Indoor air can be 5x more polluted than outdoor air. In 2026, the focus has shifted to material science for wellness.

The VOC Culprit

Low-VOC and Zero-VOC paints (Asian Paints/Berger) now use Graphene-based coatings to absorb CO2.

Material Selection

  • Formaldehyde-Free Plywood: E0 Grade or Green Guard certified items eliminate toxic off-gassing.
  • HEPA HVAC: H13 HEPA filtration and ERV systems for fresh air.
  • Photocatalytic Tiles: Breaking down bacteria on sunlight exposure.
