Offers Invited

Background

OAIRO ALLIANCE’s “Atomic Air” is unique and patented technology for superior draft-free air distribution via heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems.  The case study installations have demonstrated energy efficiency improvements of up to 73%. 

Conventional HVAC solutions create convection flows and suffer from poor air distribution efficiency, hot-cold spots, poor air quality and stratification.  ‘’Atomic Air’’ on the other hand, is a 21st century technology for the ultimate in efficient draft free distribution for comfort, safety, human well-being and energy efficiency.

Following 11 years of multi-million-dollar research and development with numerous global installations, the “Atomic Air” technology has proven its ability to optimise comfort, safety and energy efficiency in the built environment.

The “Atomic Air” software technology utilises gas law equations and digital mechanical equipment to optimise the effects of Brownian Motion in air particles, creating a superior air distribution, thus significantly reducing the thermal air volumes required to achieve comfort and indoor air quality, in turn reducing the associated fan and heating/cooling power utilised in the built environment.

The response to the Company’s innovation has been positive. Prior to the Administration, the Company completed projects with clients in Australia, Abu Dhabi, Dubai, ThailandUK and USA, illustrating the wide-ranging commercial applications for the technology across, but not limited to offices, residential, warehouses, shopping centres, theatres and education buildings. Further, the Company had forged solid relationships and garnered the support of various key stakeholders and industry experts, who were engaged and supportive of the Company’s aspirations and saw the potential for future growth, especially in these times of energy poverty.

We are aware of third party valuations of the intellectual property, which report figures in excess of £30m.

TV / Media

The technology has featured on the US TV network CNBC’s “Advancements in Technology” series with Ted Danson, which was streamed globally on various major streaming services.

Confidence in the brand was boosted by backing from revered institutions and individuals influential in the space, including the University of Oxford and the University of Melbourne, both of which have supported the brand and technology, with ‘’Atomic Air’’ being the feature of papers written by these universities that were published on “Energies”.

In 2019 , OAIRO was awarded the Californian Technology of the Year Award.
