Heat storage
Flexible panels that store thermal energy
Infinite R™ is a phase change building material that stores energy when you don’t need it, releasing it when you do.
It works the same as ice inside a cooler, slowly melting or thawing to maintain a target temperature using the process of phase change. It drastically increases the resiliency of buildings and communities, slashes energy costs by as much as half and increases the capacity for a more comfortable world.
Storing thermal energy (either warm or cool) within the very building envelope has been so easy than with Infinite-R:
- installs within walls, ceilings or roofs
- allows for more stable thermal management
- absorbs excess process heat or unwanted solar heat gains
- frees strored energy when needed, that is over nightime or on-peak periods
- stabilizes inside space temperatures
- improves occupants’ comfort
- perfect for solar applications such as with the Acero Wall
