On cold, clear days, the interior of a RavenBrick-equipped building receives
free heat from the sun. On hot days, this heat is reflected away. What's more, RavenWindow and RavenSkin offer superior
insulation properties at all times, in all weather, to keep the heat and cold where they belong.
This patent-pending technology
can be applied to virtually any exterior component in many types of structures, from skyscrapers and warehouses to tents and inflatable
domes, as well as ordinary residential housing.
A
NEW WAY TO THINK ABOUT WINDOWS
Up to now, energy-efficient windows have used mirrored films, infrared filters, and low-emissivity
coatings to reduce unwanted solar heat gain in the summer. Unfortunately, these same technologies block out wanted solar heat
gain in winter, causing heating bills to rise.
Because RavenWindow's unique, patent-pending thermoreflective filter technology
allows sunlight to penetrate in cold weather, but reflects it away in hot weather, for many climate zones it saves twice as much energy as
the leading "dumb" window technologies, in all seasons.
A NEW WAY TO THINK ABOUT WALLS
In the design of energy-efficient
buildings, very little attention is paid to the walls, other than insulation. However, the sunlight that falls on a building's
opaque exterior surfaces or "skin" -- up to 1,000 Watts per square meter -- represents a huge untapped resource for conservation.
RavenSkin's heat-storage medium packs the thermal mass of a foot-thick concrete wall into a layer less than one inch thick. Combined with our thermoreflective filters, the result is a smart, modular skin that regulates the building's internal temperature,
saving energy on both daytime cooling and night/winter heating.
A VERSATILE TECHNOLOGY
RavenBrick's "green" window
and wall panels snap directly into modular curtain wall and storefront systems. The technology can also be applied to residential
windows, glass blocks, spandrels, skylights/sunroofs, and more. RavenSkin is an energy-saving replacement for brick, cinderblock,
roofing tile, multilayered insulated walls, prefabricated building sections, tent roofs, insulation blankets, and poured concrete
wall sections.
