Hydronic Shell Technologies

Half of the world's buildings must be retrofit to net-zero by 2040 in order to meet global emission reduction targets. We’re developing a new HVAC technology that is integrated within a super-insulated facade panel to form a new shell around an existing building that will dramatically reduce energy consumption while providing superior indoor air quality and thermal comfort. Our system incorporates advanced building scanning technology as well as off-site prefabrication and modular assembly methods to reduce project costs and minimize installation time. Because our system is installed completely from the exterior, the retrofit causes minimal disruption to tenants within the building. Low installation costs combined with large energy cost savings results in compelling economics that will lead to widespread adoption and will be a major solution to reducing CO2 emissions from existing buildings around the world.
