Abstract :

The current research seeks to analyze the use of artificial intelligence-based predictive maintenance techniques in HVAC systems, with particular emphasis on reducing equipment downtime. Work done in this paper shows that conventional maintenance techniques, such as reactive and preventive maintenance, contribute to rising operational costs and unanticipated system breakdowns. Predictive maintenance, on the other hand, is an AI and machine learning-based solution that helps identify failure points in advance and provides the best time for maintenance and upkeep of the systems for uninterrupted runtime by the system. This study also presents the current developments in AI technologies, such as data analytics models, sensors, and real-time monitoring, that aid in the identification of early signs of anomalies and prediction. The performance of the proposed approach is explained with the help of case studies and empirical facts that show that AI-driven predictive maintenance has positive effects on energy consumption, cost, and reliability of the systems. The results prove that the role of AI is significant for the development of the HVAC industry and the improvement of its effective and innovative maintenance.
