Smart Air helps an embassy in Delhi to create a healthier work environment

Sector/Industry: Government/Embassy
Region: India

Smart Air partnered with The Slovenian Embassy in Delhi to combat indoor air pollution, significantly reducing harmful pollutants and providing a healthier environment for staff and visitors.

The challenge: overcoming Delhi’s severe air pollution

Delhi is notorious for its high levels of outdoor air pollution, which regularly exceeds safe limits. For the embassy, this created a serious air quality issue in their office spaces:

High outdoor PM2.5 pollution: The fine particulate matter from vehicles, construction, and industrial activities frequently infiltrated the embassy building.
Indoor air quality issues: The embassy also faced poor indoor air quality due to the office layout, which included open spaces and insufficient ventilation.
Staff and visitor health concerns: The embassy needed a solution to improve air quality for both their employees and the visitors from various diplomatic sectors.

What did Smart Air do?

Smart Air offered a practical, efficient solution to help the embassy achieve healthier air quality:

Portable air purifiers for flexibility and immediate impact
- Smart Air recommended Blast air purifiers, which were ideal for the embassy's large office spaces. These portable units could be moved around easily and offered immediate results.
- The purifiers were designed to clean the air without the need for expensive and disruptive central air system installations.
Strategic placement for maximum coverage
- Smart Air’s team placed the purifiers in areas where air pollution levels were the highest, including common areas and key offices. This strategic placement ensured that all areas were well-covered, even as the embassy expanded or changed layouts.

Implementation of the Blast and Blast mini air purifiers for immediate impact

The embassy installed the Blast and Blast mini units in their office, covering the entire 5,000 sq ft space with minimal impact to the aesthetics and environment of the workspace. These purifiers featured:

H13 HEPA filters to remove 99.97% of fine particulate matter (PM2.5).
Activated carbon filters for tackling VOCs and unpleasant odours.
Efficient design that could clean large areas without taking up valuable retail space.

The purifiers’ plug-and-play design allowed quick installation and their portability also provided flexibility to reconfigure or add units as needed.

Why choose Smart Air?

Large companies and fast-growing startups like Zomato, BBC, and Auchan have chosen Smart Air over traditional brands because Smart Air is disrupting the market for clean air.

As a social enterprise and certified B Corp, Smart Air was founded on the belief that clean air should not be a luxury good. Traditional air purifier companies often inflate prices by claiming to have patented technology and hiding the simple science behind air purifiers.

Smart Air does things differently.

We publish open-source, open-method scientific tests that reveal the true cost of clean air. By sticking to the basic science, Smart Air designs purifiers that deliver more clean air than major European brands — at just a fraction of the price.
