Intesis, the HMS Networks brand specialized in building automation, has reached a new global milestone: 2 million HVAC units connected to enhance control and boost energy savings. This achievement marks a major step forward in the brand’s long‑term mission to help reduce energy waste in buildings through smarter, data‑driven HVAC management.
HVAC systems are typically the most energy‑intensive assets in commercial and residential buildings. By enabling full control, optimized operation, and real‑time monitoring, Intesis gateways play a decisive role in reducing unnecessary HVAC energy consumption by enabling communication between HVAC system and the Building Management System.
With 2 million connected units across retail chains, hotels, hospitals, offices, data centers, and residential buildings, Intesis technology now contributes to:
Based on industry benchmarks and documented customer projects showing around 30% average HVAC energy savings, the global impact now reaches several terawatt‑hours of electricity saved annually — preventing hundreds of thousands of tons of CO₂ emissions every year.
The exponential growth since 2021 when we reach the 1M AC units connected is powered by the evolution of the building needs and the Intesis HVAC portfolio, featuring the Intesis 700 Series Air:
By bridging proprietary HVAC languages with standard building automation protocols, Intesis ensures seamless integration, a fundamental requirement for efficient, decarbonized, smart buildings.
Buildings account for a large share of global energy usage, and HVAC is often responsible for the highest energy load. Integrating and controlling these systems from the BMS through Intesis gateways brings measurable benefits:
The aggregated effect is equivalent to the annual electricity use of tens of thousands of homes, or the CO₂ absorption of millions of trees.
As heat pump adoption accelerates globally and regulations push for higher building efficiency, HVAC control is becoming one of the most effective levers for immediate energy savings.
Reaching 2 million connected HVAC units is more than a commercial achievement. It demonstrates how digital connectivity and intelligent control can materially reduce energy consumption at scale. Sustainability is embedded in our strategy, and building automation is one of the most tangible ways we contribute to global climate targets.
