Innovation Friday: Self-Cooling Canopy Bed
Came across this on SpringWise. It’s a self-cooling canopy bed called Evening Breeze, “a canopy bed with built-in air conditioner that uses only a fraction of that energy.”
We find no shortage of green and eco-related online content when it comes to tourism. It no longer seems to be a differentiator, but rather the cost of entry. Would love for you to share some of the eco-friendly products you’ve come across.
Full post on SpringWise here. Excerpt below:
In the Evening Breeze bed, air is filtered and cooled to a set temperature and humidity level and then gently directed over the sleeper via an upholstered canopy ceiling. A built-in mosquito net protects the sleeper from uninvited visitors while also helping to contain the cooled air, meaning that no airtight insulation is necessary—rather, the room can be left to its natural state, with windows open for fresh air. The eco-minded bed is crafted from FSC-approved wood, and it uses only environmentally friendly R410A coolant. Perhaps best of all, however, is that whereas conventional air conditioners use between 1,200 and 2,000 Watts, the average energy use for the Evening Breeze bed is only 400 Watts, creating a reduction in energy use of 60 percent per room.
