A digital thermostat for a new fresh-air home air conditioning system that features a unique visual indicator showing the functional state: heat (red), cool (blue), or outside fresh air (green).

Nature's Cooling Solutions wanted a thermostat design to showcase their new fresh-air air conditioning technology. We used a clean and minimalistic design for the thermostat to integrate well into diverse households. To celebrate the unique fresh-air intake capability of our client's eco-thermostat, we used color as a metaphor to visually inform the user of the device status.
