Project Title: Simulation & Testing of a Novel Façade-Integrated Heating & Cooling Concept
Project Summary: The Hydronic Shell is a modular HVAC system integrated into panels that form an insulated shell over the existing building. The system is installed externally, enabling decarbonization and modernization retrofits that are quick, affordable, and noninvasive. The Hydronic Shell provides heating and cooling as well as fresh air ventilation by running pipes along the exterior of the building and generating the needed energy via rooftop, high-efficiency HVAC pump units.
