NEWARK, Del., Jan. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The global commercial building landscape is undergoing a “respiratory” revolution. According to a comprehensive new market report, the Global Dedicated Outdoor Air System (DOAS) Market is valued at USD 5.2 billion in 2025 and is projected to skyrocket to USD 12.4 billion by 2035.

This steady 9.0% CAGR reflects a fundamental shift in how we design indoor environments. In a post-pandemic world, “good enough” ventilation is no longer acceptable. Facility managers are pivotting toward DOAS—technology that decouples the heating and cooling of a building from its ventilation—ensuring 100% fresh air delivery without the massive energy penalty of traditional HVAC systems.

“Driven by a 9.0% CAGR, Dedicated Outdoor Air Systems (DOAS) are Moving from Niche Efficiency Tools to Essential Infrastructure for Post-Pandemic Building Safety and Net-Zero Goals.”

Decoupling the Load: The Science of Efficiency

Traditional HVAC systems often struggle to manage humidity while cooling a space. DOAS solves this by handling the “latent load” (moisture) and “sensible load” (temperature) separately. This allows for precise humidity control, which is mission-critical for hospitals, data centers, and schools.

Key Market Takeaways (2025-2035):

• Dominant Capacity: Mid-sized systems (20-40 Tons) lead the market with a 40.0% share, offering the perfect balance for office buildings and educational facilities.
• The Retrofit Boom: Retrofit applications account for 56.0% of the market, as aging commercial stock is modernized to meet new IAQ (Indoor Air Quality) codes.
• Energy Savings: Advanced DOAS configurations are proven to reduce total HVAC energy consumption by 30-40%, a critical metric for buildings aiming for LEED or Net-Zero certifications.

Quick Stats: Market Outlook at a Glance

The Growth Equation: Why DOAS? Why Now?

The market expansion is fueled by three primary drivers:

1. IAQ Regulation Tightening: Codes like ASHRAE 62.1 are becoming more stringent, mandating higher fresh-air intake to protect occupant health.
2. Sustainability Mandates: With real estate owners facing “carbon taxes” in some jurisdictions, the energy recovery capabilities of DOAS (often exceeding 80% effectiveness) are financial lifesavers.
3. Humidity Management: Precise dehumidification is now a requirement for infection control in healthcare and preventing mold in high-occupancy schools.

Regional Powerhouses: The Rise of East Asia

While North America and Europe remain established leaders due to strict building codes, East Asia is the new frontier for growth.

• South Korea (11.5% CAGR): The global growth leader, driven by “Smart City” initiatives in Seoul and Busan. High-rise density necessitates the compact, vertical DOAS configurations that South Korean developers favor.
• India (10.8% CAGR): Fueled by a massive boom in Tier-1 city technology parks and data centers requiring precise moisture control.
• United States (9.2% CAGR): The “Stability Leader,” where growth is anchored in a massive wave of school and hospital retrofits funded by post-pandemic infrastructure grants.

Strategic Opportunity Pathways

The report identifies several key “Pathways” for stakeholders to capture value:

• Pathway A: Mid-Capacity Leadership: Companies focusing on the 20-40 ton range are expected to tap into a revenue pool of USD 630-820 million by optimizing modular scalability.
• Pathway E: Energy Recovery Excellence: As net-zero targets loom, systems with 80%+ energy recovery effectiveness will command premium pricing, targeting a USD 360-470 million revenue segment.
• Pathway G: Smart Integration: The future of DOAS lies in cloud connectivity and predictive maintenance, allowing building owners to monitor IAQ in real-time via smartphone apps.

The Competitive Landscape

The market is dominated by global engineering titans, including Daikin Applied, Johnson Controls, Carrier, and Trane Technologies. These players are moving beyond simple “air moving” to offering “environmental intelligence.” Competition is moderate but intensifying as specialty manufacturers like Greenheck and Munters innovate in high-efficiency energy wheels and desiccant dehumidification.

“The DOAS market is no longer just about moving air; it’s about managing the ‘Health Score’ of a building,” says an industry analyst. “In 2035, a building without a dedicated outdoor air system will be as obsolete as a building without high-speed internet.”

