Carrier will be introducing a series of smart solutions that would enhance system controls and visibility of commercial HVAC systems, said Chris Opie, Director, North America Commercial Marketing, Carrier.

Speaking on the development, he said: “This is an exciting time for Carrier and the HVAC industry, as IoT enables innovative and intuitive tools, such as Carrier Smart Services, which can improve the customer experience and keep buildings efficient. We anticipate technologies to continue to evolve and we will continue collaborating with our customers to ensure we deliver solutions that best serve their needs.”

Further elaborating on the features of the solutions, Opi said that customers with the solution would now be able to have a better visibility of their HVAC system performance and energy usage through a new equipment dashboard and mobile app, available for iOS and Android devices. They will also be able to manage the service and maintenance activity of their HVAC systems from an online portal.

Through this solution, he said, customers could remotely monitor the health of their chillers in real-time and gain an insight on their key operating parameters, recent energy consumption trends, as well as weather forecasts. The app would also provide alerts when the equipment is malfunctioning.
