This report is a new 2024 study that provides a detailed market forecast to 2029, broken down by region and vertical market.
In today's complex commercial real estate landscape, energy management has become a critical focus for property and facilities managers. Optimizing energy use is not just about lowering costs, it has become a key factor in achieving sustainability and resource efficiency.
This new research takes an in-depth look at how artificial intelligence-driven energy management technologies will transform the way HVAC systems operate, enhancing both operational efficiency and sustainability. The report includes, at no extra cost, a spreadsheet containing the data from the report and high-resolution presentation charts showing the key findings. It is the first in a 2-part series of reports, with the second report on building-to-grid interaction software being published later this year.
Both these reports are included in Memoori's 2024 Premium Subscription Service, which also gives access to our chatbot AIM, where you can query all our research using the power of Large Language Models (LLMs).

HVAC Energy Management Solution Maturity Model
To better understand the landscape of HVAC energy management solutions and their relative maturity, Memoori has developed a model categorizing these solutions into four distinct tiers.
- Tier 1 represents basic energy monitoring and rule-based control, with limited automation and integration.
- Tier 2 introduces semi-automated control and basic data-driven analytics, allowing for more comprehensive energy management.
- Tier 3 transitions to data-driven optimization incorporating machine learning and predictive analytics, enabling dynamic optimization based on real-time and predictive data.
- Tier 4 represents the pinnacle of HVAC energy management, with predominantly autonomous and AI-driven systems capable of optimizing performance without human intervention.
Based on an assessment of available data on technology adoption, the report develops a theoretical model of the global distribution across the HVAC Energy Management Solution Maturity tiers.
