The first App for selecting the most suitable heat pump

AIT Center for Energy developed the first APP for optical and acoustic positioning of heating and cooling devices

Heat pumps are the first choice, if it concerns to bring heating cost saving and environmental-careful heat production together. However their acquisition is a long-term decision and requires exact planning. The HVAC Positioner is the first and only App that uses augmented reality to place a heat pump in a real environment. The implemented real-time sound propagation calculation allows to position the system (heat pump or refrigeration system) perfectly according to current regulations and personal preferences.

The AIT Austrian Institute of Technology has developed a method to minimize noise emissions of the population in urban areas. These methods allow a simple, intuitive and at the same time precise handling of noise emissions and are used in the App of the HVAC Positioner.

The advantages of the HVAC Positioner at a glance:

  • Integration of the heat pump / cooling unit in any environment  
  • The noise development can be displayed visually 
  • Ongoing development of the application  
  • Continuous updating of the database and device types 
  • Available in iOS and Playstore - but the end device (tablet, cell phone) must support augmented reality
