- Additional information
- The research led to a patent application for the novel design of the desiccant rotary system with radial blades coated with silica-gel-particles for mechanical/passive ventilation applications (GB1506768.9). A spin-out company was established in Aug 2014 to commercialise the technology (http://www.freerunningbuildings.com; contact: Director of Free Running Buildings), in collaboration with the University of Leeds. The company’s projects include the development of cooling strategies for stadiums ahead of the Football World Cup in Qatar. The work also contributed to a successful Innovate UK: Energy Catalyst award of GBP400,000 and further IPGroup funding of GBP72,000.