About the Report

This 900-word executive briefing is based on the “Dedicated Outdoor Air System (DOAS) Market Forecast and Outlook (2025-2035)” report. It provides a granular analysis of capacity segments, implementation types (Retrofit vs. New Construction), and vertical applications across 40+ countries.

To be developed in partnership with First Nations, this priority investment is a foundational link to expand the electricity system in the province’s far north

TORONTO, Jan. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ – Today, the Honourable Stephen Lecce, Minister of Energy and Mines directed the Ontario Energy Board to designate Hydro One Networks Inc. (Hydro One) to develop and construct a new priority transmission line in the Greenstone region. Once complete, the Greenstone Transmission Line will provide additional capacity to the area and improve reliability for northern communities. The line is also expected to drive economic development and support Indigenous community growth.

The proposed project is a single-circuit 230-kilovolt (kV) transmission line, designed to support a future second circuit and will be connected to the existing 230-kV infrastructure (the East-West Tie) near Nipigon Bay. The line will extend to Longlac Transformer Station where a new 230-kV station will connect to the existing 115-kV circuit and continue to or near Aroland First Nation, terminating at a new 230-kV switching station with associated station facilities. The line is expected to be in-service in 2032.

Through Hydro One’s industry-leading First Nation 50-50 Equity Partnership Model, proximate First Nations will have the opportunity to invest in a 50 per cent equity stake in the transmission line component of the project. Together, Hydro One and the proximate First Nations will collaborate on the planning, development and construction of the transmission line.

Quotes

“The designation of this line is the result of three years of collaboration between First Nations, Hydro One and Ontario. We are grateful to have been selected as a partner of choice by the First Nations who advocated for the line, and look forward to developing this project together,” said David Lebeter, President and CEO, Hydro One. “This line is foundational to building a secure and reliable electricity system in the north—one that supports every community in the region. In the process of building it, we’re also strengthening local economic prosperity by partnering with First Nations and sourcing goods and services from Canadian, Ontario and Indigenous suppliers.”

“Last year, our government took action to bolster our self-reliance by reducing the permitting timelines by 50 per cent to build mines faster, along with a new processing fund to end the ripping and shipping of our resources abroad,” said the Hon. Stephen Lecce, Minister of Energy and Mines. “We are putting Canada first by accelerating a plan to create 20,000 jobs. With President Trump’s economic assault on our country, Ontario is officially giving the greenlight to build the Greenstone Transmission Line, delivering the energy backbone and infrastructure to unlock the Ring of Fire’s vast mineral potential. Ontario has what the world needs as a reliable and stable democratic partner, and that is why we are unlocking one of the largest undeveloped, high-grade deposits of critical minerals on earth.”

“The Ontario Government’s designation of the Greenstone Transmission Line marks a historic and transformative milestone for our region. This project will not only enable First Nations to secure meaningful equity ownership in major Canadian infrastructure, but it will also deliver reliable power to the seven communities that have long faced chronic service disruptions with extended outages,” said Chief Allan Odawa Jr., Red Rock Indian Band. “We extend our appreciation to our First Nation partners for their continued leadership and collaboration throughout this process. We also acknowledge Hydro One for their outstanding commitment and hard work in advancing this project. Finally, I would like to thank everyone from Red Rock Indian Band that worked on this project and took a concept and made it a reality.”

“We are very proud to work with our fellow communities to develop the Greenstone Transmission Line,” said Chief Sonny Gagnon, Aroland First Nation. “Our community and the communities we are working with have been plagued by unreliable and inadequate energy resources for our region limiting growth and opportunities. This will create more reliable energy for our membership and eventually to the communities to the north.”

“The Greenstone Transmission Line will bring much-needed infrastructure improvements to the region. As my community continues to develop, we will benefit from improved electricity reliability and increased capacity to support future growth and economic opportunities,” said Chief Yvette Metansinine, Animbiigoo Zaagi’igan Anishinaabek. “Our partnership with Hydro One will be a meaningful step towards economic reconciliation — helping us create generational wealth while building the electrical infrastructure our community and local economy need to thrive.”

“This new transmission line will provide us with the necessary power to continue building our community but also provide the capacity to enable critical mining and energy projects to further develop the Greenstone region,” said Chief Paul Gladu, Bingwi Neyaashi Anishinaabek. “We are thrilled to be working jointly in partnership with our neighbouring First Nations on the development of this critical transmission project.”

