7. AdvanClim heating & cooling system bases on four main features 1 AdvanSol hydro-solar modules (patented) 2 Radiant floor 3 AdvanVent displacement ventilation 4 Control proprietary software of all the system Water to water machine

8. In summer, AdvanSolhydro-solar modules cool the water that gets to a water to water heating pump, thus reducing its energy consumption Performance simplified sketch Impulsión 35ºC Retorno 30ºC Acumulador de inercia Tsuelo = 22ºC Tagua = 15ºC Tagua = 20ºC Note: Thetemperaturesindicated are estimatedones and maysuffervariationsdependingonthespecificbuilding

9. In winter, AdvanSol modules heat the water that gets to the heating pump, reducing this way its energy consumption Performance simplified sketch Impulsión 7ºC Retorno 12ºC Acumulador de inercia Tsuelo = 23ºC Tagua = 29ºC Tagua = 24ºC Note: Thetemperaturesindicated are estimatedones and maysuffervariationsdependingonthespecificbuilding.

10. AvdanSol hydro-solar modules not only save energy but also gives a number of benefits Benefits • Energy savings in heating, cooling and hot water • Easy architectonical integration • Height < 1 m • Requires little surface (from 3% to 5% of the surface considered) * • Require no reinforcement of the surface it is settled on • Weight < 25 kg/m2 • Lack of noise and vibrations • It doesn’t include mobile mechanical parts of any kind • Highly reliable • Use of an auxiliary air to water machine to cover long periods without sun • Strong system with little maintenance requirements • No freezing nor overheating risk, no mobile mechanical parts • Minimize legionella scattering risk • Aerosol scattering considerably lower if compared to refrigerating towers • Low risk ranked, within the same category of park fountains and irrigation systems Aerosol emission measures obtained through hydro sensitive paper AdvanSol roof Refrigerating tower * Depending on the particular building, it may be necessary to consider an additional collecting surface for winter. Such surface will depend on the target energy qualification.

11. Radiant floor provides high energy efficiency and great comfort feeling Benefits • High energy efficiency • It works at temperatures very close to environment ones • It works only on the area occupied by people (stratification) • Reduces the thermal load produced by the radiation getting in through windows and doors or glass walls. • Reduces the transmission thermal load getting in through windows, doors, floor and roof. • Highly energy selective (supplies heat or cold only where required) • Lessen thermal load oscillations and, therefore, compression consumption. • Great comfort feeling • Thermal sensation in summer similar to the one at a cathedral • Homogeneous and silent distribution of energy • Thermal inertia • Keeps heating & cooling inner conditions whenever a failure of the system or an electricity supply disruption occur.

12. AdvanClim system (AdvanVent displacement ventilation) Heating & Cooling traditional system (mixing ventilation) Finally, AdvanVent displacement ventilation reduces even more energy consumption and provides higher comfort and air quality levels • Air is introduced at low temperature and high speed, being mixed with the air of the rooms • Refrigerated air is recirculated to reduce energy consumption • The air introduced is only the necessary one to ventilate the building • It is introduced air at a moderate temperature and at low speed • Hot air is expelled, instead of mixing it with refrigerated air • Air is not recirculated and no turbulence takes place • Energy consumption savings • Expels convective thermal loads • It works at temperatures close to comfort ones • Drives little air flow • It works only on the occupied area • Only where it is necessary • Allows a higher use of free-cooling • Reduces consumption on last floor • Makes it unnecessary the use of fans and recirculation filtres • Provides higher comfort level • Ensures a cleaner and healthier air • Reduces colds incidence Benefits

13. As a result, AdvanClim system supplies high energy savings that may reach up to 73% AdvanClim system energy savings compared to traditional heating & cooling systems Energy savings up to 73% -30% -73% -20% -30% -30% Note: The figures havebeentakenfrom a traditionalsystembasedon air towater machines.
