Why we built this

We spent our careers in commercial buildings: installing, commissioning, balancing. We kept seeing the same thing. Equipment running below where it should. A rooftop unit running when the store is closed. Waste that never set off an alarm, sitting in operating data nobody was looking at. We built PulsAIO to look.

The people

Bill and Ron are co-owners of PulsAIO.

CO-FOUNDER

Bill Hickner

Runs Unity Controls (building automation) and UTBSC (test and balance, commissioning and controls consulting).

CO-FOUNDER

Ron Snider

Four decades of commercial HVAC: test and balance, startup, field service and manufacturer training.

Why the name

aiRon is named for Ron. aiRon is built on the patterns he has seen, and its library is reviewed by him.

What we are, and are not

We are a monitoring platform, with an AI that helps explain what it sees. We are not an HVAC repair company: UTBSC does commissioning and certification, not repair. We are not a controls retrofit: PulsAIO works alongside whatever is already on the roof.
