CurrentAir conditioning is the fastest growing use of electricity globally. As the planet warms, access to air conditioning has become a matter a public health and human development. Blue Frontier’s patented solutions include hyper-efficient comfort space conditioning, low-cost energy storage, and smart IoT controls to aggregate its air conditioners as distributed energy resources for use as a Utility-Managed Virtual Power Plant. Consumers can expect a 50%-90% reduction in cooling electricity usage. Embedded energy storage soaks up low-cost and excess renewable electricity and shifts its use to intelligently provide air conditioning when the grid is congested and in the early evening when solar power output is declining. This avoids the need to dispatch peaking power plants and reduces the need for more costly battery-supplied power. Blue Frontier’s first product addresses the 5 through 10 ton commercial packaged rooftop air conditioner market with a drop-in replacement offered under an HVAC-as-a-Service subscription-based business model.
