Bridging Research and Reality
At Wattnest, we bring research-grade HVAC fault detection and predictive maintenance from the lab to commercial HVAC service companies. Our mission is to make every service truck smarter, every technician faster, and every building safer.
The Challenge We're Solving
Commercial HVAC systems are the backbone of building operations, yet the industry still relies on reactive maintenance that costs more, wastes energy, and disrupts tenants.
- HVAC systems account for 40% of commercial building energy use, making efficiency critical
- 85% of HVAC equipment failures are preventable with early detection
- Reactive maintenance costs 3 to 9 times more than predictive maintenance
- Unplanned HVAC downtime costs $2,000 to $10,000+ per hour for data centers
- Current monitoring relies on manual inspections and scheduled maintenance that misses developing faults

Our Solution: AI That Predicts HVAC Failures Before They Happen
Utilizing advanced time-series machine learning algorithms and traditional fault detection methods, our platform delivers:
- 95 to 99% fault detection accuracy using ML-powered classifiers validated on industry-standard benchmark data
- 20 to 30 days advance warning before critical failures, powered by a 5-signal ensemble prediction engine
- Physics-informed degradation models grounded in thermodynamic principles, not just black-box ML
- Low-cost edge sensor hardware with a lightweight ML model that installs in 15 minutes
- White-label ready for HVAC service companies to offer as their own predictive maintenance platform
