Artificial Intelligence in Ventilation Technology: etaSmart Demonstrates Potential Savings in Practice

A technical article in the cci newspaper shows how HANSA is advancing the energy-efficient operation of ventilation systems with its model-predictive AI controller, etaSmart. etaSmart has been available as a market-ready product for swimming pool ventilation since 2023.

The article explains that conventional control strategies can reach their limits in complex applications such as swimming pools. etaSmart therefore relies on model-predictive control, which takes into account the system, the building, usage patterns, weather conditions, and other influencing factors in order to proactively optimize operations.

The real-world results cited in the article also demonstrate the potential of this approach: The system has been implemented in 15 swimming pools to date, achieving an average energy savings of approximately 20% for the ventilation system. For the indoor swimming pool in Ramsloh, the article also reports an average electricity savings of 29% and an average heat savings of 24%.

Furthermore, the article reports on the further development of etaSmart in a multi-zone building. In an initial customer project at a swimming pool with three served zones, the air duct pressure was dynamically regulated. Initial results there show a 25% energy savings in electricity consumption and a 42% savings in heat.

The article thus makes it clear: Artificial intelligence is no longer a topic of the future in ventilation technology, but is already a concrete approach today for operating systems more efficiently and tapping into new potential in control systems.
