App Concept

PressureRelief Pro

A smart HVAC balancing system that monitors building pressure and automatically adjusts dampers and exhaust fans to maintain neutral pressure, preventing doors from being forced open. Integrates with existing HVAC units and provides real-time diagnostics.

Key Features

Real-time pressure monitoring using sensors
Automated control of barometric dampers and exhaust fans
Integration with existing HVAC units (Carrier, AAON, etc.)
Mobile alerts and remote adjustment via app

Target Users: HVAC technicians and building maintenance staff for commercial buildings (veterinary clinics, hospitals, offices) with pressure imbalance issues, typically serving facilities with multiple HVAC units.

Revenue Model: $499 per system hardware + $29/mo subscription for monitoring and remote control
