Should Vaayu Placement Be Decided Before Electrical Points, Ceilings and HVAC Are Finalised?

No, and also not after - placement is decided at the same moment as those drawings, because it is an output of them rather than a separate decision to be slotted in somewhere. The question as asked treats placement as a preference that a person can hold and hand to the contractor. It is not. It is the answer you get when two drawings are laid over each other, and until both exist nobody in the room has the information, however senior they are. The reflected ceiling plan matters for a reason that is not the obvious one: people assume it matters because it shows where a unit can be mounted, but it matters more because it shows where the air leaves and where it comes back, and supplies, returns, bulkheads and the soffit together give a floor a direction of travel that nobody draws and every room has.

The second drawing is the furniture layout, and it does one job - it tells you where people stand still. Not where they walk. A lobby has a queue position at the desk, a seating group, a lift-lobby wait, and a large amount of floor that people cross and never occupy. Only the still positions matter, because somebody walking through a corridor for four seconds is not who the level was set for. Lay the two over each other and the rule is short: the unit goes upstream of the still people, never downstream. Two positions fail this reliably - directly beneath or beside a supply diffuser, where the output is thrown along the ceiling rather than into the room, and beside the return, where it is collected and taken away. Both look sensible on an elevation and both are wrong on a section.

Which brings me to the real failure mode, and it is organisational rather than technical. Placement usually gets decided by whoever has authority in the meeting. The interior designer places it on an elevation, where it should sit symmetrically with the signage. The client places it where it cannot be seen, which is usually behind the desk in the one part of the lobby nobody stands in. The contractor places it near a socket that already exists. None of those three arguments is about air, and all three are made confidently. The fix is procedural: put placement on the agenda of the RCP sign-off meeting with the furniture layout on the table, and refuse to answer it anywhere else. The other half is what the unit must stay away from - the doors of the closed meeting suites and the edge of the open desk floor.

Fragrance does not remove or reduce anything in the air, it treats nothing and relieves nothing, and I make no claim that it does. Closed one-to-one meeting rooms and employee workstations are never scented. A named seat is kept genuinely fragrance-free and offered rather than requested. It works alongside ventilation, cleaning and housekeeping, never instead of them, and the visitor's preference overrides any plan.
