IoT technology is causing a revolution in the HVAC industry. Sensors, gateways, wireless communication protocols, web-based dashboards, smart thermostats, intelligent vents, and other devices powered by the Internet of Things enable much smarter and energy-efficient HVAC systems. These systems can automatically adjust to changing environmental conditions and give building managers far more control over how their building is heated, ventilated, and cooled.

The connected building is becoming one of the fastest-growing technologies in the proptech industry. It continues to iterate and improve as some of the latest trends are significantly transforming the next generation of corporate and campus buildings

HVAC systems consume around 30-40% of energy in buildings. If these critical systems don’t function properly, it can lead to further energy wastage. That’s why conducting fault detection and diagnosis (FDD) of the building systems is necessary. It can optimize the performance of HVAC systems and other equipment reducing the overall energy consumption of a building by 5-10%.

The restaurant business is mainly known for offering lip-smacking food and a great dining experience. But, today’s modern restaurants also want to ensure better occupant comfort, ease of the process, cost-effective services, and most importantly, efficient energy management.

Maintaining guest comfort, food safety compliances, asset health, and electrical safety are paramount for any successful hotelier. Smart building automation solutions can help mitigate many of these challenges. By deploying the right building management solution that includes complete building visibility, analytics-driven insights and IoT integrations, a leading hotel owner is able to maximize their energy & operational efficiencies along with a seamless asset management. Let’s deep dive on the business case.

Building Management Systems (BMS) have been used to automate equipment in large buildings for almost 3 decades, but such systems are not suitable for small and medium sized buildings (of less than 100K sq. ft.).

Coworking space providers should invest in an IoT-based building automation solution for their portfolio of buildings to save energy and operational costs. ZenConnect is an IoT-based energy and asset management solution for Coworking space providers, which can help them optimize energy costs and manage building assets remotely.

ZenConnect helped the retailer in optimizing energy consumption, ensuring temperature compliance & asset health, and facilitating digital workflows. The IoT interventions resulted in a 13.8% reduction in electricity costs.

The Internet of Things (IoT) has a great impact on various businesses. It automates processes without creating a need for human interactions, the reason why its utility is slowly increasing in several industries. From retail stores to manufacturing plants, almost every sector is leveraging IoT technology!
