Gamal of Delta Controls Inc.

Technological Advancements in Smart HVAC Control span four major areas, Energy Saving Systems, Smart HVAC Systems, Mobile Device Control and Advanced Analytics. New smart devices are being used to analyze environmental conditions for occupancy and high precision temperature control. Fast-acting control systems provide the exact heating and cooling necessary resulting in significant energy savings and increased occupant comfort. Most homes are now equipped with at least one smart device, HVAC systems and thermostats will soon be connected to a central hub made from one of these devices. It is important that HVAC devices are designed to be interoperable with these systems, this can be achieved by using standard hardware interfaces as well as industry accepted IoT protocols. Potential applications that can emerge from a device equipped with these interfaces will be explored. Smart IoT devices synchronize data with cloud services allowing users to receive reports and analysis on how their system is performing and how it can be improved.  This also allows HVAC providers to track consumer engagements, purchases and remotely detect potential faults or failures. Additionally, aggregate data can be analyzed and published to allow communities to track and achieve green initiatives.
