Clean Air By Design
Indoor Air Quality Is Core Building Infrastructure - Not an Upgrade
Indoor air quality is no longer a post-occupancy improvement. In the high-density, fully air-conditioned buildings common in the GCC and MENA, the air people breathe indoors directly impacts health, productivity, energy use, and long-term building performance. As wellness, sustainability, and airborne risk become board-level priorities, clean air must be treated as essential building infrastructure - designed in early, continuously monitored, and actively managed.


Why Indoor Air Quality for Hotels Is Becoming a Priority in the GCC & MENA
Why Indoor Air Quality for Hotels Is Becoming a Priority in the GCC & MENA. Hotels across the GCC and MENA region operate in hot, dusty climates, rely on continuous air-conditioning, and accommodate high guest turnover every day. In this environment, indoor air quality (IAQ) is no longer just a comfort issue - it has become a core driver of guest satisfaction, staff well-being, operational efficiency, and brand reputation.

The Case for Clean Indoor Air in Future-Ready Buildings
The Case for Clean Indoor Air in Future-Ready Buildings. Green Build Oman reinforced a critical message: indoor air quality is fundamental to sustainable, future-ready buildings. By integrating air purification into HVAC design and leveraging ASHRAE 62.1 IAQP, new buildings can reduce energy use, lower capital costs, and significantly improve occupant health - often at no additional cost.

Why Indoor Air Quality for Airports Is an Infrastructure Priority in the GCC & MENA
Why Indoor Air Quality for Airports Is an Infrastructure Priority in the GCC & MENA. Airports are among the most complex and heavily occupied public buildings in the GCC and MENA region. They operate 24/7, accommodate millions of passengers annually, and bring together travellers, airline crews, security personnel, retail staff, and ground operations teams - all within sealed, continuously air-conditioned environments.
In such settings, indoor air quality (IAQ) is not simply

Why Indoor Air Quality Is a Strategic Design Advantage for Offices in the GCC
Why Indoor Air Quality Is a Strategic Design Advantage for Offices in the GCC. Modern offices in the GCC are no longer judged solely on location, aesthetics, or amenities. They are increasingly assessed on health, performance, sustainability, and operating efficiency. In hot, dusty climates where buildings remain sealed and mechanically cooled year-round, indoor air quality (IAQ) has become a decisive factor in both workforce well-being and asset value.

Purified Air at Sea: Why Cruise Ships Are Turning to Bi-Polar Ionization
Purified Air at Sea: Why Cruise Ships Are Turning to Bi-Polar Ionization. Cruise ships represent one of the most demanding indoor air quality environments in the world. Thousands of passengers and crew live, dine, socialise, and sleep in close proximity for days or weeks at a time, all within a sealed, continuously air-conditioned structure. In these conditions, managing indoor air quality is not simply a comfort issue - it is a critical operational and reputational priority.

Improved Indoor Air Quality as a Critical Component of Infection Prevention in Hospitals
Improved Indoor Air Quality as a Critical Component of Infection Prevention in Hospitals. Hospitals are supposed to heal - but they can also be environments where infections spread. This is especially true in high-occupancy, continuously air-conditioned healthcare facilities common across the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) and MENA region.
In such settings, indoor air quality (IAQ) isn’t a comfort issue: it’s a critical clinical and public health concern that impacts patient

Why Improved Indoor Air Quality Is a Hidden Driver of Guest Experience in the GCC Foodservice Sector
Why Improved Indoor Air Quality Is a Hidden Driver of Guest Experience in the GCC Foodservice Sector. One of the most powerful elements shaping that experience is often invisible: the air.
Among our five senses, smell is the most emotionally influential. It plays a defining role in how food is perceived, how spaces are judged, and how brands are remembered. In foodservice environments, unwanted or lingering odours can undermine even the highest standards of food quality, hygi

Data Centres and Mission-Critical Facilities: Improving Indoor Air Quality Beyond Humans
Improving Indoor Air Quality: Data Centres. When indoor air quality (IAQ) is discussed, the focus is almost always on people - health, comfort, productivity, and well-being. But in some of the most critical buildings in the world, the primary “occupants” are not humans at all. Data centres, control rooms, trading floors, broadcast facilities, and other mission-critical environments depend on something just as sensitive as human lungs: electronics.

IAQ - Mould, Moisture, and Health: How AtmosAir Helps Control a Hidden Risk in Humid Climates
IAQ - Mould, Moisture, and Health. Mould is one of the most persistent and underestimated threats to indoor environments - particularly in coastal and humid regions. Unlike visible maintenance issues, mould often develops silently behind walls, within HVAC systems, and in conditioned spaces where moisture, heat, and organic material combine.
