingdifficulties. When humidity is
too high, the growth of mold,fungus and dust increases. Whenhumidity is too low, people’s skincan get itchy and it often leads tocoughing and soar throats.

Temperature
When the indoor temperature is
too high or too low, people will
get uncomfortable or even sick.
The ideal day temperature lies
somewhere between the 20°C
and 24°C, depending on personal
preferences.

Microbiological contamination
These are mainly bacteria, viruses and moulds. Sources
are numerous; waste containers, pets, kitchens, hazardous
microbes in hospitals and many, many more. Whentemperature and humidity in a room rise, so does thespread of microbiological contamination.

Clean the air
i-air PROIt’s clear that we need to breathe clean and healthy air to improve our living
conditions and health. That’s why we designed the i-air PRO: a high capacity
air healer that improves indoor air quality in medium to large spaces of up to500m .
2i-air PRO filters out solid contaminants, breaking down all VOCs andneutralising all living harmful microbes - including viruses.

Future proof
Measure thedifference
Want to discover the benefits of i-air
PRO or other air improvement systems,
such as ventilation, (de)humidifiers or
air conditioning? Measure the indoor
air quality with i-sense for one week
before you install the i-air PRO or othersystems. Then measure the indoor air
quality again for a week while the i-air
PRO or other systems are in place andcompare the results. Make adjustments
if necessary and repeat. This way
you can monitor the effects of yourchosen solutions and discover if extra
measurements are needed.

The i-air PRO is the only stand-alone unit on the market that delivers
MERV19 class air to medium to large spaces. Minimum Efficiency Reporting
Value (MERV) is an assigned rating according to the ability to filter out
large particles. MERV19 means that even the smallest particles (≥0,2μ) of
bacteria, viruses and other micro-organisms are filtered.

Knowledge is power
Stay on top of things
By checking the i-sense regularly, you can precisely monitor theconditions of the indoor environment in a certain space. You know
in one glance what the temperature and humidity is. The air quality
is clearly indicated on the i-sense with icons that change colour
based on the current situation.
