Milestone 5 achieved
2021-10-05
HyWin reaches milestone 5 of the agreement with Swiss Climate Foundation. This was the most demanding part of the test program: high solar radiation and outdoor temperatures combined with humidity. We were able to demonstrate that the HyWin facade could keep the room at a comfortable temperature, without any additional cooling measures. We were able to...
Milestone Achievement
2021-04-28
The Swiss Climate Foundation informs us that the Milestone 4 report has been accepted. At the end of the winter season 20/21, HyWin is on track and 4 out of 6 milestones agreed with the Climate Foundation have been met. We would like to thank the Swiss Climate Foundation for the great and efficient collaboration!...
One of the main benefits of the HyWin system is that it allows to heat or to cool the room from the facade element without any additional heating or cooling in the room. Subsequently, the often-asked question is the heating or cooling power of the HyWin facade. After several weeks of measurements under different conditions,...
One of the important answers the test unit must deliver is, how well the room temperature is controlled under varying outside temperatures and solar radiation. The system monitors more than 50 different measuring points, recording temperatures, air pressure, water flow, humidity, solar radiation, pressure differences and more. From these measurements it continuously calculates the balance...
After intense seven month, the test unit has been commissioned with little delay, runs 24/7 and is already delivering the much expected results. The unit is installed in a 5 m long 2.2 m wide and 2.5 m high trailer.
Klimastiftung Schweiz supports HyWin in designing and building a test unit, which allows to test the HyWin concept under realistic conditions.
Achim Geissler, Professor at University of Applied Sciences and Arts Northwestern Switzerland, FHNW in Muttenz (Switzerland), completed the HyWin simulation study supported by the Swiss Innovation Agency Innosuisse. The simulation gives a strong indication of the HyWin ability to ensure a comfortable indoor climate, both in summer and winter, without any additional cooling or heating....
