Founded in 2021, MoistMaster is a technology company originating from Tampere University that develops smart solutions for moisture management and energy-efficient dry heating in buildings. The company aims to help property owners prevent moisture damage and improve the energy efficiency of buildings.
MoistMaster’s solution monitors conditions within a building and controls the heating according to need. The technology is particularly suitable for holiday homes, storage facilities and other buildings where moisture management is essential for preserving the structures.
Impact
MoistMaster helps reduce the risk of moisture damage and extend the service life of building structures. At the same time, the solution can reduce energy consumption compared with continuous background heating.
The company’s technology supports the sustainable use of properties by combining building condition monitoring and energy-efficient heating in a single solution.
Background
MoistMaster is based on research conducted at Tampere University in building physics, moisture management and energy efficiency. The commercialisation of the research results was supported by Business Finland’s Research to Business funding, formerly known in Finnish as Tutkimuksesta liiketoimintaa (TutLi). The company was established to bring the smart dry heating solution developed through this research to market.
