From Polluted Air to Clean, Healthy Spaces - See How it Works.
Active HVAC Air Purification Using Bi-Polar Ionization
AtmosAir is an active HVAC-integrated indoor air quality (IAQ) solution that uses dielectric barrier bi-polar ionization (BPI) to continuously clean the air inside buildings. It is designed for use in commercial, institutional, and residential environments where people live, work, learn, and gather.
Air ionization is a well-established and scientifically documented process. AtmosAir applies this proven chemistry to indoor environments, directly targeting the pollutants that affect human health, productivity, and building energy performance.
Commercial Indoor Air Quality
What Is Bi-Polar Ionization?
Bi-polar ionization is an active air purification technology that introduces a controlled quantity of positive and negative oxygen ions into the supply air of an HVAC system.
In natural environments - such as mountain regions or coastal air - these ions occur naturally and help neutralize airborne pollutants. In modern indoor spaces, particularly sealed and air-conditioned buildings, ion levels are significantly lower.
AtmosAir restores these naturally occurring ion levels indoors, recreating the “fresh air” effect found in clean outdoor environments - without adding chemicals, ozone, or fragrances.
How the Technology Works
AtmosAir systems use bi-polar ionization tubes that generate a low-energy cold plasma. This process:
-
Produces no heat or UV light
-
Creates no harmful by-products
-
Operates continuously while the HVAC system runs
The emitted positive and negative ions disperse through the air distribution system and into occupied spaces, where they actively interact with airborne contaminants.
What AtmosAir Removes or Reduces
Once released into the space, bi-polar ions:
-
Neutralize airborne pathogens (bacteria, viruses, mould spores)
-
Break down volatile organic compounds (VOCs) into harmless by-products
-
Agglomerate fine particulate matter (PM), making particles easier to filter or causing them to fall out of the breathing zone
-
Reduce allergens, odours, and smoke compounds
This occurs through natural chemical reactions that destabilize pollutants at a molecular level, preventing them from remaining airborne or biologically active.
HVAC Air Purification and Integration with Building Systems
AtmosAir is designed to be HVAC-integrated into the air handling system, treating air at the source rather than relying on standalone room devices.
Key advantages include:
-
Whole-building air treatment
-
Compatibility with ASHRAE 62.1 (IAQP) design strategies
-
Support for reduced outside air requirements
-
Lower HVAC energy demand and optimized system sizing
Ion levels can be dynamically adjusted and monitored, allowing performance to be aligned with occupancy, usage, and indoor air quality targets.
Energy, Sustainability, and Certifications
By improving indoor air quality (IAQ) without relying solely on high volumes of outside air, AtmosAir helps buildings:
• Reduce cooling and dehumidification loads
• Lower overall energy consumption
• Improve resilience in hot, humid, and dusty climates
AtmosAir systems are independently tested and certified, including:
• UL listed and UL 2998 (zero ozone) certified
• ENERGY STAR® recognized
• Compatible with LEED, WELL, and Fitwel pathways
These certifications validate AtmosAir as proven building infrastructure, not experimental technology.
Where AtmosAir Is Used
AtmosAir indoor air quality management systems are installed globally in:
-
Hospitals and healthcare facilities
-
Schools and universities
-
Offices and government buildings
-
Hotels, airports, mosques, and high-occupancy venues
-
Industrial and mission-critical environments
In Simple Terms
AtmosAir does not mask air problems.
It actively removes them.
This is not a post-occupancy add-on.
It is a design-stage optimisation strategy for healthier, more efficient buildings.
