Most modern building cooling systems consume high levels of electrical power, driving energy consumption rates inbuildings. The energy burden from AC will rise with growing populations, emerging middle classes, & global warming. FreeRunning Buildings (FRB) Ltd & the Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC) at the University of Sheffield willundertake collaborative development activities to finalise design for manufacture of FREECOOL, a zero-energy passiveventilation with active cooling system, incorporating two newly patented innovations (patent pending; GB1321709.6 &PCT/GB2016/051081). FREECOOL can lower incoming air temperature by 15 degrees C and remove humidity with norequirement for power. The collaborative team will finalise design of key components to reduce weight, and enable flat packshipping and modular construction. Field trials will demonstrate the ability of FREECOOL to reduce energy consumption inbuilding. For FRB, the project will generate a market-ready system that can be sold to generate revenue for companyexpansion and further R&D. For AMRC, it diversifies its links to industry & supports it's position within the High ValueManufacturing Catapult.

大多数现代建筑冷却系统消耗大量电力，从而提高了建筑物的能源消耗率。随着人口的增长、中产阶级的兴起和全球变暖，交流电的能源负担将会增加。 FreeRunning Buildings (FRB) Ltd 和谢菲尔德大学先进制造研究中心 (AMRC) 将开展合作开发活动，以完成 FREECOOL 的制造设计，这是一种带有主动冷却系统的零能耗被动通风系统，融合了两项新专利创新（专利申请中） ；GB1321709.6&PCT/GB2016/051081)。 FREECOOL 可以将进入的空气温度降低 15 摄氏度并去除湿气，且无需电源。协作团队将完成关键部件的设计，以减轻重量，并实现扁平包装运输和模块化结构。现场试验将证明 FREECOOL 降低建筑能耗的能力。对于 FRB 来说，该项目将生成一个市场就绪的系统，可以出售该系统来为公司扩张和进一步研发创造收入。对于 AMRC 来说，它使其与行业的联系多样化，并支持其在高价值制造弹射器中的地位。
