Facts and Figures
MISTREE offers a highly efficient, low-power and low-volume water cooling solution designed specifically for large outdoor areas. By utilising fine atomised mist and the natural principles of evaporative cooling, it can significantly reduce ambient temperatures by up to 10 °C in optimum conditions while consuming only a fraction of the energy and water required by traditional cooling systems.
This makes MISTREE ideal for environmentally conscious urban developments, where sustainability and performance go hand in hand.

Flexible Design & Architectural Integration
Whether showcased as a single landmark or grouped to form a dynamic arrangement, our MISTREE technology offers boundless possibilities for innovative urban design.
A single MISTREE can serve as the focal point of a city square, drawing attention to its unique stainless steel artistry and providing a refreshing communal space. For larger-scale developments, multiples can be installed to form a boulevard or “orchard” of cooling installations, ensuring a comfortable corridor for pedestrians while creating a visually striking landmark.
Architects and planners can seamlessly weave the MISTREE into diverse environments, elevating both the aesthetic and functional qualities of any outdoor setting.
Feature Layout
A single MISTREE or a small group can serve as a striking focal point in a public square or piazza, providing both a sculptural statement and a practical cooling solution. By focusing on a small space, architects and planners can create a memorable landmark that anchors the surrounding space and invites people to gather, pause, and cool off.
Avenue Layout
Arranging multiples along a walkway, boulevard, or shopping district establishes a welcoming corridor of shade and mist. This linear design not only enhances pedestrian comfort but also creates a visually cohesive identity. Avenues can become iconic destinations that encourage outdoor activities even in the hottest climates.
Orchard Layout
A MISTREE cluster or “orchard” can redefine larger public environments, such as parks and open-air entertainment venues. This arrangement fosters social interaction in spaces that might otherwise be underutilised, while introducing a unique nature-inspired aesthetic.
How Evaporative Cooling Powers The MISTREE
By harnessing the principles of evaporation – where heat is transferred from the air to water droplets – MISTREE offers a highly efficient method for lowering air temperatures, especially in regions with extreme heat, delivering a cooler more comfortable environment without wetting surfaces.
Water Droplet Dispersion
MISTREE releases an ultra-fine mist of water droplets through specialised nozzles, strategically placed to maximize coverage around the installation. In hot environments, these tiny droplets are quickly exposed to high ambient temperatures, setting the stage for rapid evaporation.
Heat Absorption
As the mist evaporates, it absorbs heat energy from the surrounding air. This natural exchange process lowers the immediate temperature around the MISTREE, creating a cool and refreshing microclimate that stands out against the scorching heat of the broader environment, without wetting the surrounding area.
Temperature Reduction
The result is a comfortable, cooler space. By incorporating stainless steel into the structure and seamlessly integrating misting components, the MISTREE not only offers striking visual appeal but also delivers an energy-efficient, eco-friendly solution for combating extreme urban heat.

The Challenge Of Extreme Heat
High Ambient Temperatures: In scorching climates, surface temperatures can rapidly reach dangerous levels, leading to heat stress and diminished public comfort.
Risks and Impact: Prolonged exposure can cause health issues like dehydration or heatstroke, discourage outdoor gatherings, and reduce the overall usability of public or commercial spaces.
Why MISTREE’s Approach Matters: Unlike conventional air conditioning that is often impractical for open environments, evaporative cooling offers a targeted solution for large outdoor areas.
Evening Lighting
Coloured Glow & Atmosphere: At night, the MISTREE integrated lighting system illuminates the lingering mist, creating a captivating, coloured glow that transforms the structure into a visual centrepiece.
Remote Control & Programming: Easily manage lighting cycles, colour transitions, and decorative patterns through a dedicated control system, making it simple to synchronize effects with events or citywide festivities.
Enhanced Landmark Value: The evening display elevates MISTREE from a purely functional cooling device to a multi-sensory attraction, drawing visitors and extending the social life of outdoor areas well into the night.
Mist & Lighting Control And Integration
A single MISTREE consists of nine misting pods, each incorporating a high-output, individually addressable RGBW LED luminaire. DMX512 provides independent control of both mist emission patterns and lighting output, enabling fully programmable animation, dynamic colour mixing and ambient lighting scenes across multiple trees from a central control unit.
The control unit provides Ethernet and Wi-Fi connectivity for system configuration scheduling and integration with existing architectural lighting control infrastructures using DALI, Art-Net and SACN. The system architecture supports scalable deployments from single installations to large multi-tree lighting environments.
The system is engineered for reliable continuous operation in demanding outdoor environments. User operation and preset management are available via a mobile application and web-based interface.
Synchronisation
MISTREE features DMX512 and Art-Net control at its core, enabling real-time synchronisation with music playback systems. The system can respond subtly to sound with gentle pulsing light and mist effects, or shift into full performance mode where lighting and atmosphere become part of a live DJ set or immersive event environment.
Designed for both permanent and seasonal installations, MISTREE integrates easily into existing lighting and AV control systems, making it suitable for public spaces, events, festivals and architectural environments.
