GREEN AIR CONDITIONING
One of the promising cleantech startups in the region is enVerid Systems, addressing carbon emissions associated with air conditioning and improving indoor air quality.
Air conditioning accounts for as much as 70% of UAE electricity consumption in the UAE and produces millions of tonnes of carbon dioxide annually. Based on Sorbent Ventilation Technology (SVT), enVerid’s non-toxic tech solution cleans indoor air, and helps to reduce outside air requirements by as much as 80%. As a result, annual HVAC energy costs can be reduced by up to 40%, substantially lowering a building’s energy intensity and carbon emissions.”
“Sorbents have been safely used for decades to purify air in places like the International Space Station, remove odors in buildings, and protect workers exposed to products that produce unhealthy fumes. enVerid’s sorbents chemically and molecularly attract and capture unhealthy gaseous contaminants, making the air healthy again,” says Israel Biran, co-founder and Senior Vice President, enVerid Systems.
