RisingHeat
Summers in Germany are getting hotter, and air conditioning is on its way into central European homes. RisingHeat offers a cleaner way to stay cool: a ceiling system that uses the evaporative cooling of water.
The idea
No harmful refrigerants, far less energy, and easy to retrofit into offices and homes, on walls or ceilings. Beyond the product, the project asks a bigger question: how do we keep our standard of living without further harming the environment?
The construction
Installation is deliberately simple and flexible. Two elements combine freely to cover an entire ceiling; a catch mechanism joins them airtight, and aluminium fins at the core boost the cooling effect.
The outside
The external unit is the heart of the system, creating the cooling effect through a transpiration filter. Compact and inconspicuous by design.
