Cognitive Air™ for Better Air in Office Pods
Designed to banish brain fog from workplace pods.
Adaptive CO₂-controlled ventilation, filtered incoming air and Ambient Vectoring™ work together automatically to help maintain fresh and comfortable conditions throughout the day.
From quick calls to all-day work in office pods
Many office pods are primarily designed for calls and short meetings. We believe an acoustic workspace should provide comfortable conditions for much longer.
That's why we developed Cognitive Air™ — Vetrospace's approach to automatically managing air quality and thermal comfort inside the pod, while maintaining the acoustic privacy you entered the space for in the first place.
The result is an office pod designed to support concentration, comfort and cognitive performance throughout the working day — regardless of whether it is used for individual work, meetings or collaboration.
How Cognitive Air™ manages air quality in office pods
Cognitive Air™ brings together three technologies that automatically adapt, filter and direct air as the office pod is used.
IT ADAPTS.
Adaptive CO₂ Control
There are no ventilation settings for users to manage. The office pod monitors conditions and adjusts ventilation automatically, because air quality can deteriorate before occupants consciously notice the change.
Sensors measure CO₂ levels both inside and outside the pod. This dual-point measurement helps the system adapt ventilation according to actual occupancy and the CO₂ level in the surrounding air.
If the CO₂ level outside the pod is already elevated, the system can avoid increasing ventilation unnecessarily when doing so would offer little improvement. This helps balance conditions inside the pod with energy consumption.
Why it matters: The pod responds to changing conditions automatically, helping maintain an environment that supports concentration and comfort throughout the day.
IT filters.
Spectral Capture
Incoming air is filtered before it enters the office pod, helping reduce dust and larger airborne particles while also protecting the ventilation system.
For environments with higher air-cleanliness requirements, filtration can be upgraded with HEPA H13.
Why it matters: Cleaner incoming air and reliable ventilation performance over time.
See the conditions around you
Air quality is invisible. Cognitive Air™ makes it visible.
The Vetrospace control panel gives you an immediate view of conditions both inside and outside the pod, including:
CO₂ · Temperature · Humidity
Lighting and optional air conditioning can be controlled from the same interface.
You don't need to guess what's happening inside your workspace. You can see it.
The science of sustained focus
Why office pod air quality matters for concentration
In an open office, exhaled CO₂ disperses into a large volume of air. Inside a compact office pod, CO₂ levels can rise faster. Because CO₂ is invisible and odourless, changing conditions may go unnoticed until concentration begins to fade or the space starts to feel uncomfortable.
Research has linked elevated CO₂ levels and poorer indoor air quality with weaker performance in cognitively demanding tasks. In a Harvard-led study, declining air quality was associated with reductions in cognitive performance of up to 50%.
Cognitive Air™ monitors conditions and adapts ventilation automatically—helping maintain an office pod environment that supports concentration and comfort throughout the working day.
Effective office pod ventilation is about more than litres per second
Ventilation is typically compared in litres of air per second (l/s). But effective office pod ventilation also depends on how the air is filtered, how airflow adapts to occupancy and where discharged air goes.
Cognitive Air™ manages these elements as one automated system—helping maintain comfortable conditions for focused work throughout the day.
