Indoor Air Quality GCC / Middle East Why IAQ Matters
It is for those committed to advancing health, productivity, and decarbonisation across Oman, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE via HVAC air purification technology.
Compliance, ESG and Sustainability
Indoor Air Quality GCC
Designed for GCC Conditions
IAQ, Air Purification & Indoor Air Quality Management
are part of national infrastructure, tied to Vision 2040 (Oman), Vision 2030 (KSA), and Net Zero 2050 (UAE) Indoor air quality management is no longer a building feature. It is a strategic enabler of public health, human capital development, and energy efficiency - core priorities under Oman Vision 2040, Saudi Vision 2030, and the UAE Net Zero 2050 strategy. Indoor air quality solutions positively contribute to these strategies.

THE PROBLEM - Make the Invisible Risk Visible
The Most Overlooked Risk: IAQ in Commercial Buildings
-
People spend 90%+ of their time indoors
-
Indoor air is often 2–5× more polluted than outdoor air
-
Poor IAQ increases:
-
Sick days and healthcare costs
-
Cognitive fatigue and productivity loss
-
Energy use through over-ventilation
-
Mold and microbial risk in humid climates
-
Ventilation alone does not solve commercial indoor air quality. It only dilutes the problem.

Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) Quick FAQs
Q: What is indoor air quality (IAQ) and why does it matter? A: Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) refers to the air quality within building environments and directly impacts occupant health, productivity, healthcare costs, and energy use. Modern IAQ strategies use measurement, active air purification, and performance-based design standards such as ASHRAE 62.1 IAQP.
Q: How does ASHRAE 62.1 IAQP save cost? A: reduces energy use and HVAC capital costs by replacing dilution with validated indoor air quality solutions.
Q: Does DBD BPI replace HVAC filters? A: No. it works with mechanical filtration, not instead of it. By causing particles to agglomerate (stick together), DBD BPI actually improves filter performance, allowing filters to capture larger, heavier particles more effectively and often extend filter life.
Q: What contaminants does DBD BPI reduce? A: Independently tested results show DBD BPI indoor air quality (IAQ) solutions can reduce: Bacteria (up to 99%) Viruses (including Human Coronavirus 229E) Mould spores VOCs Ultrafine and fine particles Odours and allergens
Q: How does bi-polar ionisation improve indoor air quality management? A: Bi-polar ionisation releases positive and negative ions that neutralise contaminants in the breathing space, reduce VOCs, and improve overall indoor air quality.
Q: What is HVAC-integrated purification? A: HVAC-integrated air purification delivers whole-building IAQ improvement at scale.
Q: Is DBD BPI proven or experimental technology? A: DBD BPI is proven infrastructure. Its indoor air quality management system has been deployed globally for over 20 years across hospitals, airports, offices, schools, and hospitality environments and is supported by extensive independent testing and validation.
Q: How does indoor air quality management clean air pay for itself? A: Improved indoor air quality (IAQ) pays for itself through energy savings, productivity gains, and resilience
