KOVA introduces KOVA Comfort Intelligent HVAC, that combines into building projects creating healthier and comfortable environments based on a variety of inputs, including users’ daily routines. KOVA Comfort leverages behavioral, environmental, and unit-specific occupancy inputs to learn, personalise, and optimise comfort and energy usage in the living environment. With a minimal footprint, sleek design, and elegant profile, the compact system is an advanced solution for multifamily, student housing, hospitality, and residential properties.
KOVA Comfort harnesses advanced machine learning in conjunction with an AI (artificial intelligence)-driven processor to enhance system performance over time, thereby improving energy productivity and ensuring comfort within any given space. While traditional HVAC systems are prone to faulty downtime and energy use, KOVA Comfort addresses these challenges by combining existing energy productivity capacities with AI and a variable-speed compressor and fan.
This minimises the energy required to meet heating or cooling loads. The onboard processor captures, analyses, and learns from many diverse inputs including ambient temperature, humidity, occupancy, and day-to-day usage patterns. Leveraging AI-driven data models, KOVA Comfort can predict the least amount of power required to optimise climate controls, resulting in more than 30% energy savings. Standard thermostat controls and Bluetooth mesh connectivity are available between units to optimise comfort across living spaces.
“AI is taking the world by storm at the moment. With KOVA Comfort, we will demonstrate how AI and machine learning can be leveraged alongside top-notch HVAC engineering in ways that can positively impact people and the planet. In a market oversaturated by ‘smart’ devices, KOVA Comfort is a unique approach to climate control, one that paves the way for more energy-efficient, cost-effective, and space-saving solutions across the board.” says KOVA’s head of HVAC Brent Sturgell.
While increasing energy productivity through integrated AI, KOVA Comfort reduces capital and operating costs. With prices rising in the real estate market, every square inch of any space holds value. For this purpose, KOVA Comfort is designed for installation between standard vertical stud walls, eliminating the loss of valuable unit square footage inherent in traditional HVAC systems.
The slim form factor, along with a wall-combined sleeve and quick-connect mechanism, ensures fine installation, thereby reducing labour and material costs. No ducting or soffits, nor intrusion on interior footprint are required, while raised louvers deliver airflow at an optimal height. Additionally, the clean, modern aesthetic of KOVA Comfort allows for pairing with large glazing units.
“We are proud to introduce a new generation of HVAC to the industry. KOVA Comfort embraces the future in more ways than one. The system applies cutting-edge technology to help address real-world challenges. Our goal is to help our customers address the ever-changing industry and climate landscape by making it easier to create healthier, more sustainable infrastructure for their projects.” says KOVA president Trevor Schick.
