How Should a 3,000 Sq Ft Multi-Service Diagnostic Facility Approach Scenting?

Whichever one your duct work allows, and on most 3,000 sq ft plans that is the Vaayu. Take the arithmetic first. A multi-service facility at this size is room-heavy: collection cubicles, a processing and bench area, one or two imaging rooms with their control spaces, ECG and treadmill rooms, changing cubicles, reporting, records, staff and plant. On a representative drawing those come to about 1,540 sq ft. What survives is the public part - entrance and reception at about 380 sq ft, a waiting arm on each side of the building at about 520 and 400, and a link concourse of about 160 - roughly 1,460 sq ft. Now convert it properly, because this is the first size where ceiling height genuinely changes the answer: the entrance runs up to about 4.2m, so 380 × 4.2 × 0.0929 gives about 148 cubic metres, and the remaining 1,080 sq ft at 3.5m gives 1,080 × 3.5 × 0.0929, about 351. Call it 500 cubic metres of public air. Hold that against the ratings. A SOSA Vaayu at ₹11,999 is rated to 1000m³, so on capacity alone this plan is not close to needing anything larger. The SOSA Angaan at ₹25,999 is rated to 3,000m³, six times what this building holds. So if the question were capacity, it would already be answered. It is not. The real problem at 3,000 sq ft is shape. Two waiting arms off a link concourse is not one open room. A free-standing unit in one arm produces a gradient that fades along that arm, turns the corner weakly and arrives in the other arm as almost nothing, and no amount of extra output fixes that - turning it up simply makes the near arm too strong before the far arm is anything at all. There are two honest responses. If your air handling has duct work you can get at, mount the machine to it and let the supply do the distribution the geometry will not do; both machines can be mounted that way, and at 500 cubic metres the Vaayu is the correct one. If there is no accessible duct - a sealed ceiling, cassette units with no ducted supply, a landlord who will not open the void - then the Angaan's principal advantage is unavailable to you, because as a standalone wall unit it is a bigger point source with the same geometry problem. In that case put one Vaayu at the elbow where the arms meet, accept that each arm fades toward its far end, and spend the difference on nothing at all. Fragrance here is an ambience decision like lighting, seating or signage, it works alongside your ventilation and cleaning rather than instead of them, SOSA products are not medical devices, we make no claim that scenting affects how a centre performs commercially, and the clinician's judgement overrides any scenting plan, including mine.
