Company profile
researched Aug 2026Respired (trading as Rensair) develops air purification hardware and connected software aimed at improving indoor air quality and reducing the energy consumption of existing commercial HVAC systems. The company positions its offering as an "air quality ecosystem" combining filtration units with monitoring and cloud software, marketed under the theme of "hacking" existing HVAC rather than replacing it, so that buildings can lower running costs and carbon output without large capital replacement projects.
The product line includes the Core and Core i air purifiers, a Compact unit, the AirBubbl, Rensair Cloud and the Rensair Air Monitor, together with replacement filter kits. The company states its HEPA filter and light-based technology removes 99.97% of pollutants, listing viruses, bacterial spores, pollen, mould spores, fungi, vehicle particulates, dust mite allergens, pet dander, odours, tobacco smoke, household dust and staphylococcus. It also offers HVAC commissioning and demand-controlled ventilation (SDCV) approaches, and publishes case studies covering an insurance company office estate, a university and ambulance services. [0]
