Climate change and global warming drive a rapid increase for air-conditioning worldwide. Buildings account for 37% of CO2 emissions. The Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) sets low carbon building design standards. The F-Gas Directive is deploying lower GWP refrigerants, with average GWP 900 in 2022\. These are flammable, with building design complexities, and release long-term environmental compounds bringing serious health concerns. Commercial buildings need to decrease energy usage, carbon footprint and indoor refrigerants.Cool-phase Hybrid 2 with PCM technology is a single unit natural cooling/heating and heat recovery ventilation system solely designed by Monodraught. Developed from the award-winning Cool-phase Hybrid, the new market-ready development offers faster return-on-investment (ROI), lower building CO2, and lower cooling/heating running costs verses traditional VRF/MVHR. It is designed for office applications across wider geographical export markets.Latest generation PCM chemistry and panel design optimised for office applications offers improved thermal performance. Encompasses a heat recovery fresh air ventilation core to reduce energy losses. A purpose-built mono-block ASHP is uniquely integrated, providing optimal room temperature control and eliminating risks associated with flammable low-GWP refrigerants. A remote cloud control system delivers real-time optimisation. The product footprint is smaller, and product efficiency is increased by reducing air flow paths.Encompassing all key HVAC equipment, the single unit allows new integrated controls to manage cooling/heating/ventilation modes. Indoor air quality, thermal comfort, running costs and CO2 savings are optimised. Discomfort issues that are associated with separate cooling and heat recovery systems that are common in non-domestic applications in UK are avoided.The new Cool-phase Hybrid 2 is specifically designed for office applications and offers a sustainable alternative to VRF/MVHR systems without refrigerants inside the building.Common in offices today, VRF air-conditioning technology uses large quantities of high GWP refrigerants (R410a, GWP 2088) with negative impact on the environment. Approximately 10,000 VRF systems are installed in UK offices every year, leaving a long-term environmental legacy.Monodraught's building engineers design HVAC systems using simulation software, e.g. IES. Our experts will analyse weather files from across key European markets to optimise the PCM panels for export markets.Almost 90% of global Building Automatic Control Systems (BACS) software uses local servers and BACS is adopted in our current products. With the growing interest in Cloud services, we will develop new solutions enabling engineers to remotely monitor installations, check, optimise and provide real-time operating reports -- a first for a PCM HVAC product.

气候变化和全球变暖推动了全球空调的快速增长。建筑物占二氧化碳排放量的37%。建筑物能效指令（EPBD）规定了低碳建筑设计标准。F-Gas指令正在部署较低GWP的制冷剂，到2022年平均GWP为900。这些都是易燃的，建筑设计复杂，并释放长期的环境化合物带来严重的健康问题。商业建筑需要减少能源使用、碳足迹和室内制冷剂。采用PCM技术的Cool-phase Hybrid 2是由Monodraft独家设计的单单元自然冷却/加热和热回收通风系统。从屡获殊荣的Cool-phase Hybrid开发而来，新的市场就绪开发提供了更快的投资回报率（ROI），更低的建筑二氧化碳，以及更低的制冷/制热运行成本，而不是传统的VRF/MVHR。它专为办公室应用而设计，覆盖更广泛的地理出口市场。最新一代PCM化学和面板设计针对办公室应用进行了优化，提供了更好的热性能。包括一个热回收新鲜空气通风核心，以减少能量损失。专门设计的单块式空气源热泵被独特地集成在一起，提供最佳的室温控制，并消除了与易燃的低全球升温潜能值制冷剂相关的风险。远程云控制系统提供实时优化。产品占地面积更小，通过减少空气流动路径提高了产品效率。包含所有关键HVAC设备的单个单元允许新的集成控制来管理冷却/加热/通风模式。室内空气质量、热舒适度、运行成本和二氧化碳减排都得到了优化。避免了英国非家用应用中常见的单独冷却和热回收系统带来的不适问题。全新的Cool-phase Hybrid 2专为办公室应用而设计，为建筑物内不使用制冷剂的VRF/MVHR系统提供了可持续的替代方案。VRF空调技术在当今的办公室中普遍使用大量高GWP制冷剂（R410 a，GWP 2088），对环境有负面影响。每年大约有10，000套VRF系统安装在英国的办公室中，这给环境带来了长期的影响。Monodraft的建筑工程师使用模拟软件（如IES）设计HVAC系统。我们的专家将分析来自欧洲主要市场的天气文件，以优化出口市场的PCM面板。全球近90%的楼宇自动控制系统（BACS）软件使用本地服务器，我们目前的产品采用BACS。随着人们对云服务的兴趣日益浓厚，我们将开发新的解决方案，使工程师能够远程监控安装，检查，优化和提供实时运行报告-这是PCM HVAC产品的第一个。
