The Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) has developed a hybrid dehumidification and cooling system as an alternative to conventional electric heat pumps. By utilizing waste heat, the system can reduce electricity consumption by 30%. This innovative technology is expected to contribute to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.

The Urban Energy Research Division at KIST has developed a heat exchanger using advanced polymer materials, significantly improving ventilation energy recovery technology. This system can reduce indoor heating and cooling energy consumption by over 30%.

Lee Dae-Young, Director at KIST, received Ji Seok-Yeong Award by the Korean Intellectual Property Office in recognition of his invention of a polymer desiccant with 5 times greater dehumidification capacity than conventional materials.

Dr. Lee Dae-Young of KIST announced plans to develop dehumidifier. The technology is recognized as an efficient solution for reducing electricity consumption and alleviating power overload issues during the summer months.

Korea District Heating Corporation plans to implement a dehumidification cooling system in apartment by 2013. The system aims to improve energy efficiency, provide a comfortable indoor environment, and ultimately expand into overseas markets.

Korea District Heating Corporation plans to pilot its dehumidification cooling system in 50 households starting next year. This eco-friendly technology offers significant energy savings and CO₂ emission reduction. Its ability to utilize various heat sources positions it as a promising and innovative solution in the global market.
