  • There was a sharp reduction in PM 2.5 levels in Uber’s office when MCAC was turned ON at different periods. The average PM2.5 level of less than 35 μg/m3 was maintained in the office.
  • Quantified clean air was delivered with live air quality monitoring through Dr Air monitoring sensor.
  • Significant energy savings were observed in Uber’s office on account of low-pressure drop.
