The Briz is a concept air conditioner that takes the familiar form of blinds. But instead of just blocking the sun out, when these blinds are open they keep the air inside cool.


It uses water-filled tubes running beneath the the bottom part of the blinds to emit a dry mist into the airflow. As the [...]]]></description>
