IMMEDIATE RELEASE

[KUALA LUMPUR 15th September, 2023] – ENVIRO GROUP Asia, a leading provider of innovative building environmental solutions, has entered into a strategic business collaboration with Disrupt-X, a leading developer and provider of Internet of Things (IoT) solutions platform, to capitalise on the growing opportunities in the regional markets of IoT and Smart Building Facilities and Engineering solutions.

The partnership aims to combine the expertise and resources of both companies to accelerate the adoption of cutting-edge smart building technologies in the Asia-Pacific region. By leveraging Disrupt-X’s advanced IoT platform solutions and ENVIRO GROUP Asia’s extensive experience in environmental engineering initiatives, the collaboration seeks to create sustainable and energy-efficient building solutions that align with the region’s escalating government efforts towards reducing energy consumption.

The Smart Building Market has witnessed remarkable growth in recent years, surpassing USD 85 billion in 2022. With a projected Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of over 20% from 2023 to 2032, the market holds immense potential for both established and emerging players. With growth potential of USD 500 Billion by 2032, this segment of business will place ENVIRO Group as a pioneer in this area of growth.

Regulatory authorities globally have also been introducing stringent norms and incentives to encourage building owners & managers to invest in smart building technology, thus favoring the market growth. For instance, in October 2022, the European Council agreed on a recommendation to modify the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive to make sure that all buildings are energy efficient. The directive mandates that all new buildings need to be zero-emission facilities by 2030, and existing establishments are required to be transformed into zero-emission buildings by 2050.

Various factors that drove ENVIRO Group to venture into this segment of business says Nitesh Malani, Group Chief Executive. Growing loT and Al integration in building solutions, Government initiatives to reduce energy consumption, Increasing investment in smart city projects, Increasing focus on occupant comfort and safety and Rising interest to achieve sustainable goals are a few to further explore potential with existing key clients within the region.

“As the demand for energy-efficient and sustainable building solutions continues to rise, we are thrilled to partner with Disrupt-X to bring cutting-edge IoT and smart building technologies to the forefront of the regional market,” said Mr. Nitesh Malani, CEO of ENVIRO GROUP Asia. “This collaboration will enable us to collectively address the pressing challenges of energy consumption and foster greener, smarter cities.”

The COVID-19 pandemic has escalated the need for smart, intuitive systems. As social distancing became a norm, technologies such as visitor management systems, which were earlier considered non- essential, became increasingly important to manage visitors’ flow across buildings. While several companies struggled to make it through the crisis with limited investments. However, the ones that invested in these technologies witnessed the widespread potential of smart building software integration.

Mr. Asim Sajwani, CEO of Disrupt-X, also expressed enthusiasm about the collaboration: “In today’s ever-evolving digital era, smart building solutions are no longer an option, but a necessity. Partnering with ENVIRO GROUP Asia reinforces our shared vision of integrating cutting-edge IoT technologies into building solutions, promoting efficiency and sustainability across the region.”

The collaboration comes at a time when governments across both developed and developing economies are taking active steps to promote the adoption of energy-efficient building solutions. Through this partnership, ENVIRO GROUP Asia and Disrupt-X aim to be at the forefront of driving this transformational change.

As an F&B owner, it is crucial to maintain your kitchen exhaust system and choose the right company for the job. Here are 5 reasons why:

1. Fire Safety: A properly maintained kitchen exhaust system reduces the risk of fire hazards. Grease buildup in the exhaust system can ignite easily and cause a fire. Regular cleaning and maintenance ensure that the system is free from this risk.
2. Compliance with Regulations: Many jurisdictions have specific regulations regarding the maintenance of kitchen exhaust systems. Failure to comply with these regulations can lead to penalties and even shut down your business. By choosing the right company, you can ensure that your kitchen exhaust system is in compliance with all regulations.
3. Improved Air Quality: A clean and well-maintained exhaust system helps improve the air quality in your kitchen. It effectively removes smoke, steam, and other pollutants, creating a healthier environment for your staff and customers.
4. Energy Efficiency: A properly functioning exhaust system is more energy-efficient. It ensures that the hot air is efficiently removed from the kitchen, reducing the load on cooling systems and saving you money on energy bills. Regular maintenance by a reputable company can keep your system running at its optimal efficiency.
5. Prolonged Equipment Lifespan: Kitchen exhaust systems are an investment, and proper maintenance can extend their lifespan. Regular cleaning and upkeep prevent the accumulation of grease and debris, which can clog the system and lead to costly repairs or replacements. Hiring a reputable company ensures that your equipment lasts longer and saves you from unexpected expenses.

When choosing a company to maintain your kitchen exhaust system, consider the following factors:

• Experience and Expertise: Look for a company that has extensive experience in dealing with kitchen exhaust systems.
• Certification and Compliance: Ensure that the company is certified and meets all legal requirements and industry standards.
• Reliability and Reputation: Check for customer reviews and testimonials to gauge the company’s reliability and reputation.
• Range of Services: Choose a company that offers comprehensive services, including cleaning, maintenance, and repairs.
• Pricing: While cost is important, prioritize quality and reliability over the lowest price.

By maintaining your kitchen exhaust system and selecting the right company, you can ensure the safety, efficiency, and longevity of your F&B business. Get in touch with our experts from ENVIRO Group for a FREE and Hassle-Free consultation. It’s toll-free on 1 800 7900 or support@envirogroup.asia.

