Multiple components work together to make an HVAC system run smoothly and efficiently. One of the newer components in today’s systems is data, whether it is information about historic performance trends or the weather outside. A variety of sensors work together to provide data that can be crunched by various algorithms to provide useful information to system installers and end-users, and to help systems run better and longer.
There is a long list of benefits that data analytics can provide for an HVAC system. Analyzing data can help to balance competing priorities such as using less energy while ensuring the comfort of occupants. It can permit proactive monitoring of performance and energy efficiency. It enables preventative maintenance and early detection of system problems before more damage can take place. Also, data analytics promotes understanding and maximises system performance based on historic trends.
