MITSUBISHI ELECTRIC HAS introduced a new indoor air quality concept called It’s Time to Upgrade Your Air.
Launched in India last month, the concept fits with the new COVID-19 environment where working from home has become normalized and the minimum acceptable standard of air-quality has changed.
Mitsubishi Electric has redefined comfort with fast, clean, and eco-friendly air condition- ers by combining it with a Lossnay ventilation system for better indoor air quality.
Staying at home with little or no contact with nature may become unhealthy when there’s no proper ventilation system to supply clean air. Mitsubishi Electric’s Lossnay Ventilator is a
complete heat exchange ventilation system that uses paper characteristics to perform tempera- ture and humidity exchange.
It helps to maintain appropriate humidity and temperature for people to stay comfortable.
Lossnay only draws fresh air from the out- side – it does not take air from the attic or rooftop, the build-up of dust, dirt, and other contaminants such as mould, insect, and ro- dent droppings makes indoor air much harder to filter before it is distributed throughout the home.
The Lossnay System specifically utilizes di- rect fresh air after proper filtration.
This cutting-edge technology will help con- sumers enjoy fresh air to stay healthy at home. ✺
