Should I Leave My Air Purifier On All The Time?

by admin

Our previous posts have emphasised the importance of clean, purified air. It is essential for individuals of all ages, from children to the elderly. Air quality impacts everything from your physical health to your mental wellbeing. One of the most effective ways to ensure you breathe clean and purified air is investing in a good air purifier. However, users may become increasingly concerned about energy conservation and rising utility bills if they leave the air purifier on at all times. You may be wondering whether you should leave the air purifier running all the time or only when you are awake and inside the house?

Turning the air purifier on all the time.…

The best way to maintain the highest level of air quality in an enclosed space is to keep the air purifier on all of the time. Indoor pollutants are released from cooking fumes, the accumulation of chemical products after cleaning the house, pet dander, and hair.

Pollutants from outside can also impact the quality of your indoor air. They get into your house whenever you open a window, enter it, or let someone else in. Even if our windows and doors are always closed, our homes are not completely sealed, allowing outdoor pollutants to enter.

When you turn off the air purifier, the air will naturally keep flowing and circulating, introducing new pollutants and lessening air quality in a short period. If you leave your air purifier on all of the time, it will constantly filter and purify the air and remove any new pollutants circulating within the space.

Air purifier consumes less electricity

It is a common misconception that leaving the air purifier on all the time will result in a significant increase in your utility bills; however, this is not the case. A standard air purifier can consume between 10 to 100 watts of electricity, depending on its specifications. For example, a 50-watt-per-hour air purifier will use 1200 watts per day. Converting this to Ringgit would add about RM 6.00 to your monthly bill. It is relatively affordable to keep the air purifiers running all of the time.

What type of air purifiers are not safe for 24-hour use?

Although it is best to leave your purifier running continuously, there are some situations where running the air purifier at all, such as the ozone air purifier, may pose a potential hazard. Ozone air purifiers produce a high level of ozone, which is harmful to one’s health. It is not safe to use this air purifier when people are around. Furthermore, before running your air purifier continuously, keep in mind that the filter should be changed and maintained regularly to ensure that the air purifiers work correctly.

Benefits of turning on the air purifiers all the time

  • You will sleep better because you can inhale more freely, which is especially important for people who suffer from allergies and breathing difficulties.

  • Continuously running your air purifier can eliminate odours, leaving your home fresher and more comfortable.

  • The air we breathe can contain high levels of contaminants, such as viruses. Air purifiers will absorb these contaminants, ensuring that no illnesses spread via airborne transmission.

  • Pollutants in the air can harm your cardiovascular, respiratory, and even neurological systems. Investing in a good air purifier can help you live a longer life.

It is safe…

According to the discussion above, it is safe to leave the air purifiers on at all times. You will gain more benefits as a result of doing so. Everyone in your household will be able to breathe cleaner and healthier air, improving their health. Turning it on at all times, despite popular belief, will not cost a fortune, and it will undoubtedly be a valuable addition to you and your family.

INTELiAQ: How Will The Device Help You?

by admin
Our previous article discussed sick building syndromes (SBS) and the necessity of regulating and monitoring the air quality we breathe to improve our lives and productivity. As a result of the COVID-19 outbreak, housing developers, residents, and employers are becoming more concerned about safety and wellbeing. As a result of the pandemic, stricter procedures for preventing and protecting against virus exposure have been implemented, including ventilation, disinfection, and indoor air quality monitoring.

COVID-19 AND INDOOR AIR QUALITY

People have been spending more time indoors since the COVID-19 virus outbreak, in homes or buildings where the concentrations of various pollutants can be two to five times higher than average outdoor concentrations. Furthermore, office building products and materials emit carbon monoxide, particulate matter, ozone, and various organic chemicals that are hazardous to human health. Understanding and controlling building airflow can help to improve the quality of the air we breathe while also lowering the risk of indoor health problems, such as preventing the virus that causes COVID-19 from spreading indoors.

CONVENTIONAL INDOOR AIR QUALITY ASSESSMENT

Indoor air quality assessment has been around long before the COVID-19 outbreak. While the method is beneficial for determining air quality in a closed space, it has several disadvantages. The traditional way of testing indoor air quality only provides the most recent result of air quality—the air quality changes depending on the time, humidity level, and other factors. Furthermore, depending on the size of the buildings and the number of checkpoints to be covered, it will take longer to cover the entire enclosed space. This assessment’s results will also take a longer time to complete.

