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.

建筑物的供暖和制冷消耗了加拿大总能源消耗的 15% 和温室气体排放量的 11%。吸附式热变压器 (SHT) 不含有害材料、无移动部件且电力输入可忽略不计，是一项新兴技术，能够为建筑物提供可持续的冷却、加热和热能存储。 我们提出了一种突破性的方法来开发可扩展的模块化 SHT。该计划旨在开发： i) 新的固结吸附剂复合材料； ii) 饱和压力接近大气压的新型制冷剂混合物； iii) 通过先进制造方法（例如 3D 打印）制造的创新热交换器； iv) 市场就绪的 SHT 原型模块。 SHT 在创造知识产权和商业化方面具有巨大的潜力。它是一项灵活的技术，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/工业低品位热量] 每户单户住宅每年可减少高达 2 吨二氧化碳排放量。 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在区域能源网络中进行测试。 该项目是西蒙弗雷泽大学 (SFU)、维多利亚大学 (UVic) 和 CanmetENERGY-Ottawa (CE-O) 之间持续合作的扩展，CanmetENERGY-Ottawa (CE-O) 是清洁能源方面领先的联邦研究组织。该计划旨在通过与 CE-O 合作开展创新研究以及参与提高加拿大气候变化研究的地位和影响的国际项目来加强加拿大的研究生态系统。此外，通过形成和扩大以能源效率和可持续性为重点的跨学科研究，该计划将加强 SFU 和维多利亚大学支持泛加拿大清洁增长和气候变化框架目标的能力，并将促进 在能源和建筑领域制定科学政策。
