Energy consumption of a building registers a major cost for any enterprise today. In energy, air conditioning or air balancing comes at highest cost. One of the most serious problems for commercial buildings today is Heating Ventilation and Air-conditioning (HVAC) – as it represents the largest single cost of operating a building.

Amidst factors like climate change, increasing air pollution and the changing demands of millennial workforce, innovative technologies comes as a boon for all. Internet of Things (IoT) as a technology spans across the economy for various purposes owing to its communication powers. Realizing the same and paying heed to the issue of air balancing, Indian techies Deepinder Singh (CEO) and Pankaj Chawla (CTO), founded 75F in 2012 in US. The startup creates solutions that harness the power of IoT (Internet of Things) and cloud computing to predict a building’s energy needs and manage them proactively, making buildings more energy-efficient, automated, smart and comfortable. The name 75F was inspired by a United Nations initiative in 2008 to make its conference rooms greener by raising summer thermostats from 70 to 75 degrees Fahrenheit.
