Description

Thalo Labs’ HVAC Copilot platform provides real-time visibility into HVAC performance and energy use, helping building operators reduce utility costs and optimize existing systems without costly upgrades. By continuously monitoring equipment, it identifies inefficiencies and improper operation while proactively detecting issues—such as refrigerant loss, methane leaks, and undercharged systems — before they require on-site intervention. This enables teams to anticipate failures, prevent leaks, and improve overall system performance while lowering energy use and emissions.

Use Cases

  • Reduce building energy/utility costs,

  • Have better visibility into real-time electricity use,

  • Optimize existing HVAC to reduce energy use and costs,

  • Improve/upgrade my HVAC system,

  • Anticipate issues to my equipment (e.g. HVAC) before they happen,

  • Avoid refrigerant leaks in a building/portfolio

Key Differentiators

  • Minimally-invasive, quick installation - The HVAC Copilot system is designed for non-invasive, quick installation and operates without batteries or external power by drawing power from the asset itself. With built-in cellular connectivity, it does not require Wi-Fi or building IT integration.
  • Accessible, cost-conscious - The system's hardware-enabled analytics support advanced diagnostics while remaining accessible and cost-conscious for building owners.
  • Designed to integrate - The system is designed to integrate with a wide variety of HVAC equipment, making it suitable for diverse applications across residential, commercial, and industrial settings.
  • Direct performance measurements - Thalo Labs’ approach differs from software-only platforms by directly measuring HVAC performance through on-equipment sensing of exhaust gases and refrigerant conditions, enabling direct emissions measurement rather than modeled estimates.

Cost Savings

Thalo Labs estimates energy cost savings of 10-15% due to operational improvements.

Additional cost savings may be realized from reduced emergency calls and expensive truck rolls due to preventative maintenance and early equipment problem diagnostics.
