airHive is a modular and expandable air conditioning system that incorporates smart modules and multidirectional vents for real-time air monitoring and purification. Its modularity and ability to be retrofitted onto existing air outlets offer architects greater design flexibility. This fully integrated system is managed by an intelligent central controller that efficiently optimises energy consumption by directing cooling where needed.
