Encycle Technologies, Inc., a company that deploys autonomous intelligence and analytics to improve commercial HVAC management, has been awarded patent for its advanced methodologies of detecting and diagnosing HVAC fault conditions.
HVAC systems are responsible for approximately 40% of total building energy consumption and about 15% of global energy use. Despite their critical role, these systems often operate inefficiently due to undetected faults, leading to increased energy costs, disruptive equipment failures, reduced comfort levels, and decreased system efficiency, all of which drive negative impacts to sustainability goals.
Traditional fault detection relies almost entirely on reactive diagnostics driven by hot calls and an expensive call center, which often lacks any ability to refer back to optimal performance data over time. Encycle’s patented Swarm IQ solution utilizes key metrics and established benchmarks of current and historical energy consumption patterns for the identification of inefficiencies and malfunctions in HVAC equipment with unprecedented reliability.
Commenting on the development, Ana-Paula Issa, CEO of Encycle, said, Our advanced fault detection empowers building operators to achieve significant energy savings and enhance building performance while mitigating operational costs and increasing system reliability. Our ability to identify the hot call, before the hot call comes in, is unmatched.
