Wirth Research Mission Statement: \"We believe life can be more enjoyable and more sustainable through our technologies. We are able to make buildings better to live, work and shop in; to make vehicles more energy-efficient; and do all of this while providing our clients with a compelling return on their investment. We’d love to hear about your energy consumption and ESG issues, particularly those linked to air or thermal inefficiencies, where our world-leading knowledge and application of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) allows us to see what others can’t.\"

Results, Challenges and Outlook *

7.1 Provide any additional comments or context on your annual results and progress from previous years.

*
Our deployed equipment portfolio has expanded significantly in the last 18 months with major retailers adopting our equipment in their stores. We have 3 new technologies coming online in 2026 which will make a significant impact in the HVAC sector by reducing or eliminating the need for gas heating in a retail or office setting. We have reduced our operating emissions by moving to a Passive Haus co-working facility, switching to predominately remote working, and moving our computational equipment to a data centre in Iceland so that it can be powered by 100% geothermal energy. We have just started to log our supply chain emissions and are looking to re-shore our EcoBlade manufacturing in order to reduce these emissions further.

7.2 Do you face any key challenges in reducing emissions?

*
