TaskAir® delivers a relatively small volume of freshly oxygenated air direct into the breathing zone of the workstation occupant. The best cleanest air available, uncontaminated by the general room air. Air change in the breathing zone, is constant and effective.

TaskAir® is a simple personal air distribution technique that gives employees the individual power over their personal comfort, air quality and air movement. Coupled with Direct Outside Air Systems (DOAS) it is like breathing fresh air while in an adjustable, comfortable environment.

TaskAir® makes it easy to address differences in personal comfort requirements, resulting in University study predictions of productivity improvements ranging from 2% to 12%.
