Heating and cooling of buildings is responsible for 15% of the total energy use and 11% of GHG emissions in Canada. With no harmful materials, no moving parts, and negligible electrical power input, sorption heat transformers (SHTs) is an emerging technology capable of providing sustainable cooling, heating, and thermal energy storage for buildings.**We propose a ground-breaking approach to develop a scalable, modular SHT. The program aims to develop: i) new consolidated sorbent composites; ii) a novel refrigerant mixture with saturation pressure close to atmospheric pressure; iii) innovative heat exchangers fabricated through advanced manufacturing methods, e.g., 3D printing; and iv) a market-ready SHT prototype module. The SHT has tremendous potential for creating intellectual property and commercialization. It is a flexible technology capable of providing 100% renewable cooling and heating all-year round [utilizing solar, ambient, or urban/industrial low-grade heat]**reducing up to 2 tCO2 emission/year/single-family house. Feasibility and efficiency of the SHT will also be tested in district energy network through the collaboration with the City of Surrey, BC.**This program is an expansion of an ongoing collaboration between Simon Fraser University (SFU), University of Victoria (UVic), and CanmetENERGY-Ottawa (CE-O), a leading federal research organization in clean energy. The program is structured to strengthen Canada's research ecosystem through conducting innovative research in partnership with CE-O and participation in international projects enhancing the stand and impact of Canadian climate change research. Moreover, by forming and expanding interdisciplinary research focusing on energy efficiency and sustainability, the program will strengthen the capacity of SFU and UVic to support the objectives of the Pan-Canadian Framework on Clean Growth and Climate Change, and will facilitate the**development of science-informed policy in the energy and building sectors.

建筑物的供暖和冷却造成了加拿大总能源利用的15％和11％的温室气体排放。由于没有有害的材料，没有运动部件和可忽略不计的电力输入，吸附热变压器（SHTS）是一项能够为建筑物提供可持续的冷却，加热和热量存储的新兴技术。该计划旨在开发：i）新的合并吸附的复合材料； ii）一种新型制冷剂混合物，饱和压力接近大气压力； iii）通过高级制造方法制造的创新热交换器，例如3D打印；和iv）一个可以进行市场准备就绪的SHT原型模块。 SHT具有创造知识产权和商业化的巨大潜力。这是一项灵活的技术，能够全年提供100％可再生冷却和供暖（利用太阳能，环境或城市/工业低级热量）**，可降低2 TCO2排放/年/年/单户住宅。 SHT的可行性和效率也将通过与不列颠哥伦比亚省萨里市的合作进行在地区能源网络中进行测试。该计划旨在通过与CE-O合作进行创新研究，并参与国际项目，从而增强加拿大气候变化研究的立场和影响，从而增强加拿大的研究生态系统。此外，通过成立和扩大跨学科研究，该研究以能源效率和可持续性为重点，该计划将增强SFU和UVIC的能力，以支持Pan-Canadian在清洁增长和气候变化方面的目标，并将促进能源和建筑领域科学政策的**制定。
