We are excited to announce that Cafe On Air - Huaihai is RESET Air Certified for Commercial Interiors. Often referred to as ‘difficult to find’, it is a very popular coffee shop with some of the best coffee in Shanghai!

From the name, On Air, you can probably already tell that this is a coffee shop that cares about ‘Air’. In order to have healthy indoor air quality, Cafe On Air - Huaihai paid close attention to their material selection design phase. Using bricks for flooring and recycled wood, they limited TVOC emissions to near zero. The combat the Shanghai’s unhealthy air quality on bad days, Cafe On Air installed air purification equipment to guarantee that PM2.5 is kept at a minimum. 

To achieve RESET Air Commercial Interior certification, Cafe On Air was required to consistently ensure that their IAQ, as calculated by the RESET Air Methodology for Data Analysis, met the Basic Performance criteria for 3 consecutive months: 

Additionally, temperature and relative humidity must be continuously monitored although no specific thresholds are prescribed.

To maintain certification, Cafe On Air will need to continue to demonstrate that good air quality can be maintained via their installed air filtration, ventilation equipment, choice of materials and furnishings, and even cleaning products, all of which influence indoor air quality.
