The Crucial Role of Real-World Testing for Clean Air by Resysten

Air pollution, particularly nitrogen oxides (NOx), poses a significant health and environmental challenge particularly in urban areas. Innovations like our Clean Air by Resysten photocatalytic coating offer promising solutions by actively breaking down these harmful pollutants. However, in order to validate the effectiveness of such technologies, we know that real-world testing in live outdoor environments is essential.

Recent field tests conducted by prominent residential developer, Berkeley Group, and construction specialists Mace Dragados demonstrate the substantial impact of this technology when applied in real settings.


Why Real-World Testing Matters


While laboratory conditions at The International Photocatalyst Standards (IPS) test center provided a controlled environment to measure the effectiveness of our NOx-reducing product to an ISO standard, real-world urban environments present a much more complex and variable set of conditions. Factors such as weather, wind direction, pollution levels, and surface materials can significantly influence the performance of photocatalytic coatings. Therefore, to truly assess the efficacy of Clean Air by Resysten, it’s vital to implement these tests in actual outdoor and indoor environments.

Positive Outcomes from Field Tests


Recent field studies have shown that our Clean Air coating can significantly reduce NOx levels in real-life conditions. For instance, Berkeley Group, a major player in urban development, applied the Clean Air coating at their Regent's View development. Using Airly Air Quality Sensors, their results indicated a measurable 16% drop in NOx concentrations across a 3-month period against baseline, confirming the product’s effectiveness under varied urban construction conditions.

Similarly, the Mace Dragados UK & Ireland team in London has now commenced Phase 2 of their Clean Air trial. The business, a leader in major infrastructure development has applied our technology across a number of sample sites at one of their highest profile projects in London. The outcomes to date have been extremely promising, showing consistent NOx removal rates. These field tests validate that the product does not merely work in theory but also delivers practical benefits in complex, live urban environments. Read the Mace Dragados interim report here.

Implications for Urban Development


These positive results could have far-reaching implications for urban development. By integrating Clean Air into buildings and public spaces, city planners and developers can now actively contribute to improving air quality in affected urban communities. The successes seen by Berkeley Group and Mace Dragados illustrate how this technology can be an integral part of sustainable urban and social investment strategies, ultimately leading to healthier, cleaner places.

 

Real-world testing ensures that innovative solutions like Clean Air by Resysten meet the challenges posed by dynamic urban conditions. It also provides the evidence needed for cities and developers to confidently adopt and invest in these technologies, paving the way for greener and more sustainable futures.


Embrace the change. Test in reality. Clean the air!
