About The Customer
The customer in this case study includes HVAC manufacturers and property managers who are looking to create cloud-connected versions of their HVAC systems. These stakeholders are interested in leveraging IoT technology to improve energy efficiency, occupant comfort, and overall system management. HVAC manufacturers aim to bring secure, reliable connected products to market quickly and cost-effectively, while property managers seek to optimize building energy usage and enhance occupant comfort through better data insights and system control. The customer base spans various industries, including commercial buildings, construction, and infrastructure, where HVAC systems play a critical role in energy consumption and occupant comfort.
The Challenge
When talking about connected buildings, HVAC is a must-have topic for any discussion. Accounting for about half of a commercial building’s energy usage, and as a leading contributor of occupant comfort, HVAC represents not only a massive opportunity for cost savings, but also the creation of a comfortable and efficient environment. However, the challenge for many property managers looking to cash in on this opportunity comes in architecting a cost-effective solution, both in regards to implementation and ongoing maintenance, that supports open communication across all systems and devices, provides insights into product usage, and more importantly, the flexibility and control to implement changes based on this data.
The Solution
Ayla enables HVAC manufacturers to create cloud-connected versions of their products that are part of the Internet of Things (IoT). Ayla’s IoT Platform provides comprehensive device, cloud, and mobile app connectivity. It allows HVAC manufacturers to bring secure, reliable connected products to market quickly, easily, and cost-effectively. HVAC stands to benefit, like many use cases, from Ayla’s ability to support basic and advanced rules, role-based access control, cloud-to-cloud integrations, and a flexible architecture that is connectivity agnostic. HVAC manufacturers and dealers can leverage role-based access control to provide a personalized user experience, gain insights into product usage data that is typically siloed, develop an offering that is device and system agnostic, offer a cost-effective product that leverages proven, industry-standard technology, and develop a flexible system that can be configured to support many different channels.
Operational Impact
  • Ayla’s Agile IoT Platform overcomes the challenges faced by HVAC manufacturers and property managers, delivering a cost-effective solution that supports the integration of various systems and leverages industry-standard communication protocols to provide a platform that is connectivity agnostic.
  • By virtualizing these devices in the Ayla Cloud, users can more efficiently monitor and control their systems, leveraging the full power of their data.
  • HVAC manufacturers and dealers can leverage role-based access control to provide a personalized experience for property managers and maintenance staff, gain better insights into product usage which is typically siloed in traditional building automation systems (BAS), develop an offering that is device and system agnostic, offer a cost-effective product that leverages proven, industry-standard technology, and develop a flexible system that can be configured to support the requirements of many different channels.
  • Property managers of the connected HVAC products using Ayla IoT technology can more accurately identify hot and cold spots in a building to optimize usage, enable cloud-to-cloud integrations to leverage the expertise of 3rd party service providers to increase utility, store and analyze actual usage data to determine areas of potential optimization, integrate with other sensor technologies and systems to better manage usage, remotely monitor and control multiple systems across many different locations from a central point, and proactively identify and resolve potential maintenance issues before they happen through the use of enriched data.
