Berbel has a unit that opens when using the unit and closes, when not in use. Quite ingenious, if you ask me.

That's clever, but this [1] is already common and I guess not much worse?

It is much worse. The Berbel retains the insulation provided by the wall, when closed. This is nothing more than a fancy hole in the wall.

Opening and closing, means you get the best of both worlds.
