PILOTS
LACI Showcase
We showcased our demonstration shelter at two events – LACI’s Fall Power Day and USGBC-LA’s Mini Golf Event. We installed a canvas shelter next to the ThermoShade shelter so people could experience the difference in heat protection.
CA City Bus Shelter
We have signed an LOI with a California city transit authority to add ThermoShade cooling into their existing design. Our panels will protect people from heat stress in bus shelters, increasing ridership and reducing the risk of medical events on hot days.
dairy cattle
We are planning a pilot study to address heat stress in dairy cows.
Dairy cows are uniquely susceptible to heat stress, which leads to reduced milk production and quality.
In 2010, heat stress is estimated to have lowered annual milk production for the average dairy by about $39,000 ($54,000 adjusted for inflation), totaling $1.2 billion for the entire U.S. dairy sector. For many small dairies, this can be the difference between running at a profit or loss.
We will install our shelters at critical locations in the dairy to keep cows cool.