The discharge of smoke from industrial plants. Emission of automobile gas. Open-flame haze. These are some of the things that come to mind when we think about air quality. Many like to assume that the outdoor air is generally more dangerous for human health, so they stay indoors, but is this true? Many people think staying indoors is the best way to avoid air pollution. 

You couldn’t be more wrong…

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) discovered that indoor air is five times more polluted than outdoor air. This discovery puts things into perspective because we spend so much of our time indoors. When was the last time you woke to the smell of fresh air? Nothing but the taste of clean, fresh air devoid of contaminants? Our homes should be a sanctuary, a place to unwind from the stresses of our busy lives, but they can also be places where the air is dirty and contaminated, endangering our health.

If you find yourself falling sick frequently when you spend too much time indoors, it could be the air! 

What Contributes to Poor Indoor Air in Your Home?

Many factors can contribute to poor indoor air quality in your house, including tobacco smoke, poor ventilation, household products, dirty fabrics from upholstery or carpets, cooking appliances, artificial fragrances, and more. These chemicals and contaminants can interact in the air, decreasing the quality. 

Fighting Indoor Air Pollution at Home 

Whether you live in an apartment or a townhouse, old or new house, there are many ways you can protect and enhance the indoor air quality. Here are some ways you can take: 

Do Not Smoke Indoors

Smoke, of course, contributes to pollution. Even after the smoking has stopped, particulate matter is left behind by cigarettes and cigars, polluting your home in the long run. So, take that cigarette outdoors.

Examine Your Air Ducts

Keeping your air ducts clean is critical for indoor air quality. Visible dust build-up on the ducts or furnishings and an increase in allergy flare-ups are classic indicators that your air ducts require cleaning.

Maintain The Cleanliness of Your Rugs and Carpets

Rugs and carpets can capture dust and other pollutants in their many fibres, accumulating them and decreasing the air quality. Clean your carpets and rugs weekly, improving the air quality in your sanctuary. 

Install an Air Quality Monitoring System 

To know what is wrong with your indoor air, you need to know what is in it. And what better way to know that than having an air quality monitoring system? With ENVIRO InteliAQ, the system will inform you about what is wrong with your indoor air and what is decreasing the air quality. 

Increase the ventilation (including natural ventilation!)

This is one of the most significant things you can do for better air quality in your home because it is impossible to prevent contaminants and pollutants entirely. No other air purifier performs as effectively as HealthWay air purifiers. HealthWay models remove 99.97% of all contaminants at 0.007 microns, including viruses like COVID-19. In addition to that, you can open your windows to let in some fresh air from outside. 

Need help in breathing better at home? 

Keeping the air in your living space pristine and breathable takes effort and proactive upkeep. Begin making better health decisions by allowing our experts to manage your indoor air quality. We provide a number of service solutions to support you keep your air clean. Call ENVIRO Group right now at 1800 88 7900 to ensure that the air in your home is safe and clean.

Indoor Air Quality has been the talk of the town since early 2020. Why? January 2020 began with tidal waves filled with unprecedented challenges brought over to Malaysia. The first case of COVID-19 was detected and traced back to 3 Chinese nationals who previously had close contact with an infected person in Singapore. Malaysia and the whole world changed imminently. 

Though the government has declared that the country has transitioned to an endemic phase in April 2022, we are gradually adjusting to the new normal, continuing our lives with the disease. Human lives are still in peril as academic establishments are up and running again, and employees return to the office. There appear to be numerous new challenges that we must address. How do we protect ourselves and other people in the so-called new normal after COVID-19?

The COVID-19 Virus and the Air We Breathe

People infected with COVID can expel particles and droplets of respiratory fluids containing the SARS CoV-2 virus into the air because COVID-19 can spread via airborne particles and droplets. The environments in which the COVID-19 virus spreads more easily are crowded places, close-contact settings, and confined spaces with poor ventilation. COVID-19 spread is especially dangerous in areas with these 3Cs.

Optimal Indoor Air Care Strategies

There is no single solution to improving indoor air quality; it requires a multifaceted approach considering ventilation, fresh air intake, pressure, humidity, temperature, and filtration. When combined with other preventative measures, good indoor air quality management can help reduce the spread of COVID-19. When considering how to address IAQ, employers should consider the following steps:

• Maintaining recommended humidity and temperature levels
• Employing a monitoring system to ensure that everything is working efficiently
• Adequate and proper ventilation for proper flow and distribution of air
• Utilising air filtration systems with DFS Technology (able to capture particles of down to 0.007 microns)
• Minimising the number of persons in a space at the same time
• Requiring occupants to maintain a safe physical distance from others 
• Requiring occupants to wear well-constructed, well-fitting masks

Indoor Air Quality Care: A Way of Life Post-Covid 19

The COVID-19 virus was not the first to infect people worldwide and is unlikely to be the last. Even after the current pandemic has passed, contaminants in the air and viral infections will challenge indoor air quality. COVID-19, however, has altered our perception of and concern for the air we breathe. Unlike water, if the water we are drinking is contaminated, we can still find a replacement with bottled water. 

However, we have no choice over the air we breathe; we cannot buy the air we breathe: if we fail to care for and cherish the air we breathe, we won’t be able to live. That is why indoor air quality is so pertinent in our lives. Let us all do our part to improve and optimise the indoor air conditions of our spaces.
