Frequently Asked Questions
Got a question? We are here to answer!
Why is it named YOGa?
YOGa stands for Your Own Green Area. We create personalised breathing spaces where you can control quality of air you breathe.
How is YOGa’s solutions different from air purifiers?
Why do I need YOGa’s clean air bubble if I already have an air purifier?
Air Purifier enabled homes face the issue of high CO2 buildup which can reduce the occupants' concentration, cognitive development and sleep quality. These homes struggle to maintain WHO standard air quality (PM2.5 <5 µg/m3) as air purifiers’ performance depends on the opening and closing of doors, sealing quality of the house and other indoor activities.
Adding a Y-CAB system will solve the CO2 buildup issue as well as there will not be any impact of outdoor air pollution and opening/closing of doors.
Is it required only in winters of Delhi-NCR?
We hardly get 10 good air quality days in an entire year. Even these good days are far behind than WHO Standards. Also, out of world’s top 20 most polluted cities, 13 are from India.
We should start measuring our 24 hours exposure and lower our exposure to air pollution for longer life and better overall health.
Our AC is already purifying the air then why do we need this?
AC filters are not designed to clean the entire space because of low air change rates and feeble filtration. Also, it will not solve the CO2 accumulation issue.
Is it safe for children?
We don’t use any kind of air processing (Ionisation, ESP, ozonisation, PCO, UV & others) nor do we use glass fibre filtration. Instead, we use passive synthetic filtration to ensure its safety for even newborns.
Will it increase my electricity bill?
Our solutions consume the same electricity as your ceiling fan, we recommend running it on 24x7, 365 days a year.
What is air processing and air filtration?
Air processing is an active reaction with the breathable air to remove air pollutants. It involves chemical and structural changes of air pollutants with some bi-products as a result of the reaction. Whereas passive filtration is just arresting pollutants passively with some sieve or absorbent process and there are no byproducts of the reactions.
Wouldn’t it make my house cooler in winter and hotter in summer?
The air processing has nothing to do with your thermal comfort. We are replacing the same air that is being lost through exhausts. Also, because of high air displacements, air temperatures are always better. There have been no significant load increment in our clients’ homes. For heating, additional heating strip can always be added. If you have a standalone heating device that you use in winters, then you don’t need any additional heating.
What is Plug n Play CAB: YOGa Replenish? How does it work?
Plug n Play is a smaller version of YOGa clean air bubble (Y-CAB) system ideal for spaces upto 1000 sq. ft. It is installed in place of your any existing exhaust fan. No professional installation is needed and any one can install at home with basic tools.
