Energy Storage Revolution

PCM (Phase Change Material) based systems

One of the biggest challenges in HVAC systems (and beyond) is the efficient storage of energy. Traditional energy storage methods are often inadequate, inefficient, or costly, leading to wasted resources and increased operational expenses.

Phase Change Material (PCM) is an innovative solution that revolutionizes the way energy is stored. PCM are materials that undergo a phase change process, transitioning from solid to liquid and vice versa at a specific temperature. During this phase change, PCMs absorb or release a significant amount of energy in the form of heat or cold. This enables the storage of large amounts of energy in a compact space, making them ideal for use in HVAC systems.

PCM-based heat storage units are characterized by high energy efficiency, allowing for temperature stabilization in buildings, which leads to significant energy savings. Additionally, PCM technology is environmentally friendly, as it reduces CO2 emissions and supports sustainable development. By using PCM, HVAC systems become more reliable, efficient, and eco-friendly. 

PCM technology is not only applicable to HVAC systems but also finds use in many other fields, such as electronics, automotive, and construction. Its versatility and efficiency make it one of the most promising solutions in the field of energy storage.

4x Smaller Footprint

Storage units based on Phase Change Material (PCM) technology are four times smaller than traditional energy storage units. This allows them to occupy less space and makes them much easier to install.

30 to 50% Lower Costs

The use of storage units based on Phase Change Material (PCM) technology allows for a reduction in energy costs by 30% to 50% compared to traditional storage units. Due to their high energy efficiency and heat recovery capabilities, PCM-based systems contribute to significant operational savings.

GROWTH OF THE HEAT RECOVERY VENTILATION SYSTEM MARKET

The heat recovery ventilation (HRV) market is growing rapidly, with a projected annual growth rate of 9.72% from 2023 to 2028. The main drivers of this growth are the increasing demand for improved indoor air quality (IAQ) and the rising number of construction projects in both the residential and commercial sectors.

Increasing environmental awareness and stricter energy efficiency regulations are driving the growing interest in HRV systems. Regulations are setting higher standards for building ventilation, stimulating demand for advanced technologies. These systems are becoming increasingly attractive to both developers and building owners.
