Sentir™
Remote HVAC Monitoring and AI Diagnostics for Commercial Buildings
Sentir ships sensors for your rooftop units and HVAC equipment anywhere in the world, then watches them 24/7 remotely. When a space runs too hot, too humid or just feels off, Sentir's data shows the real cause, often within 24 hours, so you pay for the right fix instead of a guess.
We produce data-backed diagnostic evaluations that identify the hidden problems currently causing discomfort, and catch future problems before they become costly failures.
Why Commercial HVAC Problems Get Misdiagnosed
When something breaks, nobody has the data to explain why — so time and money is often wasted on guesses instead of the true fix.
No Data,
Just Opinions
When a comfort complaint comes in and there is no obvious fix needed, no one can point to a number that settles it, and the guessing game begins.
The Wrong Fix
Gets Expensive
Without real diagnostics, the simple fix isn't always the right one. One property was quoted $160,000 for a solution that would not have solved the root problem. See how a $160,000 quote was avoided.
Small Faults Become
Emergency Calls
By the time a space feels too hot, too humid, or just off, the cost and disruptions grow and it takes more time and resources to rectify.
Sensors, AI Diagnostics and Pre-Diagnosed Service in One Platform
Hardware that senses, software that thinks and diagnoses, and a service network that acts on maintenance issues flagged by the Sentir AI. Explore Sentir's HVAC fault detection and diagnostics.
How Sentir Finds HVAC Faults Before They Fail
Sense
AI sensor nodes track refrigerant, air, power data, and more to produce data that is captured by our hardware.
Diagnose
AI uses predictive cloud modelling to catch an existing or developing issue based on captured data.
Solve
The right fix is identified, designed and proposed based on exactly what the data shows.
This is what your technician will use to install the fix required.
Monitor
Once it's fixed, Sentir keeps watching with an ongoing monthly monitoring plan that flags issues early for your technician to act on.

A $160,000 Fix That Wouldn't Have Worked
A newly built HVAC system still left the space too hot, with patrons feeling sluggish as headcount rose. The owner blamed the installer and the installer blamed the engineer — and a third-party contractor proposed a $160,000 extra AC solution to fix it.
Sentir's data showed the real problem: a latent load three times normal capacity, with CO₂ spiking to 3,812 ppm at peak occupancy. More AC was never going to fix a ventilation problem. The right-sized Dedicated Outside Air System (DOAS) unit cost $70,000 instead.
Immediately, against the wrong quote — before the $70,000 DOAS the owner needed anyway. Satisfied with the fix, the owner then ordered 4 more Sentir systems, transitioning every HVAC unit on the property onto Sentir.
"In a fully deployed Sentir system, this gets flagged in the first virtual diagnosis — before any patron ever feels it."
Start with HVAC. The same hardware extends to indoor air quality, water and sub-metering.
Monitored Remotely, Wherever You Are
Sentir ships the sensor kit to your site, your own HVAC contractor installs it, and Sentir monitors and diagnoses it remotely. Sentir is based in Edmonton, Alberta, and your existing contractor stays in the loop.
