Heating and cooling account for 40% of a building's energy use. The "Economy Mode" of 2026 isn't just turning down the thermostat—it's understanding the thermodynamics of the building itself.

Thermal Inertia Utilization

Buildings are massive thermal batteries. Autonomic allows temperature to drift slightly within a "comfort band" (e.g., 21°C - 23°C) to utilize this thermal mass, reducing compressor runtime by up to 40% without occupants ever realizing the temperature has changed.

Occupancy-Aware Zoning

Why cool an empty conference room? Using LIDAR and CO2 sensors, the system detects exactly how many people are in a room and adjusts airflow in real-time. If a zone is empty, it goes into deep sleep mode instantly.
