"Buildings account for 44% of the UK's greenhouse gas emissions, with 26% linked to domestic homes (BRE, 2012), while still over 2 million people live in Fuel Poverty in England & Wales alone. While the UK government has subsidised most easy-to-treat energy efficiency measures over the last few years (e.g. ECO funding for loft or cavity wall insulation), reviews of these support schemes (ECO,2016) flagged cost-effectiveness as a key requirement. Furthermore, traditional ventilation methods in existing, older homes still rely on occupants' behaviour, risking their health, well-being and comfort.'AirEx' is an innovative smart home technology that automatically regulates the air-flow through air-vents in the home, based on atmospheric conditions & air quality, via its cloud-based algorithm. AirEx has the potential to deliver significant savings on householders' energy bills without compromising air-quality and any unintended consequences (condensation, damp).Furthermore, the real-time valuable data collected by AirEx system in a central database allows facility managers, social landlords, multi-property owners to make informed, strategic decisions on their maintenance strategies - enables targeted preventative interventions, rather than reactive repair work.The objective of this project is to i) develop and field test a working prototype, ii) identify optimum business model for commercialisation. Our company will harness experience in building energy efficiency, in-home sensor deveopment to enter this sector."

建筑物占英国温室气体排放量的44%，其中26%与家庭住宅有关（BRE，2012），而仅在英格兰和威尔士就有超过200万人生活在燃料贫困中。虽然英国政府在过去几年中对最容易处理的能源效率措施进行了补贴（例如，用于阁楼或空心墙隔热的ECO资金），但对这些支持计划的审查（ECO，2016）将成本效益标记为关键要求。此外，现有的老房子的传统通风方法仍然依赖于居住者的行为，危及他们的健康，福祉和舒适度。“AirEx”是一项创新的智能家居技术，可根据大气条件和空气质量，通过其基于云的算法自动调节家中通风口的气流。AirEx有可能在不影响空气质量和任何意外后果的情况下为住户节省大量能源费用此外，由AirEx系统在中央数据库中收集的实时有价值的数据允许设施管理者、社会房东、多财产所有者对其维护策略做出明智的战略决策-实现有针对性的预防性干预，而不是被动的维修工作。该项目的目标是i）开发和现场测试工作原型，ii）确定商业化的最佳商业模式。我们公司将利用在建筑节能、家用传感器开发方面的经验进入这一领域。"
