OpenNLC: Revolutionizing HVAC
Efficiency with Free Lighting
Integration Software

Unlock up to 30% HVAC energy savings in commercial buildings with open, software integration
that optimizes smart thermostats using real-time occupancy data from networked lighting controls or
standalone sensors, all at no cost to qualified integrators and contractors.

The OpenNLC
project launches in mid 2026

with comprehensive results from utility sponsored pilots shared in mid-2027.
The project focuses on thermostat applications for constant volume HVAC units, offering free software licensing to
system integrators, HVAC and lighting contractors, and manufacturers. This enables seamless deployment of AI-driven
controls that adapt to real-time building usage patterns, delivering measurable reductions in energy consumption.
