Texas-based AIIR Products is working with Nelson & Co to expand AI-driven, energy-efficient HVAC across Florida.

The collaboration brings smarter, more sustainable climate options to hospitality, student housing and multi-family developments in north and central Florida.

Nelson & Co is a commercial HVAC manufacturer’s representative serving north and central Florida. The collaboration will make AIIR’s intelligent HVAC systems more widely available to developers, property owners and institutional partners across the region, with an initial focus on hospitality, student housing and large-scale mixed-use developments.

For decades, Nelson & Co has partnered with hospitality brands and major universities, including the University of Central Florida, University of Florida and Florida State University, to deliver tailored HVAC that optimises performance and efficiency. By teaming up with AIIR, Nelson & Co will introduce its customers to technology designed to reduce energy consumption, increase usable space, simplify installation and support portfolio-scale deployments across urban and suburban environments.

AIIR’s flagship intelligent HVAC system combines onboard sensors, machine-learning algorithms and a high-efficiency air-source heat pump to deliver responsive comfort and energy savings. By blending real-time occupancy, humidity and temperature data, the integrated hardware and AI and ML software maintain a consistent feels-like target temperature, reducing swings and improving real user comfort versus setpoint alone. The result is personalised indoor comfort for the occupant, with the system delivering up to 30% energy savings compared with traditional single-speed systems.

Its compact, modern design eliminates the need for bulky ductwork or dedicated closet space, helping developers unlock additional square metreage while improving cost efficiency and ensuring reliable performance at scale. Built to handle the mixed climate drivers common across Florida, the systems are equally effective for new construction and retrofit projects, with installation simplified for contractors and operators.

“This partnership represents a major milestone as we bring AIIR’s cutting-edge technology to one of the fastest-growing regions for hospitality and student housing,” said Trevor Schick, president of AIIR Products. “Nelson & Co’s deep expertise, trusted relationships, and commitment to service excellence make them an ideal partner to accelerate adoption across Florida.”

Rory Stiglitz, principal at Nelson & Co (ncjax.com), added: “AIIR represents the kind of breakthrough innovation we’re excited to bring to our customers. Their in-wall design is truly unique in the market, delivering the comfort and performance our clients expect without sacrificing valuable floor space or requiring dedicated closet areas like traditional VTAC systems. What really sets AIIR apart is their integration of AI technology that learns occupancy patterns and automatically optimises performance for energy savings. This is the kind of forward-thinking product innovation we haven’t seen in this space in years, and we’re proud to partner with AIIR to bring it to the commercial HVAC market.”

With its strong regional network and hands-on approach to engineering and service, Nelson & Co will lead the introduction and integration of AIIR’s technology across north and central Florida’s hospitality, student housing and multi-family sectors, supporting developers, universities and hospitality chains with smarter, scalable options that prioritise comfort, reliability and sustainability.
