Innovation in Action: Harvey Mudd College Clinic Team at Aris Hydronics

We were thrilled to welcome the Harvey Mudd Engineering Clinic team to Aris headquarters. This talented group has been collaborating with us on the development of our recessed fan-coil product line — a key part of our vision for compact, aesthetic-forward, high-efficiency hydronic comfort.

The team delivered an insightful presentation sharing their early research, component analysis, and preliminary testing. Their work is already bringing a fresh, analytical perspective to the future of low-voltage, high-performance fan coils.

After the presentation, we toured the Thermal Plant Pod (TPP) test site, where the students saw how modular components, thermal storage, and system controls integrate into a full-scale Aris environment. Seeing the entire ecosystem in action helped connect their design work to real-world constraints and opportunities.

Collaborations like this bring new energy and ideas to the challenges of modern building comfort and electrification. We’re grateful for the team’s curiosity and engagement — and we’re looking forward to supporting their progress throughout the upcoming year.
