With facilities in Reno, Nevada and in Southern California, Nativus personnel are developing a proprietary heat exchanger technology having relevant applications in both commercial and residential heating and cooling. Present in-use air conditioning involves technologies that, except for incremental adaptations, have remained largely unchanged for decades. The patent-pending technology developed by Nativus -- combining the heat exchanger surface with a centrifugal fan - suggests that it is significantly better overall system efficiency than currently available air conditioners is possble and - by targeting the room a/c market and offering an efficient, quiet, lightweight, and stylistic product - potentially highly lucrative.
