Xerox PARC’s Mojave HVAC System
Mojave Energy Systems is transforming the HVAC industry by tackling the massive environmental footprint of modern air conditioning, which currently accounts for roughly 10% of global electricity consumption. Powered by Xerox PARC’s innovative "liquid desiccant dehumidification" technology, this patented system overcomes the humidity-control inefficiencies of legacy vapor compression systems to slash energy draw by 40–60%. Ideal for new, retrofit, or replacement applications on low-rise buildings, Mojave delivers a completely reimagined clean technology that drastically improves indoor air quality by reducing airborne particulate matter.
To visually capture this groundbreaking innovation, Studio Backs developed a fresh, sophisticated form language for the system, intentionally breaking away from the uninspiring, boxy construction methods typical of standard shipping containers to capture a healthier, more sustainable, and visually elevated climate control solution.
