BOOTES Reality launches Clean Air Homes First time in India

AQI stands for "Air Quality Index," a system used to measure and report the quality of air in a specific location. It provides an easy-to-understand way to gauge how polluted the air is and its potential impact on health. The index typically includes various pollutants like particulate matter (PM2.5), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), sulfur dioxide (SO2), and ozone (O3), among others. AQI is to be think about everywhere, outdoor and indoor. A poor indoor air quality (IAQ), reflected in high AQI levels, can significantly impact health.

Long-term exposure to indoor pollutants also increases the risk of heart disease, stroke, and even cancer. A solution is an indoor air purifier but thanks to newer technologies, the air inside your home could remain completely clean without an air purifier. This has become possible. Amid rising pollution in big cities, real estate companies are launching “Low AQI Homes.” This trend is quickly catching up in cities like Noida, Delhi, and Gurugram, where poor air quality has pushed developers to introduce such projects.

What are Low AQI Homes?

These homes are designed in such a way that the air inside remains significantly cleaner than outside. They use advanced technologies like Nordic systems, air filtration, smart ventilation, and low-emission materials. In simple terms, these homes create a clean air zone indoors.

Which companies have launched Low AQI Homes?

BOOTES Realty has launched Aspire Leisure Valley in Greater Noida West (Techzone 4) and Aspire Silicon City in Sector 76, Noida. The company claims indoor AQI levels below 50. According to Bootes Reality , Managing Director Deepak Rai, this is the first time Nordic technology is being applied in residential projects in India. The company has developed an integrated system called FreshAir Pro, designed to maintain indoor AQI below 50 and control CO₂ levels while supplying fresh air and clean water. He also claimed that although bringing outside air indoors usually increases energy consumption, their heat exchanger can recover up to 85% of energy, reducing electricity usage. BOOTES is also described as India’s first net-zero real estate company.

Godrej Properties, in its premium project 'Godrej South Estate' in Delhi features a Centrally Treated Fresh Air (CTFA) system integrated with VRF air conditioning. Nimbus Group launched The Arista Luxe on the Noida Expressway, also claiming indoor AQI below 50.

How does this technology work?

According to Deepak Rai, the system is a built-in (integrated) mechanism called FreshAir Pro. In Recirculation Mode, the indoor air is pulled into the system where filters remove dust, hair, and larger particles and IFD technology kills bacteria. Electrostatic filters capture fine particles like PM2.5Multi-layer filters remove remaining pollutants and gases. After all this, clean air is sent back into the room.

In Fresh Air Intake Mode, sensors detect high CO₂ levels and fresh air is brought in through ducts which passes through multiple filtration stages. A heat exchanger adjusts temperature to room level and clean air is supplied while polluted air is expelled.

Regular air purifiers only circulate indoor air and they do not bring in fresh oxygen. When CO₂ levels rise above 1000 ppm, it can cause fatigue and headaches. Opening windows allows polluted air (PM2.5, dust, gases) to enter.

In contrast, this system monitors CO₂, PM2.5, VOCs, and temperature in real time and automatically switches modes which in turn ensures continuous supply of filtered fresh air.

Future of Clean Air Homes

Experts believe Low AQI homes will soon become mainstream, not just for residences but also for office spaces.
