Innovation

Engineering that challenges conventional HVAC thinking

Healthy. Efficient. Quiet.

The problem we set out to solve

Buildings shouldn't sacrifice health for efficiency

Most hybrid ventilation systems put fans and plant inside classrooms and offices — creating noise, recirculating stale air, and treating occupant comfort as secondary. Climovate was founded on a different belief: ventilation, heating, cooling and hot water should be designed together, holistically, not as separate systems bolted on afterwards.

Our approach

Passive first. Mechanical only when needed.

A five-step hierarchy that uses natural forces before adding active energy.

01

Prevent

External shading, planting, solar control and low internal gains reduce the load before any system has to work.

02

Absorb

Expose thermal mass so the building stores daytime heat.

03

Purge

Use night air and stack or cross ventilation to recharge that mass.

04

Temper

Use earth tubes or shaded inlets to lower incoming air temperature.

05

Assist

Small, quiet mechanical heating or cooling only when passive measures reach their limit.
