Smart heating and air conditioning technology is constantly evolving and consistently on the rise, which means it’s not going anywhere and it’s here to shape the future of the industry. Your customers are more and more interested in the latest and greatest technologies in HVAC. They want advanced solutions that will ensure optimal efficiency and maximal performance without any compromises on either.
That’s the reason why you also have to be in step with the times and be familiar with not only what the existing modern solutions are, but also keep an eye open toward the future of HVAC. This way, you’re able to stay on top of the developments, capable of offering your clients only the cutting-edge systems they’re looking for. However, what’s the future going to bring? What are the most important technologies that will shape the future of HVAC? Let’s see!
What Innovations Are Important For The Future Of Hvac?
The entirety of the heating and air conditioning industry is undergoing an extensive technological revolution in an attempt to keep up with all the demands of builders, buyers, and homeowners.
Modern solutions are designed to enhance system efficiency, boost performance, improve the satisfaction of your clients, and reduce operating costs. Some of the following technologies are ready for implementation, while others are still in their infancy. However, they’re still important to keep an eye on. Here are the most modern existing and emerging HVAC solutions:
AC Activated By Movement
There’s a new design for air conditioning that uses specialized sensors located within ceiling-hung aluminum rods. Movement activates sensors and the AC only starts when it detects the presence of people within a property. This way, an air conditioning system enhances comfort and convenience while decreasing energy consumption and system operation hours.
Thermally-Driven AC
This is a low-cost alternative solution to traditional air conditioning systems widespread in residential and commercial properties across the USA. This system makes good use of solar energy supplemented with natural gas for effective and efficient operations. Its dual chillers offer additional cooling at enhanced efficiency, all the while eliminating electricity use.
On-Demand Recirculation Of Hot Water
Waiting for water to heat up can waste as much as 12,000 gallons every year in a typical American household. That’s why recirculating hot water is such an important invention. These systems use water that would otherwise go wasted and return it into the system for reuse. This way, there’s almost no waste from the system, which significantly reduces utility costs.
Ice-Powered AC
This type of air conditioning first freezes water during the night using a minuscule amount of energy in the process. Then, during the day it uses that ice to provide cooling for your customer’s property. The current design is sufficient for six hours of cooling. If necessary, a traditional air conditioning system can take over after that, which results in a lot less energy consumption without compromising the comfort of the property.
Ventilation Enhanced With Sensors
This system uses a range of different sensors to monitor varied indoor factors within a property, including indoor air pressure and quality, temperature, and other factors. From there, the system can modify these parameters from a smartphone app, allowing your customers an unparalleled amount of control over their property conditions.
Geothermal Energy
Geothermal technology is one of the HVAC advancements your customers can benefit from today. Such systems use the energy directly from the earth to provide the necessary heating and cooling to a property. It is a sizable initial investment, but one that promises great savings during the years to come.
Automated Homes
Everything in your clients’ lives is becoming smarter and smarter, and their homes are no exception. One of the biggest HVAC advancements is certainly going to be about automated homes where entire HVAC systems can operate independently by monitoring various indoor conditions and parameters. However, these technologies still have a way to go.
