Countries are shifting to Nearly Zero Energy Buildings (NZEB) where all energy is produced on – or near – the building from renewables like solar.

But today most onsite solar resources are wasted, and measures like air-tight windows and insulation can harm indoor air quality. And we all need fresh air. In many countries people spend 90% of time indoors.

Efforts to address climate change are complicated by rocketing demand for cooling in emerging markets. Today’s inefficient air conditioners drive the issues of peak grid demand, and their HFC refrigerants increase the damage.

The world will install 1.6 billion new air conditioners by 2050. Making them 30% more efficient (and without harmful refrigerants) will cut 10% of the CO2e emissions budgeted to keep Earth under 2 ˚C of warming.

AirSolaris heats fresh air: sun heats metal, metal heats air. But it’s how it does this, a unique thermo-optic design that saw the AirSolaris  PLUS  collector hit 70% efficiency in ISO 9806 tests at the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems.

Yet few people have heard about solar air technology, mainly because there has not been a compelling summer use for hot air in buildings.
Until now.

AirSolaris  COOL  will massively cut costs and carbon, all year round, whilst also enhancing indoor air quality. Music to the ears of governments and enterprise.

And with a hardware-as-a-service – or ‘ESCO’ energy-savings – revenue model AirSolaris  COOL  will deliver both healthy margins and a service to customers for less than their existing monthly bills for heating and air conditioning.

After the Paris Agreement – and decision to phase-out HFC refrigerants under the Montreal Protocol – now is the time for solar Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC).

And with AirSolaris  COOL  you get compact solar plus cheaper energy storage, driving cooling that uses less than half the electricity. Which extends electric battery life.
