ThermoVerse, LLC is developing a minimally invasive enclosure thermal management system capable of large-area transactive cooling, heating, and energy storage (LATCHES). This technology combines Peltier cooling & heating with state-of-the art thermal energy storage (TES) and low-power sensing to create a thermal management system capable of reducing heating and cooling loads by 17-29%. The technology is being developed for applications in buildings, energy, and mobility. For buildings, the technology is being engineered to remediate the inefficiencies of >13 million multifamily buildings. For the energy sector, the technology is being engineered to improve EV battery performance while mitigating thermal runaway. For the mobility sector, the technology is being engineered to reduce operational carbon emission by ~1.42 million tCO2/yr across multimodal cold chain. Our end goal, is a carbon neutral system capable of decarbonizing and electrifying space heating and cooling across buildings, transportation, energy, and other sectors.
