About Briiv Aire Garbigailua

Briiv etxe eta bulego espazioetarako diseinatutako aire garbigailua da. Briiv-ek material berriztagarri eta naturalak erabiltzen ditu garbigailu gehienetan aurkitzen diren iragazki estandarren ordez. Iragazki-euskarriak goroldioz, koko-azalaz eta zeta-karbonozko matrize batez eginak daude, eta iragazki-euskarri guztiak konpostagarriak dira. Oinarria eta iragazkiaren karkasa elefante-belarrean oinarritutako polimero bioplastiko batez eginak daude. Unitateak 220 mm-ko altuera du, 160 mm-ko zabalera eta 900 g-ko pisua. Abiadura eta iraupena telefono mugikorreko aplikazio baten bidez edo aurrealdeko ukipenik gabeko interfaze baten bidez ezar daitezke.

About the Urrezko Saria A' Design Award

Briiv Aire Garbigailua Urrezko Saria A' Design Award irabazlea da, lehen mailako, zoragarriak eta nabarmenak diren diseinuei ematen zaien aitorpen izugarri prestijiotsua. Urre-mailako irabazleak berrikuntzaz beteriko, ikuspegi handiko eta distiraz liluragarriak diren sorkuntzak dira, beren diseinatzaileen genioa, jakituria eta trebetasuna islatzen dutenak. Briiv Aire Garbigailua oso goraipatua, joera-markatzailea eta monumentala den asmakizuna izatea espero da, balio aurrekaririk gabea eskaintzen duena. Urrezko Saria A' Design Award irabazi duen diseinu hau proiektu ikusgarri eta errespetatua da, artearen, zientziaren, diseinuaren eta teknologiaren mugak oso onuragarriro zabaltzen dituena. Briiv Aire Garbigailua desira-sentimendu biziak sortzen dituen, grina pizten duen, sormena bultzatzen duen eta liluratzen gaituen lana da.

Press Kit

Unique Properties: briiv is a new take on the air purifier. Using renewable and natural materials to filter the air in your home or office environment, briiv creates clean, safe, breathable air via an innovative filter system. briiv’s filters of moss, coconut husk and a silk-carbon matrix perform as effectively as an air purifier of the same low-power class. The filter media are compostable and briiv connects to smart home applications for control and to monitor usage for replacement filters.
Dimensions & Packaging: briiv stands at 220mm high and 160mm wide with a total weight of just 900g.
Tags: sustainable, clean air, air purification, low power, bioplastic, air purifier, smart home
Production Technology: Vibers elephant-grass based bio-plastic polymer is used for the base and filter housing. Moss, coconut and a silk-carbon matrix were utilised for the filter media for their biodegradable traits.
Design Challenge: The most difficult obstalce was to stratify the filter media in such a way that a. was as effective as HEPA at the same power level utiliesed by competitors and b. to maintain airflow through the unit in order to provide a clean air delivery rate, the CADR, comparable to HEPA competitors.
Research: Our primary goal was to reduce waste from HEPA filters which are found in the majority of air purifiers. By replacing HEPA filters with biodegradable filter media, briiv saves on landfill and the usage of finite resources such as crude oil. Effectiveness of our filter media versus HEPA was determined using air quality monitors for in-and-outflow of air mixed with common particulate matter at various dimensional scale from PM2.5 to PM10 as primary indicators or change in air quality.
Inspiration: Air purification is rife by plastics, glass and other unsustainable materials. We felt there is a better way to do things and set out to incorporate bioplastics and as much renewable material as possible into briiv to deliver clean air that's better for the planet, our increasingly scarce resources and for energy usage.
Project Duration: The project began in late 2018, developed into 2019 and launched on Kickstarter in April 2019. briiv continues to crowdfund on Indiegogo and is already receiving wholesale orders from across the globe.
Operation Flow: briiv can be operated either via the smartphone app or via a touchless interface on the front of the unit. Speed and duration can be set on both app and interface. The touchless interface was implemented as a direct response to reducing the risk of cross-contamination realised throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.
