Our MISSION
INDOOR AIR QUALITY
What is meant by indoor air quality?
According to the US Environmental Protection Agency, in-
door air is often more seriously polluted than outdoor air.
Given that many of us spend up to 90 per cent of our time
indoors or in vehicles this is significant. For general health,
well-being and safety reasons, human beings require a com-
fortable indoor temperature with air free from dust, irri-
tants, pathogens, unpleasant odours, mould and mildew and
other contaminants. Many factors affect indoor air quality
(IAQ) in hotels and office buildings including:
levels of outdoor pollution, caused for example by smog,
traffic or aircraft emissions and pesticides
sources of indoor pollution including the materials used
in the fabric of buildings, carpets and soft furnishings,
smoking, cleaning chemicals and the use of perfumes
and salon products (see table 1)
the rate of exchange between indoor and outdoor air,
i.e. ventilation rates and distribution
the amount of moisture in the indoor environment,
which is considerably increased in hot humid climates,
near kitchen areas and if the hotel has a gym, spa or in-
door swimming pool. In serious cases this can lead to
the growth of mould and mildew which has health im-
plications
Our VISION
Expand our services and build a
team of highly motivated profes-
sionals to compete with internation-
al companies in the Middle East and
North Africa region.
Why is IAQ important?
IAQ is of great importance in the hotel environment for the following reasons –
many of them with potentially significant financial implications:
It is your legal responsibility to ensure the safety of staff, guests and customers at
all times. This includes, for example, the safe functioning, adequate ventilation
and proper maintenance of boilers and heating systems to avoid creating toxic
fumes such as carbon monoxide. In October 2006 two children died from carbon
monoxide poisoning due to fumes from a defective gas appliance at their hotel
bungalow in Corfu.
You are also obliged to ensure you do not create a risk to public health through for example:
Legionnaires disease – this is a rare form of pneumonia that can be contracted
through the inhalation of droplets of contaminated water transmitted in the
form of spray. The risks are associated with poor maintenance of air-conditioning
systems, showering facilities, whirlpool and spa baths and fountains. Legionella
bacteria are unlikely to be detected by staff or guests until someone falls serious-
ly ill. Not only are companies that are found responsible for incubating Legion-
naires disease liable to prosecution and fines, it is potentially fatal (killing around
4,000 people around the world each year) and could expose you to compensa-
tion claims.
Certain moulds such as the toxic Stachybotrus chartarum thrive in damp and hu-
mid conditions. They can cause hay-fever like symptoms and affect sufferers of
chronic lung diseases such as asthma. People with lower immunity are also at risk
of infection from moulds.
Allergies can be exacerbated by air-conditioning, dust mites or materials to which
they are allergic in guest bedrooms.

“The National Air Duct Cleaning Association”.
Since the early 1970’s the public has become increasingly aware of IAQ problems and their relationship to the cleanliness of HVAC systems. In response to public concern and to establish standards of excellence, NADCA (National Air Duct Clean-ers Association) was formed. The National Air Duct Cleaning Associ-ation, in conjunction with the EPA, created recommended procedures and standards for air duct cleaning, assessment and remediation. The resulting document ACR 2002 is now the industry standard.
We depends in our work on the NADCA Standards.
Scope of work
We shall be responsible for the re-
moval of visible surface contami-
nants and deposits from within the
HVAC system .
The HVAC system includes any in-
terior surface of the facility’s air dis-
tribution system.
This includes the entire HVAC sys-
tem from the points where the air
enters the system to the points
where the air is discharged from
the system..
The return air grilles, return air
ducts to the air handling unit
(AHU), the interior surfaces of the
AHU, mixing box, coil compart-
ment, condensate drain pans, hu-
midifiers and dehumidifiers, supply
air ducts, fans, fan housing, fan
blades, air wash systems, spray
eliminators, turning vanes, filters,
filter housings, reheat coils, supply
diffusers, exhaust and ventilation
components are all considered part
of the HVAC system.
Benefits:
Guest satisfaction :
often guests will not complain about a stuffy environment or a
room that exacerbates any allergies they may have, but they are
unlikely to return or recommend your hotel to others.
Staff productivity:
staff cannot work efficiently and effectively if they are uncomforta-
ble. This will affect their concentration, productivity and how they
relate to your clients. Poor air quality can cause headaches, tired-
ness, dry or sore eyes or throat, skin irritation, dizziness and even
nausea. So-called ‘sick building syndrome’ can have a detrimental
effect on long-term health.
Reduced operating costs:
by reducing energy consumption (and your carbon dioxide emis-
sions) through investment in modern, efficient air-conditioning
equipment and proper maintenance.

Coil Cleaning
1. Measuring air pressure drop
across cooling coil for AHU’s
before cleaning and comparing
it with the clean coil conditions.
2. Measuring air velocity through
the cooling coil before cleaning
and comparing it to the design
airflow rate.
3. Cleaning cooling coils and drain
pans with pressurized hot water
and Air-Care internationally ap-
proved detergents.
4. Measuring pressure drop across
cooling coil for AHU's after
cleaning and comparing it with
the clean coil conditions.
5. Measuring air velocity through
the cooling coil after cleaning
and comparing it to the specifi-
cations.

Common indoor air pollutants in Hotels
HVAC System Component In-
spections:
We perform a visual inspection of
the HVAC system to determine ap-
propriate methods, tools, and
equipment required to satisfactorily
complete this project.
Site Evaluation and Prepara-
tions
We conduct a site evaluation, and
establish a specific, coordinated
plan which details how each area of
the building will be protected dur-
ing the various phases of the pro-
ject.
Clean air is not only an amenity like ironing boards and hair dryers:
It's a necessity. Since hotel rooms generally have worse air quality
than most people's homes and since many guests come from
smoke-free communities, hotels and resorts cannot afford to over-
look their indoor air quality. Customers will notice.

Benefits of Clean Air
ProService equipment
Equipment shall be mobile and
be proved in business or certi-
fied by a professional institution
(Air-Care, USA).

with the following features:
High resolution camera.
built in infra red LED’s
for use in total darkness.
3.6 mm coated lens.
25 foot semi-rigid camera
cable housing.
5” monitor.
Laptop to record the in-
spection for viewing late.
2. Control Air Flow Balloons:
The Central Air Flow Balloons are
designed to block a section inside
of the duct system to create a vacu-
um and send to issue proper clean-
ing and removal of dirt. The CAFB's
come in various sizes and are
pumped (by air pump).
3. Various Brush Units
The cleaning brushes are made of
polypropylene with a twisted steel
core to which the brushes are fas-
tened.
4. Cleaner Formula

use on metals, surfaces, plastics,
rubber and ceramics.
A cleaner atmosphere means more comfortable guests and happier
clientele. They will spend more time enjoying their gaming experi-
ence, casino attractions, restaurants and other entertainment avail-
able to them.
And, satisfied guests are more likely to be repeat customers
who will refer family, friends and colleagues.
