Solid-State Cooling Works. Meet the Founders Who Want to Bring it to Market.
A warmer world demands more cooling, but with EVs, data centers, and industry set to increase electricity demand, any cooling technology must begin with efficiency top of mind. Enter solid-state cooling — a revolutionary class of technologies with the promise to transform air conditioning and refrigeration for the 21st century.
Expanding Our Vision of Energy Efficiency
We need energy sources fit for an era of work demand, not heat demand. Fortunately, thanks to the rapid growth and cost decline of solar, wind, and electrification, “firepower” faces inexorable decline.
Why High-Efficiency Cooling Is a Climate Priority
The world leaders of the Group of Seven, better known as G7, released a long communique following their recent meeting in Cornwall, detailing their plans to address the COVID-19 pandemic and “build back better.” In a departure from the previous G7 meeting in 2019, which ended with a…
Passive Cooling in a Tiny House
In this post, we look at some passive cooling strategies that help keep an innovative tiny house comfortable during California summers, without the use of a mechanical cooling system.
