Extremis
Introduction
Extremis Technology is an engineering company based between Norwich and Cambridge in the UK. Extremis designs and invents low cost, folding, stormproof portable shelter solutions which are manufactured under license worldwide.
The Hush Shelter can be deployed from a single folding piece using unskilled labour without the need for any tools or additional parts. Each shelter can be unfolded and erected in just a few minutes allowing an entire community or workforce to benefit from solid and robust shelter provision.
In 2018 a team from Extremis and The University of Bath assembled the latest prototype at the Building Research Park. Images from the construction can be seen below:
Sensing
The shelter is instrumented with sensing for temperature and relative humidity. The data collected from these sensors will be used to inform our thermal modelling work. As publications using these data become available, we will link to them here.
