Seoul presented the perfect opportunity, with high summer temperatures and moderate-to-high relative humidity.
An important factor with this installation was that while the local weather ambient was measured at 30°C, the actual unit ambient temperature at the condenser face was 35°C. This was shown to be due to the heat rejection from the HVAC equipment itself, and furthermore, other surrounding units in close proximity.
This site illustrates the "artificial ambient" effect common on rooftops and present in densely packed installations, where units operate in significantly hotter conditions than the natural environment. This effect is often referred to as the domino effect.
Below is a visual graphic showcasing this impact and how EcoMESH offers a significant benefit:

The installed EcoMESH systems delivered highly effective cooling, achieving a 6°C reduction across the mesh and bringing the unit operating ambient down from 35°C to 29°C. This not only eliminated the artificial heat gain but also delivered air cooler than the true local ambient.