ENVIRO INTELiAQ

The first step in tackling the issue is utilising ENVIRO INTELiAQ to evaluate air quality levels in our homes or offices. The uHoo-powered Enviro InteliAQ System is a remarkable feat of engineering that manages to put nine air quality sensors into a compact device. The uHoo Virus IndexTM is a real-time risk assessment of the coronavirus surviving and transmittable in the air based on Al-powered insights.

ENVIRO INTELiAQ Pro

In addition to the ENVIRO INTELiAQ, ENVIRO Group is pleased to introduce the ENVIRO INTELiAQ Pro, a more advanced air quality monitoring system that complements the ENVIRO INTELiAQ. The ENVIRO INTELiAQ Pro can detect up to thirteen air quality parameters with the options to upgrade and measure up to 15 parameters, including nitrogen dioxide, ozone, sulphur dioxide, oxygen, hydrogen sulphide, and ammonia.
· Relative Humidity
· Carbon Dioxide (CO2)
· Chemicals (VOCs)
· Carbon Monoxide (co)
· Dust Particles (PM10)
· Dust Particles (PM4)
· Dust Particles (PM2.5)
· Dust Particles (PM1.0)
· Formaldehyde
· Air Pressure
· Light
· Sound
In addition to the extra parameters measured by the ENVIRO INTELiAQ Pro, this device displays the Virus Index, Discomfort Index, Productivity Index, Energy Index, Mould Index, Sustainability Index, and Health & Safety Index. The pump function distinguishes the INTELiAQ Pro from the ENVIRO INTELiAQ. Instead of only sensing air quality, this pump can absorb microscopic particles that decrease the indoor air quality.
INTELiAQ takes 24-hour readings by adapting to and relying on the current state of indoor air quality. Users can monitor the air quality using their mobile phones at any time. Both the INTELiAQ and INTELiAQ Pro devices are small and easy to navigate from one room to another, making it easier to determine which point of the enclosed space has poor air quality and take the necessary steps to solve this problem.

The rising number of chronic diseases linked to poor indoor air quality has brought to light the urgency for a better understanding in addressing the problem.

uHoo co-founder and CEO Dustin Onghanseng said sick building syndrome (SBS) or building-related illness (BRI) has been a cause of concern for most building occupants who fall ill due to poor indoor air quality.

However, he said recent innovations in low-cost air pollution sensors have enabled a new generation of air quality monitoring devices that provide actionable high-resolution data at a fraction of the cost of traditional monitoring systems.

“Air quality used to be something that people rely on manual methods for information.

“However, the technology behind the Internet of Things has improved dramatically that sensors are now so small that you can monitor the quality of air you breathe in your homes or offices,” he said at the launch of the Enviro InteliAQ System in Kuala Lumpur yesterday.

According to Onghansen, a survey revealed that tenants were willing to pay 25% higher rent on better healthy building systems.

“Healthy buildings help shape the competitive price scale for the real estate market and may soon become the dealmaker or breaker in commercial property decisions.

“Also, 64% (of the tenants) in Asia Pacific are willing to pay extra for products and services produced or offered from companies that are committed to positive social and environmental impact,” he said.

Onghanseng added that companies could save up to RM30,000 on return on investment productivity per person per year by enhancing the wellbeing of occupants.

“Having good indoor air quality would lead to the increase of productivity and better decision-making. This is important because we spend more than 80% of our time indoors,” he said.

The Enviro InteliAQ System, which features nine air quality sensors packed into a tiny device about the size of a coffee mug, is first launched in Malaysia before being introduced in other regional markets.

The system, launched by Enviro Group Asia through its subsidiary Enviroverks (M) Sdn Bhd, also saw the group partnering boutique hotel Alila Bangsar.

Its group CEO Nitesh Malani said the collaboration will be a game-changer for the hospitality industry in the country as the company would help Alila Bangsar to ensure that its guests and staff are exposed to fewer pollutants and contaminations overall.

Enviro Group Asia has also entered into a collaborative distribution and research and development agreement with uHoo International, which will see the group expanding its regional footprint in the building sciences and environmental engineering sector.
