Hyundai Engineering has developed a customized air quality management technology that reduces indoor airborne bacteria and harmful gases while enhancing ventilation performance in specific areas.
On October 26, Hyundai Engineering announced the launch of its 'Allergy Care Solution,' which combines a high-performance heat exchanger with a room-specific ventilation system.
This solution is designed to minimize pollutants that can trigger allergies in daily life and focuses on supplying fresh air to essential areas such as kitchens and children's rooms.
The high-performance heat exchanger utilizes electrostatic spraying technology to electrolyze moisture in the air and photoionization technology that employs specific light sources and photocatalysts.
According to Hyundai Engineering, the electrostatic spraying technology can eliminate up to 99% of airborne bacteria, while the photoionization technology can reduce harmful gases by up to 96%. These technologies have been validated by accredited institutions such as the Korea Testing Laboratory (KTL) and the Korea Construction and Living Testing Institute (KCL).
The room-specific ventilation system automatically adjusts the airflow supplied to the selected area. It achieves rapid ventilation performance of over six air changes per hour, significantly exceeding the legal ventilation standard of 0.5 air changes per hour, allowing for quick replacement of indoor air.
Hyundai Engineering plans to integrate the smart operation feature of the Allergy Care Solution into its residential platform applications, 'My Hills' and 'My DH.'
This will enable residents to analyze indoor air quality data, set optimal operation modes, and check air quality information and device status for specific areas.
As interest in indoor air quality rises, competition among construction companies is expanding beyond heating, cooling, and ventilation to include health management services.
An official from HMG Construction Technology Research Institute stated, “As environmental diseases increase and interest in indoor air quality grows, the importance of systematically managing indoor environments through residential technology is becoming more significant. We expect to provide differentiated residential value through the Allergy Care Solution.”
The official added, “We will continue to develop technologies for the healthy lives and convenience of residents, further expanding the philosophy and value of Neo Living.”
