We’re looking for a Commercial Lead to take airifi to the next level

If you are interested...

Please get in touch via tristan@airifi.io with a cover letter and CV, or if you have any questions.

Smart Windows exists as a successful proof-of-concept prototype, funded by our first InnovateUK grant. We have been awarded our second InnovateUK grant, in April 2024, and are beginning work on our £100k proof-of-performance testing phase, which will see Smart Windows tested in real world environments for a large UK modular building manufacturer. We currently hold two patents, in patent pending status, with further patents identified.

Alongside the grant, we are looking to raise a pre-seed / seed round to enable early stage commercialisation and revenue generation.

We are developing the next generation of window control systems, turning the static, architectural elements of a building, into active ventilation devices.

With 9 million premature deaths & 1 million healthy years lost annually to air & noise pollution respectively, Smart Windows has the ability to improve the internal environmental conditions of any building, benefiting occupant health and wellbeing. Smart Windows also has the potential to reduce the UKs Carbon Emissions by 1%, via reductions in waste heat energy from heating the Built Environment. The ability to be retrofit or new-installed opens the doors for a widescale roll-out and adoption.

The Smart Windows product has been developed by RCDC, an innovative consultancy working within the Built Environment consisting of a team of 12 talented engineers, led by Vince Ruane.

Airifi has now been spun-out as its own entity, however RCDC will continue to act as both the technical team, as well as providing strong industry connections and knowledge of the construction supply chain.

  • An innovation and business adviser who has been working with the business for 4 years,
