The Future of Heating Controls is AI

With the US currently leading the world in AI, and spending trillions of dollars through private investment, it was just a matter of time before AI found its way into the Building and Energy Management systems responsible for HVAC control. That’s also because In the Internet of Things (IOT), the things are getting much smarter. Today’s sensors are smaller, more accurate, measure more things, and consume less power than your grandma’s heating sensors. They’re also wireless, allowing placement in buildings where running complex wiring was a non-starter. Couple sophisticated sensor data with smart control algorithms that can coordinate the actions of dozens of boilers and valves across multiple boiler rooms, buildings and campus’ and you have a system that is crying out for the kind of intelligence only AI technology can bring. The Justification for AI in Heating Controls As far as HVAC is concerned, building owners know it is all about the money. How can they red...
