SMARTh FUrnitUre






-Innovative furniture range that increases comfort and saves energy by accumulating heat by inserting a material in the structures. (It works like charging batteries.)

-When temperatures get colder, like at night time, the heat is released constantly and additional heating appliances won't be needed; making the furniture energy sufficient.


-This strategy suggests 30 per cent savings in summer and 8 per cent in winter, and also provides an additional function to furniture, and not just for aesthetics and storage.


-They are mostly practical for climates with large temperature differences between day and night and also for buildings constructed with material with low thermal mass (offices, hotels, schools etc.) glazed areas and greenhouses.
