News DeskDubai, UAE – Amantra FM, a niche facilities management company based in Dubai, has announced an exciting partnership with AtmosAir, a leading global provider of indoor air quality solutions headquartered in the United States. The strategic collaboration also includes AtmosAir’s authorized reseller, Circulus, a managed office solutions company. This partnership positions Amantra FM as the authorized distributor and promoter of AtmosAir’s innovative bi-polar ionization technology in the Middle East.
AtmosAir’s bi-polar ionization technology is renowned for its ability to reduce pathogens in indoor environments by up to 99%. Amantra FM has been a staunch advocate for improving indoor air quality in the Middle East, recognizing the growing health concerns associated with poor indoor air quality, such as sick-building syndrome, respiratory illnesses, and cardiovascular diseases. With people spending an estimated 90% of their lives indoors, addressing indoor air quality has become a critical need.
Sangeetha B, CEO of Amantra FM, emphasized the significance of this partnership, stating, “Indoor environments can harbor unseen contaminants and pathogens, posing a silent threat to occupants. Traditional solutions often reactively combat indoor pollutants, but bi-polar ionization technology neutralizes contaminants at their source, providing a proactive approach to optimizing indoor air quality. This approach, combined with its compatibility with existing HVAC systems, has far-reaching implications for public health, utility costs, and sustainability in the Middle East.”
AtmosAir’s proprietary technology employs charged ions to actively seek out and eliminate pathogens, mirroring nature’s way of cleansing outdoor air. Its ability to seamlessly integrate with existing HVAC systems makes it suitable for retrofitting in older facilities where contamination risks are higher. The technology’s Internet of Things (IoT) integration allows facility owners and operators to gain insights into the complex relationship between HVAC systems, occupant safety, energy consumption, and operational costs.
Peter Kenney, CEO of Circulus, highlighted the holistic approach of the partnership, stating, “Facilities must proactively eliminate indoor pathogens while reducing energy consumption and associated carbon emissions. Our vision aligns with bi-polar ionization, which has been documented to save up to 30% on HVAC energy costs and reduce up to 8% on overall utility expenses. Combined with improved indoor air quality, such solutions can help facilities meet LEED and WELL standards. We are thrilled to partner with Amantra FM to bring this vision to fruition in the Middle East.”
Syed A. Rehman, SVP at Circulus, underscored the multifaceted benefits of bi-polar ionization, stating, “AtmosAir’s technology has demonstrated significant improvements in indoor air quality and occupant productivity across various settings, while also synergizing with AI-driven solutions to optimize energy usage and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.”
To assess the feasibility of bi-polar ionization in their buildings, facility management teams and owners can respond to a questionnaire jointly presented by AtmosAir and Amantra FM. Following this, a certified AtmosAir team will conduct an onsite inspection and propose a customized solution. After client approval, installation schedules are coordinated, and stakeholders can monitor the systems round-the-clock, accurately measuring return on investment.
This advanced indoor air quality solution arrives in the Middle East at a time when “liveability” in residential and commercial buildings is gaining prominence, driven by the lessons learned during the pandemic. Recent studies have established a clear link between improved indoor air quality and positive impacts on business performance. Optimal indoor air quality has been associated with reduced absenteeism and employee turnover in offices, as well as increased tenant retention and rental yields in residential properties. Amantra FM believes that the sustainability benefits of bi-polar ionization technology can serve as a catalyst for achieving broader net-zero goals in the region.
Amantra FM’s partnership with AtmosAir and Circulus marks a significant step toward creating healthier, more sustainable indoor environments across the Middle East.
