Palm Beach Gardens, Florida — Carrier and Google Cloud have announced a new partnership.
The two companies are joining forces to combine Carrier’s new AI-powered home energy management system (HEMS) and Google Cloud’s AI analytics. This initiative is led by Carrier Energy, Carrier’s new energy solutions business.
“By leveraging real-time energy forecasting and intelligent grid interaction, Carrier and Google Cloud are working to ensure Carrier’s HEMS technology will help balance supply and demand across the grid,” explains both companies in a press release. “For homeowners, this means they can store energy in batteries and use it during peak demand periods, when electricity costs are typically higher. Google’s AI-powered WeatherNext models further optimize HVAC operation, enabling greater efficiency and potential cost savings. This will help promote greater availability, reliability and affordability for energy users.”
