It is reported that heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems account for 38 % of buildings energy consumption, which plays a major role in climate change and contributes to one third of global energy consumption and one quarter of CO 2 emissions from the residential sector.

In the backdrop of rising environmental temperatures, there is a natural rise in demand for colling and by extension the energy consumption footprint for the same.

“Increasing average global temperatures due to climate change, economic growth and urbanization are widely expected to lead to a greater demand for cooling. Any efforts to limit access to cooling would likely create major productivity losses as well as adverse impacts on the provision of quality health care, nutritious food, and education, thereby undermining the efforts and opportunities for dozens of countries to realize the UN Sustainable Development Goals, such as ending poverty, hunger, and disease” UNEP 2018.

Energy efficiency in HVAC is therefore a very important intervention in the energy transition journey.

Coolnomix is a second generation standalone, non-invasive intelligent thermostat with dual temperature sensors. It’s a perfect control retrofit for vapour-compression air conditioners (AC) and refrigeration systems that modulate compressor runtime to save energy while maintaining temperature set points.
