What makes ventilation difficult in Bangalore?

Bangalore's rapid growth has worsened AQI. Despite a mild climate, sealed modern apartments trap VOCs, CO₂ from occupants, and construction PM2.5. Mild temperatures make this one of India's most ERV-friendly cities.

Which machine is right for Bangalore?

Revita ERV + MERV-13

Bangalore's mild temperatures (rarely above 36°C) mean standard ERV handles heat recovery efficiently without needing active cooling. The Revita's 80–90% heat recovery slightly pre-conditions incoming air. MERV-13 captures construction PM2.5 — upgrade to HEPA-13 near active construction sites or for medical-grade environments.

For Bangalore we specify Revita ERV as the default, with MERV-13 (HEPA-13 near construction) filtration. Models: Revita INA-MFQR series (residential), Ventura INA-QRXF (commercial). Model-by-model airflow, static pressure and power figures are on the spec sheets.

Typically installed in: Apartments · IT offices · Schools · Co-working spaces · Villas.
Also worth considering: RHP for large commercial or institutional projects requiring precise temperature control

How is a system sized here?

Sizing is driven by occupancy, not floor area — CO2 comes from people, so a small crowded flat needs more air than a large empty one. ASHRAE 62.1 sets the airflow per person; that number picks the unit. Bangalore then adds two local constraints: a summer peak of 28–36°C, which decides how much heat recovery is worth paying for, and humidity of 50–70% RH, which decides whether plain recovery is enough or whether active dehumidification is needed.

Bangalore questions

What do people in Bangalore ask?

Bangalore sees an AQI range of roughly 80–140 through the year. Bangalore's rapid growth has worsened AQI. Despite a mild climate, sealed modern apartments trap VOCs, CO₂ from occupants, and construction PM2.5. Mild temperatures make this one of India's most ERV-friendly cities. That range is what sets the filter grade: we specify MERV-13 (HEPA-13 near construction) here.
Revita ERV + MERV-13. We recommend the Revita energy recovery ventilator for Bangalore. Bangalore's mild temperatures (rarely above 36°C) mean standard ERV handles heat recovery efficiently without needing active cooling. The Revita's 80–90% heat recovery slightly pre-conditions incoming air. MERV-13 captures construction PM2.5 — upgrade to HEPA-13 near active construction sites or for medical-grade environments.
MERV-13 (HEPA-13 near construction). Filter grade follows the local AQI rather than a national default — MERV-13 handles ordinary urban particulate, while HEPA-13 is warranted where AQI regularly passes 200 or where dust and industrial sources are present. In Bangalore the range is 80–140.
Yes. InAir supplies and installs across India from its Hyderabad base, and Bangalore in Karnataka is covered end to end — free site survey, duct design, supply, commissioning with measured airflow readings, and handover. A typical residential installation is commissioned ten to twelve days after order. Send a floor plan to sales@in-air.in and an engineer returns a sized proposal.
Sizing starts from occupancy rather than floor area, because CO₂ is produced by people. ASHRAE 62.1 gives the airflow per person; that figure sets the unit, and the Bangalore summer peak of 28–36°C plus humidity of 50–70% RH decides whether plain heat recovery is enough or whether active dehumidification is required.
