What is IoT and how does it work?
IoT is changing HVAC for the Better
Using information from a network of building sensors tracking data like temperature, humidity, air speed, and air quality, HALO HVAC IoT can adjust how your HVAC systems function to maximize comfort while minimizing energy consumption.
HALO HVAC IoT is far more advanced than a simple thermostat. We deliver data to our cloud (The HALO) for processing, enabling energy savings and optimal occupant comfort through automation, predictive maintenance, digital ticketing workflows, and remote asset monitoring.
With IoT intervention in your HVAC systems, you can typically save 30-60% on energy costs while increasing occupant comfort.
By providing access to real-time data, IoT sensors installed on HVAC equipment can improve energy efficiency by monitoring usage trends and factoring in weather predictions.
The result is better-regulated indoor climate control that minimizes power consumption.
IoT’s intervention in the low side of the HVAC system enables modulation of variable frequency drives (VFD) & chilled water valves, and scheduling & duty cycling of the AHUs based on temperature sensors, air quality sensors, humidity, pressure, and other factors. IoT-enabled HVAC automation systems allow you to deliver maximum occupant comfort with optimal energy consumption, leading to more sustainable use of resources.
Why should IoT be used in HVAC?
Remote IoT monitoring for HVAC systems offers several compelling advantages:
Real-time insights: Remote monitoring provides real-time data on HVAC system performance, allowing you to promptly identify any issues or anomalies before they turn into costly problems. This can include HVAC energy consumption.
Proactive maintenance: With continuous monitoring, potential problems can be detected early, enabling you to schedule preventive maintenance before major breakdowns occur, reducing downtime and costly repairs.
Energy efficiency: Remote monitoring allows you to track energy consumption patterns, identify inefficiencies, and implement adjustments to optimize energy usage, resulting in cost savings and a more environmentally friendly operation.
Remote control: You can remotely adjust HVAC settings and temperature based on occupancy patterns, weather conditions, or user preferences, ensuring occupants’ comfort and convenience.
Predictive analytics: HALO HVAC IoT monitoring enables data analysis to predict equipment failures or performance degradation, allowing you to take proactive measures to avoid disruptions and extend the lifespan of HVAC components.
Cost-effectiveness: By detecting issues early and optimizing energy consumption, IoT monitoring can lead to reduced maintenance costs and lower utility bills over time.
Improved safety and compliance: Monitoring sensors can detect unsafe conditions or deviations from regulatory standards, ensuring a safer environment and compliances.
Scalability and centralization: For larger buildings or multi-site facilities, remote IoT monitoring centralizes HVAC management, simplifying maintenance tasks and streamlining operations.
Overall, remote IoT monitoring empowers facility managers to make data-driven decisions, optimize HVAC system performance, enhance energy efficiency, and increase the overall reliability and lifespan of the equipment.

Applications of IoT in HVAC
Automation of HVAC operations
HALO HVAC IoT transforms HVAC operations by harnessing IoT technology. It offers seamless automation and control of HVAC systems without limitations on scalability.
In a HALO HVAC IoT system, sensors gather diverse data points including airflow, ambient temperatures, humidity, air quality, and energy usage, as well as parameters like chiller return and leaving water temperatures. This data is securely transmitted to the HALO cloud through a designated gateway.
The HALO gateway facilitates both automated and manual control of the HVAC system. Processed data is then relayed back to connected devices such as VFDs, Valve cards, and Relays integrated within the existing HVAC infrastructure.
These devices receive instructions and modulate various HVAC components—such as chilled water valves, secondary pumps, and condenser pumps—accordingly. Despite the complexity involved, this entire process unfolds within seconds, entirely eliminating the need for manual intervention.
Revolutionize your HVAC system with our state-of-the-art HVAC IoT sensors. Our expert team not only supplies but also installs our advanced weatherproof sensors, ensuring precision in HVAC monitoring air quality, temperature, velocity, humidity, energy and more.
