Built on Innovation and Integrity

Founded in 2016, steamOvap® is a Canadian company specializing in advanced humidification systems engineered for performance, energy efficiency, and sustainability.

Discover our EcoEnerSmart

At SteamOvap, we’re committed to sustainability and efficiency. Our patented EcoEnerSmart™ technology, available across our IER Electric and ISE Steam Exchange humidifiers, optimizes water and energy usage in real-time.

Our Vision

Maintaining optimal indoor humidity levels typically between 30% and 50% is essential for health and home maintenance. Proper humidification can alleviate dryness, improve indoor air quality, and make temperatures feel warmer, potentially lowering energy bills.

Indoor Air, Humidity & Health

Creating Environments That Care for People

At steamOvap®, we believe that humidity is more than a comfort factor — it’s essential to human health. Scientific studies and industry leaders such as ASHRAE and AHRI confirm that maintaining relative humidity (RH) between 40% and 60% significantly improves indoor environments.

Why 40–60% RH Matters

RH matters

Keeping indoor relative humidity between 40–60% reduces viruses and allergens, supports breathing and hydration, eases asthma and allergies, and protects sensitive materials and equipment.

Backed by Science

RH matters

Research such as the landmark Sterling Chart (first published in 1986) demonstrates that RH in the 40–60% range reduces health risks and ensures a safer, more comfortable indoor climate.

Our Commitment

RH matters

By integrating this knowledge into every product we design, we create indoor spaces that are healthier, safer, and more sustainable whether in hospitals, laboratories, offices, or homes.
