EVOLUTIONFX · THINKING
Problems worth reframing.
We like the difficult questions — the ones where the obvious answer works, but might not be the best answer.
CURRENT QUESTIONS
Things worth thinking about now.
Energy is changing. Buildings are changing. Controls are changing. We are interested in the engineering questions that sit underneath those changes.
Fresh air has an energy cost. How do we manage both?
Ventilation, moisture, comfort and energy use belong in the same conversation.
Why peak electricity matters differently from total energy.
When energy is used can change the problem a system has to solve.
What changes when the heat pump is no longer the whole system?
Storage can change when a heat pump runs and how the system interacts with energy.
Smart controls shouldn't mean more buttons.
Better sensing and intelligence should make systems easier to use.
We know this product works. Where else can we use it?
Sometimes innovation starts by moving an idea into a new context.
WHY WE WRITE ABOUT THIS
Good technology starts with a useful question.
Our work sits between established technologies and new applications. These notes are part of that process: understand the problem, challenge the assumptions and see what becomes possible.
