Smart Vent
A smart air vent that intelligently reduces energy usage
Heating and cooling consume much of the annual energy budget for a home and most systems are wildly inefficient. On average, homes have two to four rooms that are too hot or too cold.
This home air vent intelligently redirects HVAC flow in your home to optimize comfort and efficiency. It measures temperatures and, via a bridge, talks to the other vents to heat and cool the rooms where it's needed the most. This way, you're not chilling an already frosty room when another one is baking in heat.
The Smart Vent System was designed to increase comfort and reduce energy costs by regulating your home’s temperature room-by-room.
