Description of Technology

Breathable undershirt embedded with

tube network.

Supplying of next-to-skin moving air

for thermoregulation.

Sensing of skin temperature and

wireless communication using fabric antenna

Intelligent control of microclimate.
Efficient and compact thermoelectric

energy conversion unit. An air-conditioning garment system consisting of an undergarment fitted with detachable tube network and an electro-mechanical heating/cooling device (EMD), providing next-to-skin cooling/warm air for thermoregulation.

Value Proposition and Uniqueness

Improved personal comfort, particularly in extreme conditions.
HVAC energy saving for indoor occupants.
Effective cooling/heating function (up to 23 watts cooling and 18

watts heating).

Portable personal air-conditioning.
Machine washable of the undergarment after detaching the tube

network and the electro-mechanical heating/cooling device (EMD).

Little effect on choice of outer wear and appearance.
Affordable (~$10 for undergarment, ~$200 for the EMD unit which
