Will ‘IoT’ based solutions succeed in removing the ‘ENERGY GUZZLER’ tag from HVAC?

According to a recent International Energy Agency (IEA) study titled "Empowering Cities for Net Zero Energy Future," HVAC Systems consume 30%-60% of the total electrical energy consumed by most Commercial and Industrial Buildings. This includes retail, office, hotel, healthcare, and educational buildings. Reducing ‘Energy Consumption' to get close to Net Zero Goals will require HVAC systems to be operated in a ‘Smart' manner. IoT-based systems have the potential to reduce not only carbon emissions but also ‘COSTS' associated with energy consumption. Read this PDF to learn what is stopping HVAC from realizing its real potential and how IoT can be used to overcome these challenges and improve its performance.
