3 GUT- GRÜNE UMWELT TECHNOLOGIEN GMBH WHO WE ARE GUT has been dealing with future technologies for the last 10 years, as individual company Due to a strategic reorientation, the legal form changed to that of a German GmbH in 2016 The headquarter and production site are both based in Germany, in Bad Homburg respectively Altenstadt (both next to Frankfurt a.m.) GUT acts as producer and distributor of own innovations for the 3 business units Transport & Environment, Renewable Energy and Health Care Technology WHAT WE DO GUT and its partners develop and distribute products of future technologies with a unique selling proposition, based on ethical principles and with a high social impact Main objective is to concentrate the developed innovations on a platform that will provide access to the general public with the goal of relieving the environment while being profitable 3

4 PHOTON-HEATING Photon-heating the next generation of infrared heating 4

5 WHAT IS PHOTON-HEATING? Unlike conventional forms of heating (oil, gas, pellets, district heating), electric photon-heating is not so much based on warming ambient air, but rather on warming the surrounding surfaces (e.g. furniture, ceilings and walls), and on their heat absorption Conventional heating (convection principle) Warming of surrounding surfaces Photon-heating is as an advanced form of the technically outdated concept of electric infrared heating, operating actively and passively based on the latest developments, and thus requiring significantly less energy despite a greater conversion of usable heat It achieves the optimum distribution of radiant heat and convection heat which is around 50% Photon-heating 5

6 HOW EXACTLY DOES PHOTON-HEATING WORK? Infrared radiation Infrared radiation Infrared radiation Infrared radiation Electric photon-heating involves using a foil of nonmetallic conductors to directly transfer actively generated infrared radiation onto the surrounding areas through specific surfaces (e.g. glass, mirrors, granite) The infrared radiation here remains largely within the relevant, healthy heat range for humans (around 10 μm), resulting in an optimum ambient temperature Surface e.g. mirror Foil with non-metallic conductors 6

7 HOW EXACTLY DOES PHOTON-HEATING WORK? The infrared radiation warms not only the human body, but also other objects in the room (e.g. furniture), as well as ceilings and walls, which emit part of the absorbed thermal radiation into the room through reflection This allows the temperature of the surrounding surfaces (furniture, ceilings, walls) to roughly match that of the ambient air, thereby considerably reducing air rotation (convection) The result is virtually even heat distribution throughout the room, with air humidity levelling off into optimum indoor climate conditions 7

8 HOW EXACTLY DOES PHOTON-HEATING WORK? In addition to the aforementioned active heating process, the warmed surface of the photon heater also passively emits thermal radiation and convective heat into the room, uniquely converting almost 100% of the usable heat The Photon-heating is operating actively... As photon-heating operates within an optimum heatwave range, the heating elements require lower temperatures in order to achieve the optimum wavelengths, which can significantly reduce energy demands (power consumption) Our photon-heating does achieve this optimum heatwave range at a temperature of 26,85 C already and passively at the same time 8

9 WHAT IS THERMAL RADIATION? Thermal radiation is a type of heat transfer in which heat is transmitted through electromagnetic waves (infrared radiation, infrared light) Humans distinguish between an apparent temperature and the actual temperature, with the former considered more important For example, when the outside temperature is 16 C, the apparent temperature in the sun is much higher than in the shade This is thanks to the infrared radiation within a certain heat - wave range, as shown in the diagram The optimum apparent temperature for humans does not lie within the entire heat range, but rather only in the middle section of the infrared radiation range (around 10 μm) 9

10 HOW DOES PHOTON-HEATING SUPPORT HEALTH? The thermal radiation emitted creates a perfect, healthy indoor climate, As the air humidity levels off into an optimum range In which the apparent room temperature is distributed virtually evenly (no relevant temperature difference between floor and ceiling) Because much less dust is stirred up (suitable for those with allergies) As the risk of mould forming, e.g. through thermal bridges, is significantly minimised Because the thermal radiation emitted, acts as a therapeutic side effect (e.g. on joint problems and muscle tension) 10

11 WHAT DISTINGUISHES PHOTON-HEATING? It meets the now loosened but stricter EnEV-2009 German Energy Saving Regulations (Section 10a) for electric heating (may be used in new buildings/passive houses) Photon-heating is the clean alternative to the ban on purchasing oil or gas-fired systems for new buildings and reconstructions which has already been implemented in various European countries It is easy to install, compact, and can be used to suit individual needs thanks to the wide range of surface options The photon-heating has a CE conformity declaration and is certified by German TÜV* A guarantee is provided for the stated consumption in kwh as part of the heat requirement calculation Guarantees may be individually extended for up to 15 years at the customer s request It is made in Germany and engineered in Germany *in terms of the base element 11

12 ADVANTAGES OF PHOTON-HEATING Almost 100% conversion of usable heat in comparison with 60%-80% of oil and gas heating systems 86% of known infrared heaters Significant useful energy saving (in kw) compared to gas and oil heating by up to 75% / 100%* electric operating systems by up to 70% infrared heating by up to 30% Long-lasting without loss of performance Shatter-proof and design-oriented Space saving, simple and individually applicable Low maintenance cost Good for health and electrosmog-free (according to the EMC regulations) *in case of own electricity generation 12

13 APPLICATION EXAMPLES In/on wall panels and ceiling elements (e.g. plastic, granite, marble and ceramic surfaces) Kitchen splashbacks Mirrors Glassware Pictures Paintings (oil and acryl) Stand-alone devices (mobile, drying element) Saunas Embedded in paneling and constructions (e.g. bath tubs, boat keels) 13

14 WHY IS A PHOTON-HEATING BETTER THAN INFRARED HEATING? The rate of conversion for usable heat is almost 100% for photon-heating, while for conventional infrared heating it is only around 86% Photon-heating systems last longer compared to infrared heating, and no performance is lost Unlike infrared heating, photon-heating is not based on outdated technology from decades past While photon-heating is proven to be electrosmogfree (according to the EMC regulations), conventional infrared heating can usually only claim to be low in electrosmog, at best Photon-heating (when applied correctly) uses up to 30% less power than infrared heating 14

15 CONCLUSION Photon-heating is the clean alternative (with an usp) to the ban on purchasing oil or gas-fired systems for new buildings and reconstructions The rate of conversion for usable heat is almost 100% Its significant useful energy saving (in kw) is up to 75%/100%*, compared to other heating systems It is good for health and electrosmog-free (according to the EMC regulations) Due to the top quality, the photon-heating is longlasting and hence guarantee extension for up to 15 years is offered *in case of own electricity generation 15
