General information
- Short Summary
- This spin-out from the University of Cambridge is seeking partners for research and development (R&D) and joint investment opportunities to integrate its technology into heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) and building systems. By integrating its patented condensation particle counter system, buildings can improve occupant health and productivity while enabling better monitoring of air quality.
- Full Description
-
The company was founded in 2023 as a spin-out from the University of Cambridge, by four directors with a mission to transform the way buildings breathe. Their goal is to improve indoor air quality for occupants while optimizing energy efficiency.
Traditional PM2.5 measurements fail to detect 90% of airborne particles. The true culprits—particles smaller than 300 nm—comprise 90% of airborne particles and can penetrate deep into the lungs, presenting significant health risks.
The team has developed a patented condensation particle counter technology capable of detecting smaller particles, offering a breakthrough in air quality monitoring.
It allows users to analyse the quality of air circulating within HVAC systems by integrating a cost-effective monitoring solution into existing systems. By continuously tracking air quality, this technology not only supports better health and productivity for building occupants but also enables more effective monitoring of clean air systems.
The company is actively seeking partners interested in incorporating this advanced air quality monitoring technology into its HVAC and building systems. It is open to discussions around R&D partnerships and joint investment opportunities. - Advantages and Innovations
-
• Patented condensation particle counter technology designed to detect particles as small as 10 nm, providing enhanced sensitivity for air quality monitoring.
• Advanced analytical tools that give customers clear insights into air quality, helping facilitate better decisions. By using real-time data, the system optimizes the recycling of conditioned air, reducing energy use and environmental impact.
• It goes beyond conventional methods, providing precise and affordable measurements to ensure your space is safeguarded against these tiny yet harmful particles.
• It enables both new and existing HVAC systems to be upgraded, enhancing performance through more effective air quality monitoring. - Stage of Development
