We're excited to present the fourth video in the Net Zero Heat programme’s cohort series, featuring Airex.
Innovate UK’s Net Zero Heat programme accelerates innovation to help the UK transition away from gas for heating. The programme’s cohort includes UK companies crucial to this goal, working together to overcome growth barriers.
Airex, a climate tech company, aims to combat fuel poverty and climate change with cost-effective smart home solutions. Airex designed the world's first smart air brick to help reduce energy demand and manage air quality in homes.
Heating buildings accounts for 36% of CO2 emissions in Europe, with poorly insulated buildings causing higher emissions. Air bricks contribute up to 15% of a home’s heat loss, wasting 34,000 GWh/year in the UK. Airex’s solution reduces this waste by intelligently controlling airflow, revolutionising the building retrofit market with easy-to-install, user-friendly technology for connected homes.