“Biinjitiwaabik Zaaging Anishinabek/Rocky Bay First Nation proudly announces an inspiring milestone we have achieved as we officially announce a partnership between Hydro One and six other First Nations in our area,” said Chief Gladys Thompson, Biinjitiwaabik Zaaging Anishinabek. “This collaboration stands as a testament to the power of unity, respect and shared vision. By working together, we can ensure access to reliable energy, create meaningful employment opportunities and support local infrastructure initiatives that foster prosperity for all. Our initiatives will prioritize training, skills development and capacity-building, ensuring that community members participate fully in these exciting new endeavours. This partnership is a real step towards reconciliation. By recognizing and respecting the rights and voices of First Nations communities, we are demonstrating that progress is best achieved when we walk the path together. We are grateful for the trust extended to us and look forward to deepening relationships, understanding and collaboration in the years ahead.”

“Opportunities like investment and oversight in the Greenstone Transmission Line honour the spirit and intent of the Treaty Relationship. It’s heartening to see our communities start to become equal partners,” said Chief Sheri Taylor, Ginoogaming First Nation. “First Nations are looking toward a bright future of more frequent collaboration in our many shared interests. In order for us to exercise our sovereignty, we must have own-source funding for independence. Economic development opportunities are integral to our community’s development, and equity investments are a path forward to resolving our challenges today. There’s still a lot of work to do. This is just one project, and just a start – there’s more to come. We’re willing to do our share of the work.”

“Long Lake #58 First Nation is pleased to be part of building the foundation for greater economic prosperity for our community and the region,” said Chief Judy Desmoulin, Long Lake #58 First Nation. “By partnering in the development of this transmission line and securing ownership in the asset, we are strengthening our role as stewards of the land while creating meaningful opportunities for our people. This project reflects our commitment to self–determination, long–term economic growth, and collaborative relationships that respect our rights, our vision and our future generations.”

TEL AVIV, Israel, Jan. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — TASE (TASE:TASE)  is expanding its range of investment products and announces the launch of two new equity indices – TA-Technology 35 and TA-Israel Energy.

The launch of these new indices follows the growing interest shown by local and foreign investors in these sectors and is designed to provide investors with a wider variety of investment products, increase the competition in the capital market, and enhance liquidity on TASE.

The new Indices will join 5 new equity indices and 3 new bond indices launched in the past six months, to name a few the TA-Real Estate 35, TA-Infrastructures, and TA-Defense indices.

With the launch of the new indices, issuers of tracking products, such as investment houses and insurance companies, are expected to develop and offer the public unique investment products that will track the new indices. These new products will provide the public with a wider variety of investment options.

TASE expects to launch additional new indices during the coming year.

TA-Technology 35 Index – The Israeli Blue-Chip Index

Following the success of the flagship TA-35 index and the significant interest recorded for the new TA-Real Estate 35 index and the tracking products launched on it shortly after its launch, TASE decided to expand the successful brand and launch the technological blue-chip index, the TA-Technology 35 index. 

The index will exclusively comprise of the 35 shares with the highest market cap in the TA-Technology index, similar to the Nasdaq 100, and will serve as a home for leading technology companies concurrently listed abroad, which will be registered via dual listing. The combined market cap of the shares that are expected to be included in the index upon its launch is upwards of NIS 424 billion. The market cap of the largest share expected to be included (Elbit Systems) stands at NIS 105 billion, while the market cap of the smallest share (Perrion Networks) stands at NIS 1.2 billion.

The index methodology will follow the familiar methodology of the TA-35 index, which allows for high liquidity; therefore, the market cap limit is significant for institutional investors. The new index will increase competition for inclusion in the new flagship index of the local technology sector and will serve as an underline asset for future launch of derivatives on the index.

To date, only NIS 863 million is invested in the TA-Technology index – an under-penetration for a leading index, despite the market cap of its constituent shares approximating that of the banks, which are tracked by NIS 40 billion in index-tracking and managed products.

