# Revitalizing urban spaces for a warming planet.

AERISIO is a Nordic property and climate tech company.

## Cities are warming. Outdoor spaces suffer. AERISIO restores them.

## Learn how AERISIO began.

In summer 2025, we stood in Sundance Square Plaza in Dallas–Fort Worth, Texas, where we watched children play in a large-scale walkable fountain developed on a former parking lot. The heat was dry and the pavement made it hotter still, but the plaza was full. Cafés were busy, shops were active, and people lingered outside instead of retreating to the air-conditioned indoors.

Later, we read more about the plaza in an [Urban Land Institute report](https://knowledge.uli.org/-/media/files/research-reports/2019/scorched-final-pdf.pdf). Within six months of the plaza opening, the surrounding area experienced a 20% increase in retail sales, a tenfold rise in event attendance, and a 5% increase in residential prices. However, the project took +5 years to deliver, 30-million US dollars, 30% of which was spent on design and engineering, as well as 18 months of construction disruption.

What stayed with us was not the fountain itself, but the question it raised. Why do positive climate-adaptive outcomes like this require years of planning, design, engineering, zoning, permitting, excavation, and construction?

We asked ourselves:  What would change if it didn’t?

That question became [AERISIO](https://aerisio.com/?hsLang=en) — the fast, smart, modular alternative to traditional cooling placemaking. Our premiere product, the [AERISIO Oasis](https://aerisio.com/oasis?hsLang=en), is a walkable cooling fountain that installs above ground on any hard surface in days. Design and engineering is automated with the AERISIO Configurator. Operation is managed by AERISIO's WAVE edge intelligence.

This is architectural-grade cooling placemaking, delivered as a product.

Heat seasons are getting longer and more intense. We built AERISIO because cities and properties have to adapt to the reality of today, without having to wait years for relief.

AERISIO is a Nordic property and climate technology company headquartered in Finland.
