A new table is invented to absorb heat during the day and keep the house warm at night. The air conditioning has made to cool down the heat , and we can enjoy the breeze inside no matter we live in a dessert climate or the tropics. But there is also disadvantage of using air conditioning. It runs with electricity. It takes up 5 percent of all the electricity generated in the United Sates and it comes with a total amount of $11 billion per year. This data came from the United States Department of Energy.
The high-efficiency air conditioner, however can decrease energy by up to 50 percent. It still charges a lot. So there is a new breakthrough from two Paris-based designer that they have created a viable solution in the form of a table base on Dezeen. It presents the first design in the pair’s Zero Energy Furniture line, and it was showed by the designers at Milan Design Week.
This table is call ZEF Climatic Table. Its designers are Raphaël Ménard and Jean-Sébastien Lagrange. When you walk by it, you may think it is just an normal dinning table like the ones we use at home, but this is what its magic from. It has polished sleep oak exterior, the table can be placed any where you like. This table turn into working when the temperature in your room reaches 71 degrees Fahrenheit.
There is a layer of corrugated aluminum that comes with a special phase, it can change the material wax when it softens at 71 degrees Fahrenheit. It starts to absorb the heats in the room while it reaches this temperature. It can release heat as long as the inside temperature drops down to 71 degrees Fahrenheit. The phase-changing material become solidified and and starting to emit the heat it absorbed.
