New Delhi, October 28, 2020: Bharti Realty,the real estate arm of Bharti Enterprises, has installed ESP+ UV filters in all common areas of Worldmark Aerocity, and the entire buildings of Bharti Crescent and Airtel Centre to provide the safest possible working environment for its employees, tenants and partners.

Coronavirus is believed to be contagious and can be transmitted via air. HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) systems installed in commercial buildings can potentially spread this virus across when high-speed air flows past an infected person to others. This calls for upgrading the HVAC system to decrease the risk of spread through this route and help tenants feel more comfortable amid all the uncertainty about the coronavirus.

UV filters are the latest and the most effective technology to fight the virus and the ESP is supposed to take care of even 1-micron particles keeping the premises dust free and virus free. Company's marquee office property 'Atelier' which comes as an ideal example of a 21st Century Development, designed with the new norm of post-Covid working much ahead of its time already boasts of ESP+UV filters in its entire facility. Along with the TFA (Treated Fresh Air Units), MERV 13 filters at all its properties installed in the first phase, now Bharti Realty's commercial projects follows installation of ESP+UV Filters at its properties.

Sayal, Whole Time Director & CEO, Bharti Realty Limited said, 'With research showing the coronavirus may spread through shared air, it is imperative for developers to upgrade the HVAC systems of buildings to keep the indoor air as virus-free as possible.
