As cooling demand rises across Canada, Transaera’s heat pump technology is drawing attention for tackling one of air conditioning’s most energy-intensive jobs: managing humidity.
In a recent feature with The Energy Mix, co-founder and CTO Ross Bonner explained how conventional air conditioners handle this inefficiently. They overcool air to wring out moisture, then reheat it to a comfortable temperature, a process that can account for as much as half of a unit’s total energy use.
The article points to where this matters most across Canada, highlighting Southern Ontario, Quebec’s St. Lawrence corridor, and coastal British Columbia as regions where humidity drives significant cooling loads in commercial buildings.
