Summary of potential indicated by the Integrated Evaporative prototype
• Applicable in humid environments – No moisture added to living spaces
• Has significant "thermal flywheel" – can "coast" overnight and on cloudy days
• Very low power demand – Far less power compared to vapor compression
• Air conditioned "Net-Zero" buildings – may be self sufficient with current renewable technologies
• Cools and insulates via the same process –"dynamic insulation" insures very low heat gain
• Solar powered radiant heating via rooftop collector – utilizes same in-wall components
• No novel construction techniques required – no special training for construction crews
• No uncommon materials required – no exotic or prohibitively expensive materials required
• Addresses a market demand – market demand will likely expand for the foreseeable future
• Positive impact on environment – reduction of greenhouse gases and CFCs
• Positive Water Usage Impact – Intrinsic potential to condense and reuse process water in some areas
