You live at the edge of passion, tenacity, and style. You are accustomed to the best life

has to offer and have an eye for anticipating greatness. You demand sophistication

and finesse in everything you experience, and your fundamental values are reflected

most at home.

Luxury living is grounded by excellence: in comfort, security, beauty, and design. Yet

the most critical element to leading a powerful life is often overlooked—the source of

your vitality and your most essential asset—your health and well-being.

Ambient conditions within your home can influence almost every aspect of your life,

from your moods and energy levels to how well you sleep and your performance

throughout the day.

You can create a healthier, happier, and better lifestyle environment for yourself and

for your family. Not just today and tomorrow, but for generations to come. It all starts

at home, with your most intimate and valuable possession, the place where you live,

sleep, work, and play.

• 65% of outdoor air particle inhalation occurs indoors.

• Airborne pollutants can exacerbate asthma symptoms and lead to long term health issues including cancer.

• Many air purifiers generate and emit ozone; a gas that is dangerous for lung health.

• Removing airborne irritants brings great relief for two major health problems: Allergies and Asthma.

• Volatile or semi-volatile organic compounds can be emitted by building materials, furnishings, fabrics, and cleaning compounds.

• Stovetop cooking (both gas and electric) is one of the most common sources of indoor air pollution as it produces particulate matter, including polycyclic aromatic hydro-carbons (PAHs).

• Air filtration reduces odors from sources such as kitchen fumes and pets, which has a positive effect on moods, thoughts, behavior, and dreams.

Air Purification intelligently and efficiently targets particulate matter, volatile organic compounds, allergens, pathogens, and other air pollutants as they arise.

Indoor air quality can be up to 5 times worse than it is outdoors. This is due to invasive outdoor contaminants such as smog and pollen, and indoor contributors including cooking, organic by-products of pets and pests, and off-gassing of furniture.

H O W I T W O R K S

DARWIN Premier uses recessed sensors placed across your home to continuously measure air pollution levels and communicate with the DARWIN Hub to remediate poor indoor air quality in real time. The user-friendly DARWIN App presents historical data, educational information about key contaminants, an index that rates your home along a 1-100 score, and an interactive floor plan so that you can easily visualize air quality trends and keep track of the health of your home.

• Drinking water quality often fails to meet the Maximum Contaminant Level Goals (MCLGs) set by the US EPA.

• Inorganic, organic, and biological water contaminants, especially in high doses, can be toxic and impair human health.

• Conventional water treatment does not always remove contaminants effectively, or contaminants may be introduced by distribution infrastructure.

• Advanced membrane technologies can significantly reduce the presence of contaminants in water.

• Although boiling water/distillation is effective in removing biological contaminants and some chemicals (e.g., chlorine, trihalomethanes, etc.), it does not remove all chemicals and may not remove sediment.

• Bottled water can contain chemicals leached from the plastic, especially if they are exposed to hot or cold temperatures.

Water Filtration delivers great tasting water that is healthier to drink and cook with, and leaves your hair and skin feeling softer and smoother.

Water comprises over half our body weight and we rely on it to ensure that our daily physiological needs are met. Although we often take the quality of tap water for granted, it can contain pollutants such as bacteria, heavy metals, and public water additives like chlorine. Contaminated drinking water can lead to a spectrum of short and long term illnesses, including autoimmune and chronic kidney disease.

H O W I T W O R K S

DARWIN Premier employs best-in-class filtration technologies customized through on-site water testing, third-party laboratory analysis, and regional specific research dating back 10 years. Our solutions target harmful biological elements, chemicals, and bacteria, going above and beyond state and federal water requirements to mitigate health risks and enhance well-being.

• Light has a direct affect on our cognitive ability, mood, and alertness.

• There are multiple temporally-regulated (circadian) processes in our body that are controlled by a pacemaker in the brain called the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN), which is synchronized by light in a process called “circadian photoentrainment”

• Circadian disruption has been associated with: poor sleep and lethargy, increased mental and physical stress, anxiety and depression, cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes , higher incidence of breast cancer, and cancer progression.

• When our circadian rhythms are misaligned with the solar day, we suffer from symptoms similar to those of jet lag.

• Evening exposure to blue-rich light in the hours before bedtime increases the time taken to fall asleep, reduces sleep duration, and suppressed slow-wave (deep) sleep—reducing sleep quality.

• Exposure to bright light during the daytime, especially in the morning, is significantly correlated with improved sleep quality and lower fatigue.

Circadian Lighting mirrors natural sunlight patterns to help regulate your body’s circadian rhythm, energy levels, performance, and sleep quality.

After generations of evolution, our body clocks still rely on the natural rhythm of sunlight to regulate our circadian rhythm, which synchronizes many aspects of our physiology, metabolism and behavior, including our appetite, sleep cycle, energy levels, and productivity. Today we spend most of our time indoors with insufficient lighting or prolonged exposure to artificial light, which disrupts our circadian rhythm.

DARWIN Premier is calibrated to your home’s cardinal orientation and delivers nature-aligned color temperature and intensity throughout the day and into the evening. You can also choose from a menu of mood-specific wellness experiences. Our high-quality lighting solutions deliver exceptional color rendering to enhance overall aesthetics in your home.

Light Impacts our Energy Levels, Moods & Sleep

S C I E N C E O F S L E E P

• The timing of sleep is largely determined by a specific part of the brain which regulates the 24-hour sleep/wake cycle, otherwise known as a circadian rhythm.

• Despite recommendations from the National Sleep Foundation that adults sleep seven to nine hours a night, over one-third of all American adults report not getting enough sleep.

• The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has flagged poor quality sleep or sleep deprivation as a public health concern.

• Poor sleep quality has been associated with overall dissatisfaction with life.

• Over the long-term, lack of sleep can lead to chronic health conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, obesity and depression.

• Although sleep is regulated by internal factors (e.g., genetic sleep need, circadian rhythm), it can also be influenced by external factors, including an individual’s behaviors/motivations (e.g., staying up late), habits (e.g., waking up by an alarm clock), and the environment.

Comfort Elements mitigate environmental disturbances to promote restorative rest, and wake you gently in the morning to prepare you for an energized day.

Over a third of American adults do not get the recommended amount of sleep per night. Inappropriate exposure to blue indoor light and screen time in the evening suppresses melatonin, leading to delayed sleep onset, shorter sleep duration, lethargy in the morning, and fatigue during the day.

H O W I T W O R K S

DARWIN Premier creates a transitional ambiance to prepare you for restful sleep. Throughout the night, DARWIN filters the air, helps mitigate light pollution, and regulates thermal comfort to help you get a great night’s rest. To help ensure you wake up refreshed, our carefully orchestrated Dawn Simulation program wakes you at the desired time with incremental light and temperature to mirror the rising sun, blackout blinds that open to admit natural light, and a gentle biophilic soundscape.
