Kelvin's technology addresses inefficient heating in legacy buildings. The company's core product, the Cozy, is a smart radiator cover designed to improve radiator-heated buildings without invasive retrofitting or substantial infrastructure upgrades.



The problem the Cozy solves is two-fold. First, it tackles the inefficiency and lack of temperature control in older heating systems, which often leads to overheated spaces, wasted energy, and discomfort for residents. Second, it addresses the need for buildings to reduce carbon emissions in response to environmental regulations like NYC's Local Law 97.



The Cozy is non-invasive and can be easily installed. It encloses existing radiators in an insulated cover, trapping and redirecting heat more effectively throughout the room and the building as a whole. This controlled distribution of heat improves residents’ comfort by eliminating hot and cold spots and significantly reduces energy consumption throughout a building.



The Cozy integrates with building management systems, allowing for real-time monitoring and adjustments to heating based on actual needs. This smart functionality enables buildings to achieve optimal heating efficiency, leading to substantial energy savings and helping them comply with strict environmental regulations.



The Cozy also contributes to the aesthetic improvement of interior spaces. Its design updates the look of old, bulky radiators, blending seamlessly into various decors.
