In the search for a healthier and more comfortable living environment, homeowners are increasingly turning to innovative solutions. The right home environment is essential to health and well-being as there are risks to an individual’s physical and mental health associated with living in a cold and damp environment. 

The Unico System, with its cutting-edge technology and design, provides a 3-in-1 home climate control solution that includes heating, cooling, and ventilation for perfect home climate control. Unico warms in the winter and cools in the summer, plus year-round it removes pollutants and irritants to leave you with clean, healthy, filtered air in your home. It creates living spaces that are perfectly climate-controlled to combat our changing and challenging UK weather conditions.  

Here are five ways The Unico System contributes to an elevated standard of well-being in your home: 

  1. Unrivalled energy efficiency:

 The Unico System boasts superior energy efficiency, delivering 97% of system energy directly to the conditioned living space. Unlike traditional HVAC systems that often suffer from energy losses, The Unico System optimises energy usage, promoting sustainability and reducing utility costs. Embracing this innovative approach allows homeowners to enjoy a comfortable living space without compromising on energy conservation. 

  1. Advanced humidity control:

 One of the standout features of The Unico System is its ability to remove 30% more humidity than conventional HVAC systems. This not only enhances air quality but also ensures that indoor humidity levels remain at optimum levels. By mitigating excess moisture, the system minimises the risk of mould and allergen growth, creating a healthier environment for homeowners.  

  1. Whisper-Quiet comfort

 Thanks to its unique ‘Aspiration’ principle and technology, The Unico System creates a draft-free, ultra-quiet, and consistently even room temperature. Traditional HVAC systems often struggle with uneven air distribution and noisy operation. Unico, however, ensures a serene living space and a tranquil environment conducive to relaxation, focus, and well-being. 

  1. Silent and seamless air delivery:

With decibel levels down to a whisper-quiet <30 decibels, The Unico System redefines what it means to experience quiet HVAC operation. The air is delivered seamlessly and discreetly, allowing you to enjoy the benefits of a precisely controlled indoor environment without the disruptive noise often associated with traditional systems. This not only supports better sleep quality but also contributes to a stress-free living atmosphere. 

  1. Holistic Indoor Air Quality enhancement:

The Unico System integrates ventilation, fresh air circulation, air filtration, and air disinfection through UV technology. This comprehensive approach enhances indoor air quality, providing you with a breath of fresh, clean air. By addressing multiple components of air quality, The Unico System creates an environment that promotes respiratory health and overall well-being so you can breathe easy.

“If there were a Michelin rating for comfort, the Unico System would undoubtedly receive 3 stars”.

Jamie Oliver, of Britain’s Channel 4 documentary series “Jamie’s Kitchen”, began the Fifteen restaurant brand in 2002 with a flagship location in London. The name is derived from the celebrity chef’s apprenticeship program of training fifteen disadvantaged youth in the culinary arts and service management industries.

Overview

Fifteen in Cornwall overlooks the beach at Watergate Bay on the north coast of the county of Cornwall, UK. The restaurant offers slick, traditional Italian cuisine with a Cornish twist. The location features a high, open ceiling design and casual-chic interior with murals of pastel-coloured surf scenes adorning the walls.

The developers of the property were determined to create a visual style for this new location as unique as that of Mr. Oliver’s approach to food. While adamantly determined not to copy the “faux-industrial” look of exposed metal ducting that has become so common in commercial locales, they were committed to adding a heating and cooling system that could deliver superior comfort as well as disappear into the background.

To meet these challenges, they turned to the Unico System.

Strategy

The very features that make the Unico System attractive to the old home and custom home residential markets make it an optimal choice for commercial-built applications as well. The modular air handling equipment, smaller main trunk ducting and flexible supply ducting allow it to fit where conventional heating and cooling systems simply cannot.

Air handlers and the main ducting were situated outside of the main dining area and Unico System supply tubes were snaked through the sloped ceiling’s cavities to discharge conditioned air from the high side walls. The versatility of the Unico System’s terminating outlets allow it to fit seamlessly into Fifteen’s open design. Available in a slotted, 1-inch x 8-inch configuration, this version was chosen over the round 2-inch inner diameter option as it better blended with the interior’s distinctive murals.

Air distribution with the Unico System provides two additional benefits. Conditioned air gently circulates within the room’s existing air currents, eliminating the drafts that often create guest discomfort in restaurants. This gentle mixing also eliminates the phenomena of stratification (that is, alternating hot and cold spots) associated with conventional forced air systems, instead maintaining even temperatures throughout the dining room.

Results

Not only does the Unico System practically disappear within the interior design of Fifteen, but guests and staff alike are kept comfortable during the ever-changing seaside weather. Kitchens can be frightfully hot places in which to work but, due to the open design plan and the superiority of the Unico System’s air delivery method, staff have remarked that Fifteen’s kitchen is the most comfortable they’ve ever experienced.

On the other hand, with hard-to-see visual evidence, no drafts and even temperatures, guests are hardly aware of the heating and cooling system and are not distracted from enjoying a wonderful, healthy meal in a beautiful setting.

If there were a Michelin rating for comfort, the Unico System would undoubtedly receive 3 stars.
