VaprTech provides a controller‑sensor add‑on that retrofits existing DX, VRF, VRV, chiller and CRAC air‑conditioning units with physics‑based heat‑flow modeling and AI‑driven predictive control. By mapping heat flow, optimizing sensor placement, and creating a digital twin that incorporates real‑time temperature data and weather forecasts, the system dynamically adjusts compressors and fans to reduce cooling energy consumption by up to 30% without hardware changes.

Problem
Air-conditioning systems often consume excessive energy because they lack real-time, space-aware control of compressors and fans, leading to higher operating costs and difficulty meeting net‑zero targets.
Solution
VaprTech offers a controller‑sensor add‑on that enhances existing DX, VRF, VRV, chiller and CRAC units with physics‑based modeling and artificial intelligence. The solution first maps heat flow using computational fluid dynamics to determine optimal sensor placement, then creates a digital twin of the space using temperature data and weather forecasts. Real‑time AI algorithms adjust compressor and fan operation to match actual cooling demand, delivering up to 30 % reduction in energy use without modifying the underlying HVAC hardware. Installation is performed by certified professionals and integrates with building management systems, allowing operators to maintain current equipment while improving efficiency.
Target Audience
Primary customers are building owners, facility managers and HVAC contractors seeking to lower energy costs and meet sustainability goals for commercial, residential and industrial properties.
