This new wave of innovation is rapidly transforming the HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) sector, ensuring increased efficiency, sustainability, and comfort. According to a report by Research and Markets, the global smart HVAC controls market is expected to grow to USD 26.7 billion by 2027.
