Axiom Cloud launched its HVAC Optimization module, which autonomously identifies and resolves HVAC inefficiencies across rooftop unit fleets and implements fixes directly through existing building management systems and controllers without the need for manual intervention.
"The waste hiding in commercial HVAC systems is not a technical problem, it is an operational problem. Nobody is watching, so unit failures or egregious energy issues can silently persist for months or years without anyone noticing. Over the past year, we have demonstrated significant operational improvements and cost savings for our existing customers," says Amrit Robbins, CEO and co-founder of Axiom Cloud. "The platform that is already optimizing refrigeration across their enterprise covers this too - the same approach that works for refrigeration now works for HVAC."
Key takeaways:
· HVAC directly impacts occupant comfort, which can positively (or negatively) affect business metrics such as customer traffic, employee productivity, and revenue.
· For example, rooftop units commonly run at full capacity during off-hours when a building is empty, conditioning and replacing air as if the building was fully occupied. In buildings that rely on multiple rooftop units, it is not uncommon for adjacent units to work against each other, one heating and one cooling at the same time, consuming double the energy without changing the space temperature. Axiom's HVAC Optimization module identifies these conditions across a customer's full portfolio, identifies units that are not working as expected, quantifies the financial impact of each problem, and resolves those that can be addressed remotely without the need for a technician to go on the roof.
· For existing Axiom customers, the expansion means the platform already embedded in their facilities now covers HVAC with no new integration, no new vendor relationship, and no new operational burden.
· The module has been in active beta across 17 facilities and 40 rooftop units, backed by a platform that has logged over 3,400 system years of HVAC operating data across all Axiom sites and customers before general availability.
