Thanks to the wonders of modern technology, companies have proven their flexibility in nearly all aspects of business throughout the past year. We’ve fine-tuned the art of remote communications, and in many ways are more connected to colleagues and clients than ever before.
But did you know that smart HVAC technology can help keep you connected to your building, too?
According to B2B research firm MarketsandMarkets, the smart building market has grown exponentially in recent years and is projected to reach $105.8 billion globally by 2024. That means more and more companies are beginning to realize the benefits of intelligent building solutions, like:

• More control. Today’s systems can be designed to allow for full integration of all commercial building systems, including HVAC controls, lighting, fire alarms, occupancy monitoring and more. Building managers can quickly and easily streamline controls for their entire facility by using one comprehensive dashboard.
• Energy savings. Smart HVAC technology can allow facility managers to customize unit controls— like setting different temperatures for different building zones, or during the nights and weekends when occupancy is lower — which can translate to significant energy savings over time.
• Avoiding costly breakdowns. HVAC systems equipped with smart technology are always gathering real-time data, “talking” to other systems and creating usage and performance reports. These analytics can help predict when maintenance is needed before a costly issue arises, making repairs faster with less down time.

This year, take your HVAC game up a notch and find the smart trends and technology that will help you meet your strategic goals now and in the future.
