AI-Powered HVAC Intelligence

Your HVAC Systems Are Bleeding Money

The average commercial building wastes 30% of its energy on HVAC alone. PulsAIO's AI overlay stops the bleeding — layering intelligent diagnostics, predictive maintenance, and real-time optimization on top of your existing DX units, RTUs, and heat pumps. No rip-and-replace. Just results.

RTUs Monitored

Unity controller data over 2 years revealed massive energy overrun. One kitchen unit was operating at 0% efficiency — taking nearly 3 hours to achieve a 0.5°F temperature change.

  • HVAC consuming 25–55% of total building energy (vs. 30–40% benchmark)
  • Units running on static schedules regardless of actual occupancy
  • No visibility into individual unit performance or degradation
  • Emergency repairs driving costs — problems found only after failure

The Results

$8,750 Diagnostic Investment

refrigerant analyzer inspections + visual assessment of all 35 rooftop units across 10 sites

$64,908 Recovered (2-Year)

721,200 kWh of recoverable savings — achieved through targeted repairs, not equipment replacement

$162,270 Projected (5-Year)

Conservative projection with ongoing AI monitoring to prevent regression

Payback Under 3 Months

Portfolio-wide average. Top sites paid back in under 2 months. 650% ROI at 2 years, 1,750%+ at 5 years

From Data to Action —
One Seamless Loop
Most building intelligence platforms stop at monitoring. PulsAIO closes the loop — connecting real-time diagnostics directly to the controls that optimize your HVAC systems every second of every day.
1
Stream
Live sensor data flows continuously from every RTU, heat pump, and DX unit — temperatures, pressures, runtimes, amps, and efficiency metrics — 24/7/365.
2
Analyze
PulsAIO's AI engine processes the data stream in real time — detecting anomalies, tracking degradation trends, and identifying the root cause of performance issues before they become failures.
3
Optimize
Intelligent adjustments are sent back to the controls — setpoint tuning, schedule optimization, load balancing, and demand response — automatically and continuously.
4
Verify
Every adjustment is measured against the baseline. PulsAIO confirms that changes are delivering real savings — and adapts if conditions shift. The circle never stops.

Strategic Partnership

PulsAIO + Unity Controls:
Intelligence Meets Execution

PulsAIO provides the AI brain — the diagnostics, monitoring, and analytics that tell you exactly what's happening across your HVAC systems. But intelligence alone doesn't save energy. That's where our strategic partnership with Unity Controls completes the circle.

Unity Controls, based in the Houston area, provides the on-site control infrastructure that takes PulsAIO's AI recommendations and executes them in real time — directly at the unit level. Their controllers sit on every rooftop unit, reading live sensor data and making moment-by-moment adjustments to setpoints, schedules, economizer operation, and compressor staging.

Together, PulsAIO and Unity Controls deliver what neither can alone: a closed-loop system where data flows up to the cloud for analysis, and optimized commands flow back down to the equipment — continuously, automatically, and with measurable results verified at every step.

What This Means for You

🔄
One Vendor, Complete Solution

No juggling separate monitoring platforms, control contractors, and service providers. PulsAIO and Unity Controls operate as a unified team.

Instant Response

When PulsAIO detects an issue, the Unity controller adjusts immediately — not after a service call, not after a manual override, but right now.

📊
Verified Results

Every optimization is measured. You see the before-and-after in your dashboard. No guesswork — just data proving your savings are real.

🛡️
Proactive Protection

The system catches problems at the earliest stage — often weeks before a technician would notice. That means fewer emergency calls and longer equipment life.

⚠ Alert ActiveLGH150S4BH5Y · 12.5 Ton · R-410A
⚠ AI Diagnostic Summary
Probable Cause: Low Refrigerant Charge
Suction pressure 92 PSI is 27% below normal operating range (118–130 PSI for R-410A at 95°F ambient). Elevated superheat (19°F vs. 10–12°F target) and low subcooling (4°F vs. 8–12°F target) confirm undercharge condition. Delta-T of 14°F is below the 16–22°F expected range.

Recommended Action: Schedule refrigerant analyzer inspection. Check for leaks at service valves, coil joints, and flare fittings. Recover, evacuate, and recharge to manufacturer spec (26 lbs R-410A).
