CO₂ FILTRATION FOR BUILDINGS

Healthier indoor air. Up to 15% lower total building energy use. Using the HVAC you already have.

Maxairea removes CO₂ directly from building air using regenerative filtration and intelligent heating, ventilation and air conditioning control (HVAC), helping commercial buildings maintain high indoor air quality while reducing unnecessary energy demand.

The problem

Why ventilation costs so much energy

It happens in four simple steps.

  1. 01

    People breathe out CO₂

    Every person in the building adds CO₂ to the air, all day long.

  2. 02

    Outdoor air is pulled in

    The only way to get the CO₂ down is to dilute it with fresh outdoor air.

  3. 03

    That air must be conditioned

    All that outdoor air has to be heated, cooled and pushed around by fans.

  4. 04

    The energy bill goes up

    Conditioning ventilation air can be up to a quarter of a building's energy bill.

Ventilate less and people notice. Ventilate more and the bill grows. That is the trade-off we remove.

What you gain

Remove the CO₂, and the trade-off disappears.

One change at the air-handling unit, four things you get back.

Fresher air

CO₂ stays low all day, so meeting rooms and busy floors stay comfortable.

Class A air at TEMA Fine Food

Less energy used

Less outdoor air means less heating, less cooling and less fan power.

Up to 15% lower energy use

Keep your HVAC

We add the unit to your existing air handler in the technical room. No new ducts.

Nothing to replace

The CO₂ filter cleans itself while it runs, so there is no cartridge to swap.

How it works

Air in. CO₂ out. Filter restored. Less outdoor air to condition.

Conventional ventilation

Full outdoor-air volume heated, cooled and moved to dilute CO₂.

With Clever Air Care

Up to 50% less outdoor air to condition, with 24 m³ of fresh air per person per hour always retained.

What happens next

Three steps, and you know where you stand.

  1. 1
    Assess your building

    You share building type, occupancy, operating hours, ventilation design and current energy use. We establish a measured baseline.

    About 30 minutes of your time
  2. 2
    See the opportunity

    You receive a building-specific view of achievable outdoor-air reduction, energy saving, indoor air quality impact and installation approach.

    Within two weeks
  3. 3
    Install and verify

    We integrate the system into your air-handling unit around your operating schedule, commission it, and measure performance against the baseline.

    Planned around your building
Where it fits

Buildings with high occupancy and long operating hours.

Offices

Dense meeting rooms and peak-hour occupancy driving oversized ventilation.

Hotels

Guests pay for comfort — savings cannot come from running the system less.

Schools & universities

CO₂ levels affect concentration; Frisse Scholen sets clear IAQ expectations.

Theatres & cinemas

Very high occupancy in short bursts, with large ventilation swings.

Shopping centres

Long operating hours and large conditioned volumes.

Public & healthcare buildings

Strict air-quality requirements alongside energy-performance obligations.

Maxairea is a finalist for the Energy Innovation Award 2026 ↗

Maxairea has been named a finalist for the Energy Innovation Award 2026, recognising our regenerative CO₂ filtration technology for cleaner air and lower building energy use. The award will be presented at Vakbeurs Energie, Brabanthallen Den Bosch, on 6 October.

Before you get started

Questions building owners ask

Will Maxairea replace my current HVAC system?+

No. Clever Air Care is added to a suitable existing air-handling installation. The building assessment confirms how it integrates with your specific system.

How much energy will my building actually save?+

Engineering calculations indicate up to 15% of total building energy use in high-occupancy buildings with long operating hours. Your result depends on occupancy, operating hours, climate, ventilation demand and the current efficiency of your HVAC. We will not quote a figure for your building before the assessment.

Does less outdoor air mean worse indoor air?+

No. CO₂ is removed rather than diluted, and the controller enforces a minimum of 24 m³ of fresh air per person per hour at all times. IAQ is measured continuously and reported.

Will installation disrupt operations or add maintenance?+

Installation takes place in the technical room and is planned around your building's operating schedule. The filter is regenerative, so there is no consumable media to replace as part of routine HVAC maintenance, subject to the final system design and service agreement.

Can the result be defended to an auditor or asset manager?+

Yes. Every project uses a pre-installation measured baseline and post-installation verification of CO₂, airflow and HVAC energy consumption, so the improvement is documented rather than asserted.
