Villara Corporation's AquaThermAire system has received the 2024 Sacramento Inno Award for its all-electric integration of heating, cooling, and water heating. Designed to address traditional heat pump limitations, AquaThermAire supports California's 2050 carbon-free goals by delivering efficient, emission-free performance and significant utility savings.
The Sacramento Inno Awards recognize impactful regional innovations, and AquaThermAire's eco-conscious design aligns with these standards by reducing energy spikes typical of traditional systems. This system, already installed in six new home communities, appeals to both homeowners and developers seeking sustainable, cost-effective solutions that comply with California's energy standards.
Villara CEO Rick Wylie emphasized the company's commitment to a carbon-free future, highlighting AquaThermAire's role in providing Californians with reliable and affordable zero-carbon living options.
AquaThermAire's integrated design cuts installation costs, making it attractive to developers and environmentally conscious buyers. Collaborations with UC Davis researchers aim to establish energy models that could standardize and certify such innovations in the future.
