Heating Ventilation Air-conditioning (HVAC) has the highest share in the electricity load of around 42% in homes and 39% in commercial buildings; our country having the 2nd most expensive power rate in Asia Pacific Region. According to the Quezon Power (Philippines) Lid. Co. (QPPL) managing director Frank Thiel, the Philippines would also experience a power crisis during 2022 summer months amidst the demand increase with scarce energy reserves and volatile price of fossil fuel; “Power demand is expected to increase on 2022 as the economy starts to recover and restrictions become looser” stated during the Asian Power Thermal Energy Conference. Thus, this encouraged the researchers to develop a Smart AC Controller that comes with an android mobile app, cloud computing applications, Artificial Intelligence through Machine Learning working with various input and output devices to balance comfort and maximize energy conservation without having to compromise their thermal comfort, that
will result to a lower monthly electricity bill.
