Active Insulation Systems B.V. (AIS) was founded on February 14, 2018. Shareholders are Dona + Beheer B.V. and PBM Holding Veldhoven B.V. AIS is registered in the trade register in Eindhoven .
The idea of making insulation switchable dates back to 2008. On March 27, 2009, a Dutch patent was granted under number 1036775. On March 9, 2016, a European patent was granted under number 2233655. A great deal of research was carried out in the period 2008 to 2018 and market parties were approached. A feasibility study was carried out in 2009 and 2010 with a subsidy from the Dutch government. During that period, there was collaboration with ECN in Petten (Energy research Center of the Netherlands) and SBR (Stichting Bouw Research Nederland). A lot of time has been spent on obtaining grants for research. AIS was established in 2018 and preparations for a pilot project started. This was achieved in 2020 in Hapert in collaboration with SER (Smart Energy Regions) and TU/e (Roel Loonen). In the period 2018 to 2020, insulation panels were built, electronics installed and software developed for controlling the active insulation boards in the test building.
In 2017, the following research was carried out together with TU/e (Roel Loonen and Stefan Koenders); Computational performance assessment of a dynamic insulation system. In 2018 Stefan Koenders TU/e completed the Master Thesis Computational assessment of the performance of a forced convective dynamic insulation system.
The aim of AIS is to further develop active insulation.
