Briefing 2025
Our Project Vision
We want to develop with you together an intelligent HVAC automation system combining IoT sensors, AI algorithms, and heat recovery technologies to optimize the energy efficiency of buildings. Our target: 30-40% carbon footprint reduction.
Key Technologies and Components
Sensing and Monitoring
Multi-sensor nodes: Temperature, humidity, CO₂, PM2.5, airflow monitoring
Thermal cameras: Detection of thermal bridges and energy leaks
Smart flow sensors: Heat recovery efficiency monitoring
Automation and Control
AI-driven HVAC control: Predictive control based on occupancy, weather, and energy tariffs
Adaptive algorithms: Machine learning for real-time operation optimization
Zone control: Individual climate control according to specific space requirements
Waste Heat Utilization
Heat Recovery Systems
Heat recovery units: Capturing heat from exhaust air with 85-90% efficiency
Heat pumps: Utilizing low-grade heat from technologies, servers, lighting
Thermal energy storage: Accumulating excess heat for later use
Environmental Benefits
Energy consumption reduction of 25-35% through HVAC system optimization, which accounts for 40% of total building consumption.
CO₂ emissions reduction by utilizing waste heat instead of fossil fuels.
Indoor environment quality improvement through intelligent air quality and humidity control, contributing to healthier environments and higher productivity.
Next Steps
We’ll share a detailed overview of our challenge at the #IMM2025/26 kick-off event in Bratislava on December 4, 2025, and we’re excited to answer your early questions and explore solution ideas together afterward.
During the five-month Industry Meets Makers program, we’ll shape our co-creation approach with you – individually and in line with your interests and our possibilities.
