4 advantages of monitoring, visualising and controlling air-conditioning systems

Efficient management of air conditioning and climate control installations in commercial environments, such as supermarkets and warehouses, is essential to reduce operating costs and comply with energy efficiency. 


Effective management of air installations, such as heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, plays a key role in a variety of environments, whether in homes, offices or industry. This management encompasses a number of essential aspects that impact on:

  • Quality of life
  • Environmental sustainability
  • Reducing operating costs

In this article, we will explore the advantages of monitoring, visualising and controlling these air installations, either locally or remotely, using modern technological solutions:

1.Energy efficiency

Air facility management is key in reducing carbon footprint and driving more sustainable practices. Constant monitoring of AC systems allows you to identify usage patterns, leading to more accurate adjustments and, ultimately, significant energy savings. 


With airCloud Pro, you can track detailed energy usage history over a specific period or on individual pieces of equipment. 


With the ability to monitor systems remotely, real-time adjustments can be made to optimise performance and minimise energy waste, such as setting consumption plans, setting alerts for peak usage and making decisions based on solid data.

2.Cost reduction 

Proper maintenance and effective monitoring of air conditioning systems can result in lower repair costs and reduced downtime. Avoiding major failures and costly repairs is essential for the financial management of any organisation.


With airCloud Pro, you have the ability to enter peak energy prices, allowing you to get accurate consumption estimates. In addition, you can set a monthly budget and receive alerts when your estimated consumption approaches the pre-determined limit, helping you to keep your energy costs under control.

 

3.Troubleshooting


Monitoring air conditioning systems helps anticipate failures and allows you to schedule repairs at the right time, minimising the impact on building performance and preventing costly damage.


With airCloud Pro you will have a clear history of:

  • Error codes
  • Concise problem description
  • Filter cleaning reminder
  • Smartphone alerts for major faults

 

4.Ensured comfort

In commercial and industrial environments, employee comfort is essential to maintain productivity and well-being.


airCloud Pro ensures improved and personalised comfort according to your needs and preferences. With airCloud Pro, managing your business has never been easier, especially from the comfort of your office or home.
