Vento NV

August 28th, 2015, Lavrion Technological and Cultural Park (LTCP), Attica  As a result of market analysis further improvements and developments of HVAC ductwork will have to come in the field of :  Energy efficiency  Cost efficiency  Health and Safety  Health and Safety becomes more important State of the art products and performance

August 28th, 2015, Lavrion Technological and Cultural Park (LTCP), Attica  A need for a new type of inorganic insulation material  Better performing than traditional materials as rockwool and glasswool.  Hydrophobic  Resistant to salt and chemicals  Etc… Energy efficiency

August 28th, 2015, Lavrion Technological and Cultural Park (LTCP), Attica  A need for a new type of inorganic insulation material  Raw materials at lower cost  Preparation of the material at lower cost  Applying the insulation material to the airducts at lower cost by spraying or injection Cost efficiency

August 28th, 2015, Lavrion Technological and Cultural Park (LTCP), Attica  Need for a cost efficient way to clean airducts  Environmental friendly cleaning technology Cost efficiency

August 28th, 2015, Lavrion Technological and Cultural Park (LTCP), Attica  A need for a new type of fire resistant insulation material  All existing foams are based on organic components, combustible!  Existing non-combustible insulation material with organic binders Health and Safety

August 28th, 2015, Lavrion Technological and Cultural Park (LTCP), Attica  Need for new products that will provide higher quality of ventilated air  Breakdown of bacteria and fungi  Breakdown of VOC’s Health and Safety

August 28th, 2015, Lavrion Technological and Cultural Park (LTCP), Attica  After summary of market needs start of the proposal of the project with 3 subprojects :  High performing, low cost, fire resistant, sprayable insulating material  Coating for easy cleaning of the HVAC ducts  Coated filter with energy efficient UV LED system for breakdown of bacteria, fungi and VOC’s.  NANO-HVAC funded by EC under FP7 program GA no : Novel Nano-enabled Energy Efficient and Safe HVAC ducts and systems contributing to an healthier indoor environment NANO-HVAC project

 Insulating material  We see a lot of potential in the ship industry  Non combustible, fire resistant (very important in ship building), hydrophobic, high performing (lower insulating thickness, lower volume, very important in ship building), salt resistant Penetration, potential growth

August 28th, 2015, Lavrion Technological and Cultural Park (LTCP), Attica  Coating for easy cleaning :  Potential in commercial building where cleaning will not or less disturb activities during cleaning. Penetration, potential growth

August 28th, 2015, Lavrion Technological and Cultural Park (LTCP), Attica  Coated filter with UV LED system anti bacterial, anti fungal, breakdown of VOC’s  Big potential for hospitals (surgery rooms) and homes for elderly people where people are very vulnerable to bad air quality.  It is obvious that this application will quickly find its way to residential application Penetration, potential growth
