We design solid-state heating and cooling systems at a building scale.


Industries are rapidly moving to an electrified solid-state world. HVAC will be next. This means no refrigerants, no moving parts, and fewer greenhouse gas emissions.

Our Partners.

MIMiC Systems would like to thank the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) for its support of non-dilutive funding through the Advanced Buildings Program. MIMiC Systems has also benefitted as a participant in NYSERDA’s Entrepreneur In Residence (EIR) program.


We’re leading experts in thermoelectrics and building technology.

With decades of experience in thermoelectrics and building technology, we're the ideal team to make solid-state heat pumps a reality.

Why Solid-State?

No Refrigerants

Refrigerants used in commercial HVAC are harmful chemicals, some more than 1000x more harmful to climate than CO2. Solid-state heating and cooling completely eliminates the need for refrigerants.

No Moving parts

Solid-state heat pumps require virtually no moving parts, making the system maintenance-free and reducing the cost of operation.

Silent Operation

Because there is no compressor, a solid-state heat pump is vibration and noise free, making its use much more comfortable in a residential context.
