According to Statistics Canada, heating and cooling account for about 56% for a typical Canadian home. And as for the US, energy.gov reports this to be 48% for a typical US home, making it the largest energy expense for most homes. Smart Cocoon’s smart booster fans work with smart thermostats to bring true and smart climate control for homes.