TA-Israel Energy Index – The Home Index of Israeli Energy

For the first time, the index will include all energy sectors on TASE – fossil energy, oil and gas exploration, and renewable energy (cleantech), gas producers, electricity producers, and refiners.  The index is expected to include 27 shares of companies operating in various energy fields (oil and gas production, renewable energy, and energy such as electricity generation, refineries, gas stations, etc.).

The minimum market cap requirement for inclusion in the index will be NIS 500,000 million. The combined market cap of the shares that are expected to be included in the index upon its launch is upwards of NIS 219 billion. The market cap of the 8 largest shares that are expected to be included in the index upon its launch will be upwards of NIS 10 billion per company. The weight cap for a share of a company incorporated in Israel will be 7%, while the weight cap for a share of a company with an Israeli orientation incorporated outside of Israel (e.g., Ormat Technologies, Kenon, and Energean) will be only 3%. The expected sub-sector breakdown of the index at its launch will include 35% from the oil and gas exploration field, 36% from the renewable energy field, and 29% from the energy field.

The green energy sector is experiencing significant momentum, with many Israeli companies initiating and leading large-scale projects worldwide, alongside high growth potential in the local market. Furthermore, the rapid development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies and massive investments in data centers are creating unprecedented demand for electricity and increasing the need for diverse energy solutions based on various sources. The sector, which includes natural gas production, traditional energy production, and green energy production, enjoys growing demand. The State of Israel has been blessed with significant gas discoveries that have made it energy-independent and even a regional gas exporter. Recognizing the untapped potential and current under-exposure of the Israeli public to direct investment in the energy sector, TASE is confident that the launch of the new index will provide investors more immediate access and boost the diversity and depth of investments in this sector.

The launch date for both new indices is February 6, 2026.

GOTHENBURG, Sweden, Jan. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Stena RoRo has placed a historic order for a new generation of RoRo vessels comprising two firm vessels of the C-Flexer type with options for an additional four. The deal marks an important step in the company’s long-term strategy to offer flexible and future-proof RoRo ships to the global market. The vessels have been developed by Stena RoRo in close cooperation with the Italian design company NAOS Ship and Boat Design.

“With Stena RoRo’s extensive experience and market knowledge, combined with NAOS’ outstanding expertise in designing fuel-efficient RoRo and RoPax vessels, we have developed ships that are built for today and designed for tomorrow,” says Per Westling, CEO of Stena RoRo AB.

The first two C-Flexer RoRo vessels are scheduled for delivery in March and June 2029 respectively. The optional vessels will be delivered at three-month intervals thereafter.

Partnership with China Merchants Industry (CMI) Weihai Shipyard

The vessels will be built at China Merchants Industry (CMI) Weihai Shipyard. A decade long partnership between Stena RoRo and China Merchants Industry has so far resulted in 17 vessels ordered at the shipyard. The cooperation began in 2016 with an order for 4 E-Flexer RoPax vessels and has since grown to a total of 15 vessels, 12 of which have already been delivered. In addition 2 RoRo vessels of the Stena NewMax concept have been delivered.

“The cooperation between CMI Weihai and Stena RoRo has been crucial to the success of the RoPax and RoRo concepts delivered so far,” says Per Westling. “It has enabled us to supply both Stena Line, as well as external customers, with tailor-made vessels delivered on time and with very high quality.”

C-Flexer technical features

The new C-Flexer design offers a high degree of flexibility, enabling Stena RoRo to provide customers with vessels tailored to their specific operational needs. A highly developed hullform, multi-fuel engines and a scalable battery-hybrid system ensures that the vessels are future-proofed and can be progressively ‘greened’ in line with both technological advances and regulatory developments.

“In the future the C-Flexer will be able to operate entirely on batteries. Until then, the installed diesel-battery hybrid system will provide the necessary flexibility and redundancy for many years to come,” concludes Per Westling.

Stena C-Flexer, basic specifications:
Length: 200 m
Beam: 31 m
Dwt: about 15.000 ton
Draft: 7,5 m
Speed: 21 knots
Lm: 3-deck version: 3.400 lane meters
Lm: 4-deck version: 4.750 lane meters

Since 2013, we have had responsibility for the design and completion of the world´s largest civilian hospital vessel, owned and operated by Mercy Ships, the Global Mercy. The ship was delivered in 2021.
