Healthy living – Eliminate airborne germs, ensure quality of life

Germ-free indoor air thanks to UV-C technology – for allergy sufferers, seniors, children, and anyone who wants to live healthily

Even in well-insulated, modern residential buildings, indoor air is not automatically hygienically clean. Germs, mold spores, viruses, and odors enter the home through outside air, people, furniture, textiles, and air conditioning systems – and remain there. This can lead to health problems, especially in bedrooms, living rooms, or children’s rooms: allergies, asthma, infections, concentration problems.

oxytec UV-C solutions continuously clean the air in recirculation mode – silently, with low maintenance, and completely chemical-free.

FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions

How can Oxytec help to permanently eliminate airborne germs indoors?

Our systems combine UV-C technology, plasma modules, and—if necessary—activated carbon filters to deactivate or filter germs, bacteria, viruses, and mold spores directly in the air. This not only improves air quality, but also specifically reduces the risk of infection and allergen exposure.

Which technologies are used in which living areas?

  • UV-C technology: for germ reduction in bedrooms, living rooms, and children’s rooms
  • Plasma technology: for hallways, cloakrooms, utility rooms, or interior bathrooms
  • Activated carbon filter (optional): for VOC pollution from furniture, paints, or cleaning agents
    All systems are compact, suitable for continuous operation, and can be retrofitted inconspicuously.

Can the systems be integrated without an existing ventilation system?

Yes – Oxytec offers decentralized, modular air purification units that:

  • Work independently of existing ventilation technology
  • Are available as wall-mounted, floor-standing, or ceiling-mounted units
  • Can also be used as mobile variants (e.g., for guest rooms, vacation apartments)
    This makes implementation in existing apartments and buildings much easier.

How loud are the devices when in operation? Are they suitable for living spaces?

Yes – our devices are specially designed for residential environments:

  • Whisper-quiet operation (< 30 dB depending on model)
  • Modern, discreet design in white or stainless steel look
  • Maintenance-friendly design for easy filter or lamp replacement
    They can be used in bedrooms or children’s rooms without any problems.

What legal or normative requirements play a role?

The following requirements are relevant:

  • Workplace Ordinance (ArbStättV) for home office workplaces
  • Infection Protection Act (IfSG), especially for multi-unit buildings
  • DIN EN 16798 (ventilation in non-residential buildings) – as a guide for renovations
    Our systems help to comply with minimum hygiene standards and, if desired, automatically document air purification.

How is the maintenance of the equipment organized?

Maintenance is simple and predictable:

  • UV-C tubes: replace approximately every 9,000 hours
  • Plasma units: maintenance-free or retrofittable, depending on the model
  • Filters (if present): Replace 1–2 times per year
    On request, we offer maintenance contracts or training for caretakers and operators.

Are there any subsidy programs for air purification in residential areas?

Yes, in many cases:

  • Subsidies for healthy indoor environments (especially for families, allergy sufferers, seniors)
  • Regional environmental and energy programs for decentralized ventilation solutions
  • Subsidies for barrier-free or health-conscious renovations
