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.

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.
