Today we are joined by Vince Romanin, CEO of Gradient, a company developing an innovative new wall-mounted heat pump system that aims to address climate change in three key ways: by replacing fossil-fuel based heating mechanisms with electrical-based heating, by using less harmful refrigerants, and finally by mitigating the effects of climate change (more extreme temperature) by providing climate control to our buildings. All of this, while focusing on the consumer and placing the wall-mounted heat pumps in a unique form factor that gives users their windows back. Listen in as Vince patiently walks us through our questions on thermodynamics and how heat pumps work, and as we learn about this tremendous opportunity to both combat climate change and mitigate its effects.
