In a recent case study, Bonphul had the opportunity to observe how energy inefficient buildings can reduce the effectiveness of indoor air quality. However, it also noticed that most buildings using air conditioning, are having poor building envelope and are low in building energy efficiency.  Recently, one of Bonphul dealer’s in Bengaluru had raised an issue against the performance of the OxyMax machine. The concern was regarding, how it is failing to maintain oxygen level at 19% leave alone the standard 20-21%, it has been claiming to do. On inspecting the location, the room subjected to oxygenation had massive air leakage. This was not only preventing oxygenation to reach its optimum levels but was not an energy efficient space. 

Post-sealing the air breach, the oxygenation level reached above 21% with the room was totally vacated. This incident throws light on how air leakage is a common infrastructure problem in India. Though this was majorly about oxygenation, it also throws light on the overall picture of energy application, be it for cooling or heating,  sneaking out of the space unchecked.

This is just another example of many similar stories, where OxyMax application has highlighted that a particular space is air-loose and is causing energy and monetary loss to the user.
