Meet the Tune® HVAC Smart Chip

HVAC Smart Chip is Tune’s energy technology that optimizes HVAC fan operation to eliminate wasted latent energy and improve overall system efficiency. By intelligently extending fan run time, it helps facilities reduce unnecessary cycling and operate more smoothly.

Solving a Hidden Source of HVAC Inefficiency

In most commercial HVAC systems, inefficiency occurs after the thermostat is satisfied. The system shuts off, the fan completes its timed run, and valuable heated or cooled air remains trapped in the ductwork and coils.

Because standard air handlers lack the ability to dynamically adjust fan run time, this latent energy is wasted. The result is increased system cycling, higher electrical demand, and unnecessary wear on HVAC equipment.

Intelligent Fan Control That Uses Energy Already Paid For

HVAC Smart Chip addresses this inefficiency by customizing fan run time to push remaining hot or cold air into occupied spaces before the system fully shuts down.

Instead of producing more heating or cooling, the Smart Chip ensures existing energy is fully utilized—reducing the need for additional cycles and improving system performance.

Measurable Performance Improvements

HVAC Smart Chip delivers consistent, verifiable efficiency gains:

  • 5–10% reduction in HVAC cycles by eliminating wasted latent energy
  • 7% average reduction in HVAC system usage, according to third-party Intertek studies
  • Lower overall kWh consumption without impacting occupant comfort

By reducing short cycling and unnecessary starts, Smart Chip also supports longer equipment life and more stable system operation.

Designed for Seamless Integration

HVAC Smart Chip is a low-impact technology that integrates directly into existing HVAC systems.

  • No major equipment replacement required
  • Works alongside existing controls and thermostats
  • Ideal for facilities seeking efficiency improvements without operational disruption

Once installed, the system continuously optimizes fan operation automatically.

Supporting Smarter Facility Operations

Beyond efficiency gains, HVAC Smart Chip contributes to better overall facility performance:

  • Reduced stress on HVAC components
  • More consistent airflow and temperature delivery
  • Improved operational predictability across locations

It’s a simple, technology-driven approach to eliminating energy waste built into standard HVAC operation.
