Heatwaves have put an unprecedented strain on HVAC systems, leading to skyrocketing energy bills and increased system failures.
BubblyNet founder & chief vision officer, Fabio Zaniboni, said extreme heat doesn't just increase energy bills, it jeopardises health, accelerates equipment wear, and amplifies carbon emissions.
"Our solutions ensure HVAC systems work smarter, not harder, while contributing to a more sustainable future,” he said.
The summer of 2025 is breaking records across the United States, with regions experiencing scorching temperatures upwards of 110°F.
As a result many HVAC systems are overworking, accelerating wear and tear, resulting in unexpected maintenance costs and shorter system lifespans.
Urban areas are hit hardest due to the heat island effect, with intense nighttime temperatures adding stress to cooling infrastructures.
Beyond the mechanical strains, indoor air quality has become a pressing concern. High outdoor temperatures restrict fresh air intake in most traditional ventilation systems, increasing CO₂ levels indoors.
Smart ventilation systems are emerging as a vital solution, dynamically adapting to changing conditions to maintain occupant health. Unlike fixed systems, they actively monitor and enhance indoor air quality (IAQ), offering a proactive approach to creating safer indoor environments.
"Indoor air quality isn't just an operational metric; it's a critical health priority during extreme summer conditions," Zaniboni said. "Our smart ventilation systems go beyond simply circulating air. They actively improve IAQ, making buildings safer and healthier for everyone."
BubblyNet's AI HVAC solutions offer real-time climate control that is reliable, green, and cost-effective. Designed to integrate seamlessly into existing systems, BubblyNet's technology optimizes energy usage while enhancing occupant comfort. Key benefits include:
- Occupancy-based controls and remote scheduling: Dynamically adjust cooling based on real-world building usage, cutting unnecessary energy consumption.
- Smart locks integration: Automatically trigger temperature changes as guests or employees arrive and leave, ideal for hospitality and hybrid workplace needs.
- Wireless sensors for low-impact retrofits: Fine-tune cooling and ventilation without the need for invasive infrastructure overhauls.
- Daylight sensors and motorized shades: Reduce solar heat gain naturally and stay cooler for longer.
- AI-driven recommendations: Analyze building thermal patterns and suggest deeper set-back temperatures or unoccupied zone optimizations to achieve even greater efficiency.
Unlike traditional cooling infrastructure upgrades, BubblyNet's IoT solutions require no complex rewiring, saving both time and costs for businesses.
By utilizing edge-powered AI, the system processes data locally, removing dependencies on cloud-based infrastructures. This ensures faster adjustments, improved cybersecurity, and seamless functionality during periods of high demand.
"Ultimately, IoT offers an efficient, scalable, and forward-thinking approach to reducing energy use and emissions," Zaniboni said. "It delivers real-time optimization and integrates across systems—all while future-proofing your building through ongoing improvements."
