As ThermoTerra states, “The company’s long-term goal is to develop a construction element to be integrated into buildings that reduces or even eliminates the need for heating, cooling or humidity balancing. This element might be a prefabricated wall, insulation panel, underfloor heating, or even active insulating coating for warehouse rooftop.”  

So, what is Humidity power management and how it is connected to sustainable energy?

Humidity power management is a technique that uses humidity to generate electricity. This can be done through a process known as the humidity differential power generation (HDPG) process, which involves using the difference in humidity between two air streams to generate electricity. Humidity power management is considered a renewable energy source because it relies on the natural process of evaporation and condensation, which are driven by the sun’s energy. The HDPG process generates electricity without the need for fossil fuels, which means that it does not produce carbon emissions. This can help reduce the overall carbon footprint of the energy system and contribute to the transition to a more sustainable energy mix. Humidity power management is used to increase the energy efficiency of certain processes or systems. to capture waste heat and humidity from industrial processes and convert it into electricity, for example, thereby reducing the energy that is needed from other sources.
