Manufacturers understand the importance of making smart products, enabling the end-user to control usage, resulting in cost savings and enhanced comfort. Compared to older, inefficient units, there is the potential for cost savings, attracting interest from both domestic and commercial users. The Internet of Things (IOT) has the potential to change the business model of the HVAC sector. The ability to link all units together, allowing them to talk and learn the user’s habits to create a total smart building management solution is an attractive prospect. This section of the market is still in its infancy and is creating exciting opportunities. Enjoy the magazine ON THE COVER White air conditioning unit on a metal industrial roof.
