A smart HVAC model for India's $2.1T construction boom

What was once hidden behind walls and ceilings is now leading the charge in smart, sustainable construction. With loT-enabled systems like 75F's, HVAC is transforming from a utility to an innovation engine. For example, Flipkart's 837,279 sq. ft. campus achieved a 27 percent energy reduction and a UL air quality certification in 45 days using 75F's smart HVAC, setting a new benchmark for sustainable construction.

For project procurement professionals navigating India's rapidly expanding construction sector, optimising building performance while meeting strict sustainability goals is a key challenge. Consider the case of Flipkart's 837,279 sq. ft. campus. They faced issues like inconsistent indoor temperatures and lacked a central Building Management System (BMS). Flipkart chose advanced HVAC technology, implementing 75F's smart solutions for Dynamic Airflow Balancing, Dynamic Chilled Water Balancing, and Indoor Air Quality Monitoring. The outcome was impressive: a 27 percent reduction in energy use and a UL Certification for Indoor Air Quality. This was achieved in just 45 days, with no disruption to ongoing operations. This success story demonstrates that HVAC systems are not merely utilities; they are vital strategic assets that enhance efficiency, comfort, and sustainability in modern buildings.

India's construction and infrastructure industry is currently experiencing remarkable growth. It is set to become the world's third-largest construction market by 2025, with an estimated value of USD 2.13 trillion by 2030. This growth is fuelled by rapid urbanisation, government programs such as the Smart Cities Mission, and significant infrastructure investments, all reshaping the nation's landscape. Central to this transformation, though often underestimated, is the Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) industry. HVAC has become essential for the performance, energy efficiency, and well-being of modern buildings and their occupants.
