AHR Expo 2026: A First Look at What’s Next from 75F

This year’s AHR Expo in Las Vegas was buzzing — not just with innovation, but with conversations about what “AI in buildings” really means. One thing became clear fast: people are done hearing about theoretical AI. They want to see it work.

That’s exactly what they got at the 75F booth. Attendees watched live demos of Saffron AI in action — answering questions, building live analytical dashboards, and acting on real building data. For many, it was the first time they’d seen an AI that could truly connect the dots between system data, insights, and action.

And that theme carried through every conversation we had. One thing was clear this year at AHR: 75F really does have the “Cure for the Common BMS.” While others spoke about what AI could do someday, we showed how it’s already working with existing systems and data today. No replacing workflows. No reinventing the wheel. Just tools that make life easier for integrators, contractors, and operators.

The reaction was consistent — a sense of relief and excitement. Visitors appreciated seeing AI used to simplify operations, not complicate them. They saw firsthand that automation can be both intelligent and practical, freeing teams to focus on higher‑value work instead of data wrangling or manual adjustments. It’s the kind of progress that makes smarter buildings finally feel within reach.

Altius ES is about giving teams more control with less friction:

• Smoother VAV work:Connect to a Smart Node over Bluetooth, see live data, and calibrate airflow by entering measured CFM so K-factors and min/max tests are handled in a few guided steps.

• Better visibility, online or offline:Rich equipment graphics stay available even if a site is temporarily offline, so techs still have context when they're on the job.

• Cleaner scheduling at scale:Point-based scheduling makes it easier to set up and manage schedules across equipment—including external gear—from one place

We also showed how upcoming hardware and sensing updates fit into that picture:

• A Connect Module that broadens flexibility without adding SKUs.

• A next‑gen Smart Node to cut wiring and installation time.

• Refreshed MyStat / MySense / Multi Sensoroptions that make sensing easier to expand without opening walls.

For visitors at AHR, the reaction was consistent: people are looking for ways to simplify installs and day‑to‑day operations while still getting the benefits of AI, wireless, and cloud‑native control. That’s exactly what Altius ES is being built to support.
