2. Guest Profile
30% of all guests suffer from allergies
83% of guests would prefer to stay in rooms offering
treated air, free of airborne allergens
59% of guests would choose a hotel offering ‘low
allergen’ rooms as opposed to a hotel that doesn’t
58% of guests would be happy to pay a small
premium to stay in ‘low allergen’ rooms

3. Indoor Air Quality
Indoor air quality can be up to 100 times worse than outdoor air
because of the lack of airflow (Source: US EPA)
We spend more than 90% of our time indoors
Coughs, colds, sneezing, watery eyes and nasal congestion are commonly caused
by airborne allergens – sufferers are usually entirely unaware that these are
allergies
The majority of breathing-related problems are preventable by destroying non-
visible contaminants and micro-organisms in indoor air

4. Indoor Air Quality – U.A.E.
Common pollutants in the U.A.E.:
Dust Mite Allergens
Mould & Fungal Spores
Other Allergens such as Cockroaches and pet dander
Dust – Particulate Matter
Smoke
Other factors:
 HVAC system
 High rise buildings
 Age of building
 Socio-economic group
 Urbanisation and ‘greenification’

6. Current Health Facts
Indoor and outdoor air pollution accounts for 1 in 10 deaths
(WHO)
Asthma & breathing allergies affect more than 30% of the global
population, and is increasing (according to the World Health Organisation)
Residents of the Gulf suffer a disproportionately higher rate of
breathing allergies and asthma with a financial cost of $4.5Bn
Allergies to affect 1 in 4 people in the MENA region by 2050
70% increase in allergy sufferers forecast (MEAAIC Dubai, 2009)
According to research by the UAE University (1994), School Children
between 6 and 14 years old have a high prevalence of diagnosed
asthma (13.9%), allergic rhinitis (22.9%), breathlessness or tightness in
the chest (9.7%) and nocturnal coughing (8.9%), which increases with age
Latest UAE research (2009) says 40% of children and one third of
adults in the UAE suffer from Allergic Rhinitis – the cause is increase in
greenery

“Numbers are definitely going up...studies show it [Allergic
rhinitis] can be as damaging to a person’s quality of life as
diabetes or high cholesterol” – Dr Bassam on allergies in the
UAE

8. HVAC Ducts
In our climate, HVAC ducts
need regular cleaning and
maintenance; it is awkward and
difficult to clean them effectively
The contents of HVAC ducts
have a huge effect on the
quality of indoor air –
“Contaminated ventilation
systems are a key cause of
poor IAQ”

9. Legionella
Legionella bacteria grows in water and is
transmitted to humans via airborne droplets.
Legionella grows in water at 20-50ºC
It is particularly common in buildings with vast
central air conditioning systems and in cooling
towers
Buildings such as hotels and hospitals are
particularly vulnerable given their scope
In warm climates with moderate to high
humidity, where there is dependence on central
air conditioning, as well as the lack of stringent
maintenance standards, the conditions are ripe
for legionella to thrive. One tiny flaw in ductwork
or cooling towers can expose water to the
outdoor temperatures.
Legionella is destroyed at 70-80ºC, Airfree
sterilises airborne bacteria at 200ºC, and is a
key measure at the stage of infection to
humans. Legionella scare, Dubai, Feb. 2009

10. The Solution:
Airfree®

11. Heat sterilisation: ‘Boiling the
air’
Non toxic, non-invasive, and
non-controversial technology
No Chemicals, Ions, nor Ozone
Natural
Just like your grandmother used
to do with water, Airfree ®
‘boils’
the air, destroying all micro-
organisms

12. Our Patented Technology
Airfree®
uses a
unique, patented
heat sterilisation
technology to
destroy micro-
organisms rather
than collecting them
as with conventional
air purifiers
The ceramic core
incinerates at 400F
and protects against
deadly airborne
viruses like Avian
Flu and SARS
As a result of
incineration there
are no harmful
emissions nor
maintence issues
Airfree
®
is non-toxic, non-invasive, and non-
controversial technology

13. Where to install?
All Guest bedrooms and Suites
Meeting rooms:
Smoking areas: Designated Smoking areas, F&B outlets,
Banqueting
Public Areas: Lobby, Reception, Executive offices
“Hotspots” for micro organism proliferation i.e. areas
with high relative humidity & “trouble spots” such as Spa,
Gym and Salon
Back-of-House Areas: chillers, produce & flower stores
for prolonged shelf life (Airfree commercial units)

Airfree®
improves
Indoor Air Quality for a
better quality of life:
Better Health
Better Sleep – even
helps stop snoring!
Improved Productivity
Improved Comfort
Reduce unnecessary
illness
Reduction in asthma
attacks & allergy
outbreaks

23. IAQ and Productivity
Research shows that improved
IAQ results in improved
productivity in a working
environment , with a 4 month
payback period in hot
climates.
The same productivity benefits
from IAQ measures also apply
to schools and universities –
resulting in up to 35%
improvement in reading,
comprehension and mental
arithmetic Research from:
International Centre for Indoor Environment
& Energy, Technical University of Denmark

24. Additional benefits
Airfree ®
is used around the world in museums, libraries, temples and
galleries as a vital preservation tool for valuable collections of artwork,
artifacts and pieces on display as it removes micro-biological agents
which damage important works over time
In the same way, Airfree®
also prolongs soft furnishings & carpet life
Airfree ®
is also effective at removing organic odours without the need
for artificial air fresheners which merely mask the smell e.g. tobacco
smoke, body odour, mustiness, etc.

25. Additional benefits
Airfree ®
technology safely improves Indoor Air
Quality at the stage of final consumption of
the air: in-room, and destroys micro-biological
contaminants which are worsened by an
enclosed, air conditioned environment, with
little or no ventilation
The New England Journal of Medicine, Jan
2009, reports that a reduction in fine
particulate air pollution has led to “significant
and measurable” improvements in life
expectancy in the US – as much as 15%
increase in life expectancy! This size of
particles is removed by Airfree®

26. Under Estidama specifications, Indoor Environment Quality
comprises 15% of the overall score
Under LEED specifications, Indoor Environment Quality
comprises 23% of the overall score. It has been confirmed by
USGBC member Waterman International (Dubai), that Airfree®
would qualify under multiple areas of the Indoor Environment
Quality specs, in addition to Innovation criteria.
Under the new Dubai Municipality Green Building
Regulations, up to 1/3rd
of the 79 points are related to
IAQ. Dubai’s Green Building Regulations are also unique
in their focus on the health of occupants.

“Green” Credentials
"the problem stems from poor HVAC design,
over sizing of cooling loads, the over estimation
of the sensible heat in the rooms and the lack of
treated fresh air supply to the room. This is
further compounded by setting the thermostat
too cold in the rooms” – Mario Seneviratne,
MD, Green Technologies FZCO

50. “A paradigm shift from rather mediocre to excellent indoor
environments is foreseen in the 21st
century.
Based on existing information and new research results, five principals are
suggested as elements behind a new philosophy of excellence:
(1)Better IAQ increases productivity and decreases Sick Building Syndrome
symptoms;
(2)Unnecessary indoor pollution sources should be avoided;
(3)Air should be served cooled & dry to occupants;
(4)“personalized air” i.e. A small amount of clean air should be served gently and
close to the breathing zone of each individual;
(5)Individual control of the thermal environment should be provided.
These principals of excellence are compatible with energy efficiency and
sustainability”
– Prof. P. Ole Fanger, Director of ICIEE and member of the ASHRAE
Hall of Fame
