Intelligent fluid flow sensor for HVAC and water pipelines
Jarkko Antila

Missing or poor HVAC control systems cause tens of percents of energy losses in buildings, resulting in high costs and unwanted climate effects. On the other hand the construction boom and aging buildings cause water damages and leaks, worth $13b/a for US households. Novel ultrasound based sensor technology produces 10x improvements in HVAC systems and 10x improvement to water leak detection while enabling preventive maintenance property to water meters. We are applying for a Research to Business project at VTT to spin-off a company to commercialize the solution.
