Purifying Air Conditioner Units

The 'Hybrid Air' Conditions and Purifies the Air within a Home

— October 28, 2016 — Art & Design
Air conditioner units will often work to keep a space cool, but the 'Hybrid Air' is engineered a little differently to help make an environment more comfortable and cleaner. The 'Hybrid Air' keeps an eye on air quality on a consistent basis and will provide clean air as it maintains the temperature for maximum capabilities.

The 'Hybrid Air' is outfitted with self-cleaning functionality that consists of brushes and a UV light that work together to keep the filters clean and disinfected. This aids a more hands-off approach for air conditioner units to ensure that even if users forget to clean the unit regularly that it won't spew dirty air into a living space.

The 'Hybrid Air' air conditioner is the design work of Phoenix Design.
Trend Themes
1. Smart Air Conditioners - The integration of air quality sensors, self-cleaning tools, UV light, and smart features presents an opportunity for more efficient and automated air conditioning units.
2. Integrated Air Quality Monitoring - Air quality monitoring sensors installed in air conditioning units provide the opportunity to enhance and monitor indoor spaces and improve health and wellbeing of the occupants.
3. Sustainable Cooling Systems - More sustainable cooling options such as the 'Hybrid Air' can help mitigate energy waste and promote environmentally friendly solutions in various industries.
Industry Implications
1. Residential Construction - Integrating innovative air conditioning technology like 'Hybrid Air' can improve the comfort and safety of indoor spaces in residential settings.
2. Commercial Real Estate - Enhancing air quality and promoting eco-friendly cooling methods in commercial real estate through technological innovations present opportunities for sustainable building practices and cost savings.
3. Healthcare Industry - Air quality monitoring sensors and automated self-cleaning mechanisms integrated into air conditioning units in healthcare facilities can help reduce airborne infections and promote a safer environment for patients and staff.
