- A water treatment process utilising photon vibration frequency technology to treat cooling tower water without the use of chemicals or power, achieving 60% to over 90% water savings and 1% to over 5% energy savings.
- An insulating glass retrofit technology that reduces heat gain inside a building, reducing the energy consumption used to heat or cool the building by up to 40%[2].
- The use of innovative construction materials for curtain wall with around 10 times less embodied carbon, and enhanced heat and wind resistance[2].
- A smart waste bin which uses artificial intelligence, robotics and multiple sensors to sort waste with around 90% accuracy to facilitate better recycling efforts[2].
- An indoor air disinfection solution that reduces virus survivability by over 99% within seconds.
