How important is energy efficiency and sustainability in commercial buildings in the current scenario?
COVID-19 and other climate-related phenomena have had a significant impact on the world. In view of rapidly depleting energy resources, energy shortages, and rising environmental pollution, the significance of energy-efficient buildings has taken on new urgency. A substantial quantity of energy is consumed in modern buildings to keep the building environment comfortable. Buildings play an important role in our transition to a lower-carbon future. They account for around 40% of global energy consumption and one-third of global greenhouse gas emissions. A building that is energy efficient will have cheaper energy, water, and maintenance expenditures.
Buildings are opting for the cleaner source of energy coming from renewable energy sources. At the same time, they are also trying to reduce the energy intensity of their operations that is reducing consumption of per capita energy usage. Most of the global organisations have taken Net Zero emission targets to reduce carbon emission across their facilities and supply chain and buildings hold a large share of their operations, making it important to focus on sustainable building operations. Well-designed mechanical systems and building components work together to maintain appropriate indoor temperatures. Continuous ventilation and fresh air throughout the building can result in improved occupant well-being and, as a result, a more productive workforce. 75F's IoT-powered solution saves up to 50% on energy, improves occupant experience, boosts productivity, and reduces installation time by 80%.
HVAC systems play a vital role in the air quality management in commercial buildings. What are the intelligent control technologies from 75F for HVAC systems?
The 75F Epidemic ModeTM is a new set of operations designed to keep 75F customers healthy and safe indoors. The Smart Purge application starts three hours before projected occupancy and runs for two hours, allowing for up to one hour of preconditioning before building occupants arrive for maximum comfort. Furthermore, 75F customers can use Facilisight, 75F's building intelligence suite of online and mobile apps, to remotely turn Epidemic Mode on or off and customise its operation.
We recently launched the HyperStat that detects temperature, humidity, CO2, occupancy, light, sound, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and optional particulate matter, making it a cost-effective one-stop solution for WELL Building Standard support.
Our product line also includes the Smart Node, which is designed to control nearly any type and brand of equipment with virtually endless applications and no programming necessary.
What are the other IoT-based digital solutions from the company in air quality management for indoor and outdoor air?
Our comprehensive portfolio of smart sensors gives building owners the power of IoT-connected devices for optimal efficiency and comfort in vital areas. It continuously monitors and provides data and visibility throughout the building and equipment to improve efficiency, comfort, productivity, and well-being. The Occupant app allows you to adjust the lighting and temperature inside the office via an app even if you are not physically present.
How do you see India as an evolving and promising market for your solutions?
The HVAC systems market in India will expand by US$ 2.26 billion between 2020 and 2024, at a CAGR of about 10%, according to a report by Technavio. The government of India is focusing on a microeconomic level all-inclusive energy transformation and climate action to complement the macroeconomic level growth goal. Furthermore, increased industrialisation, rising living standards, and surging purchasing power are some of the primary factors projected to drive demand for HVAC systems in India. India is one of the countries dealing with poor air quality and other health issues.
What are your expansion plans in India for your products and solutions?
We plan to expand our solutions across multiple verticals - Hospitality, Co-working as well as Retail in the next 3-6 months. We are also broadening our distribution networks and extending our presence in more Indian cities over the next few years, as well as opening additional offices in India, South Asia, and the APAC.
