All-Weather 120V Window Heat Pump

Judge’s Remarks:

“This product has everything the judges were looking for including controllability, high potential for energy efficiency and homeowner savings, and forthcoming BACnet optionality. The bidirectional supply vent design is innovative and unique, and the potential for demand response integration is fantastic. Judges were excited about the semi-permanent installation, allowing the All-Weather 120V Window Heat Pump to be installed year-round for both heating and cooling purposes.”

Description:

Gradient’s All-Weather 120V window heat pump sets a new standard for the integrated home, marrying the performance of a high end ductless split with the installation ease of a window air conditioner. The product’s 30-minute effortless setup requires no drilling, refrigerant handling, or electrical upgrades.  In addition, meltwater atomizers generate micron-scale droplets outdoors rather than dripping water or requiring the connection of condensate tubing. This product builds upon Gradient’s 2022 moderate climate offering, which pioneered this product class, with increased efficiency and low temperature capacity that enables year-round heating throughout the US.

 

Notably, pre-release testing of the All-Weather 120V has demonstrated a COP of 2.37 at 17°F, with no capacity reduction from 47°F, ensuring top-tier comfort and energy conservation. Its dual indoor supply vent design enhances room mixing throughout the living space, a first-in-class feature for window units.  The All-Weather 120V also boasts smartphone app control and forthcoming BACnet connectivity, as well as over-the-air updates for added features over time. These benefits offer customers a granular level of control over their energy consumption, paving the way for substantial reductions in carbon footprints.
