Innovation

1. Using waste exhaust heat as the energy source to generate the machine.
2. Using water and Lithium Bromide (LiBr) which are natural as refrigerant medium replacing Chlorofluorocarbon (CFC), so it is good for our ozone.
3. The chiller machine can use many kinds of energy source like natural gas, waste heat etc., and also can produce multi output like cooling / heating air for air conditioner, and produce chilled water over 50C and hot water below 950C.
4. To get holistic solution for energy efficiency, broad also developed technology innovation in building design and construction and also air purification. They are developing sky city concept as the next way of urbanization, one city in one building that is safe, practical, affordable, and efficient.

Inspiration

1. Use less energy or more efficient in using the energy.
