To stay ahead means to look further than the current position. Always seeking new solutions and technologies to stimulate customers. As we approach the end of 2020, the industry must focus on 2021 to bring new innovations, technologies, and a more sustainable life. This article will present the HVAC industry trends for 2021.
As we approach the new year, let’s look at the HVAC trends that will surely emerge in 2021. The industry faces new challenges, whether it’s emerging green tech, smart homes, or new technological developments. We’ve all spent a lot of time indoors this year, and this will continue into next year. So, what will 2021 look like for heating, ventilation, and air conditioning?
New, green, environmentally-conscious technologies are expected to grow faster in 2021. This means heating systems will be powered by electricity or hydrogen. Or countless smart inventions will provide cleaner solutions. HVAC innovations have the opportunity to lead the way in change. With growth in the green sector, HVAC trends will play an important role in the rise of sustainable energy.
To have a dry, moisture-free, and healthy air environment, there are many available options. For example, Baumit’s lime and silicate-based plaster. These materials, with their vapor-permeable properties and low emissions, provide breathable, environmentally-friendly plaster for interiors of all shapes and sizes. We spend 90% of our lives indoors, so providing high-quality finishes for interior walls seems crucial to our health.
One of the biggest technological changes in homes is the shift towards smart integration. Amazon’s Alexa and Google Home are changing how people think about technology. Instead of having separate devices scattered throughout the house, systems like Alexa run the entire house. Nest Thermostats offer another level of usability, increasingly attracting attention.
Having connected systems allows a central hub to control everything, whether it's a smart doorbell, interactive fridge, or thermostat. Homeowners can control the temperature of their home from their phone or central hub.
A recent report by a research firm titled "Market for Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC): Global Demand Analysis & Opportunity Outlook for 2021" has identified the rising demand for smart HVAC. The report states: "Integrating multiple features into HVAC devices, such as IoT and other features, is becoming popular among consumers and is expected to drive the growth of the HVAC market."
Furthermore, increasing installations of advanced technologies in residential homes, thanks to higher disposable incomes, is predicted to drive demand for HVAC equipment.
With new technology comes new training. The global demand for HVAC equipment rose by 6% by 2020. The development of the HVAC market has increased the demand for skills from companies. We are embracing a new generation. These individuals will be the workforce of the near future. Therefore, companies are rethinking how they recruit and train employees. More investment in training programs and skills for employees is necessary as they adapt to the changes.
HVAC contractors can use software, SEO, and other tools to connect with different communities and expand their market share. Software as a Service (SaaS) is customizable software that companies can subscribe to instead of incurring the development costs themselves. Expanding SaaS in 2021 opens new potential for HVAC manufacturers.
Just in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) – which is known to account for up to 60% of total energy consumption in commercial buildings – an AI-powered system like Honeywell Forge Energy Optimization can save between 10% and 20% on energy costs. SaaS has seen increased usage and effectiveness in commercial and industrial buildings. However, with many developments and apartment complexes being built across the country with a greener, more sustainable vision, SaaS software may become more suitable.
The trends outlined above demonstrate that there are great opportunities for HVAC companies to develop advanced technologies that help create more sustainable, smarter, and cost-effective residential areas. Addressing cost-effectiveness challenges will revolutionize the market and allow consumer diversity to expand as connected living becomes the standard.
2020 was a year of many upheavals. The recent pandemic experience will certainly make the clean room market more active in the near future. AHU can be said to be the heart of the clean room HVAC system. Therefore, improving AHU technology is one of the HVAC industry trends for the coming year.
