Inspiration

Direct air capture (DAC) is difficult because of the relatively low concentration of carbon dioxide in the air. Commercial building air must be constantly refreshed because of carbon dioxide build up from its occupants. We posit that a HVAC system with carbon scrubbing capabilities can save energy in performing the two tasks of climate control and carbon capture as opposed to a separate HVAC system and DAC system.

What it does

Boreas performs the usual HVAC tasks of heating/cooling with automatic carbon capture enabling more recycling of interior air.
