Air conditioners are associated with being oversized, loud and inefficient when it comes to energy usage, so the 'Anio' AC unit aims to change this with a design that is inherently different.
Conceptually designed by René Bade, the 'Anio' air conditioner operates with little to no noise and utilizes a magnetocaloric effect in order to offer both cooling and heating capabilities. This is what enables the 'Anio' unit to be nearly silent when operating and use up to 50% less energy than traditional air conditioner units.
The 'Anio' AC unit is compact in frame and can be implemented into a number of different spaces with ease. The size is purported to be at least 30% smaller than existing models on the market.
