The problem Urban Cooling addresses
What if there is nowhere suitable for an outdoor unit?
That can be an issue with apartments, listed buildings, conservation areas, restricted external space and properties where the appearance of the building matters.
Urban Cooling’s proposition is to provide alternative air conditioning configurations for these situations.
