How the Internet of Things is turning HVAC into an operating system - with Nicholas Lea of Nortec
\n\n
\n\n\nI know what you are thinking, what does the heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) industry have to do with the Internet of Things? I had my trepidations heading into this episode as well. Because, really, what can a bunch of guys who balance temperature teach me about mobile and IoT. Right?

\n\n\nTurns out, they aren't as far back in the dark ages as I thought...In fact, they have been waiting for the technology to emerge and become affordable for quite some time.

\n\n\nMeet Nick Lea, Global Product Manager at Nortec Humidity, they build the equipment that helps us stay cool or warm and healthy. His is a grand vision of what was once a simple industry. As he says, they've just about done everything they can to control our environment from an efficiency standpoint, and now they are looking at what's next. That's what this conversation is about. When you think of all the plumbing and infrastructure that goes into homes and building that are equipped with a current and access to a network, the world of HVAC, mixed with a little IoT, becomes VERY interesting.
