Ventilation of the Future: What AirGreen Envisions for Smart Homes in Montréal by 2035

Toward Intelligent, Sustainable, and Invisible Ventilation: Montréal at the Heart of the Residential HVAC Revolution

By 2035, the landscape of Montréal homes will be profoundly transformed. Smarter, more efficient, more sustainable… but also more demanding in terms of HVAC ventilation. At AirGreen, we are already anticipating this shift by designing systems that can adapt to the smart homes of tomorrow. Thanks to our local expertise in Montréal and ongoing research into technological innovations, we’re already laying the groundwork for the ventilation of the future, focused on health, energy performance, and smart integration.

A New Reality for Montréal Homes: Connectivity, Efficiency, and Adaptability

New constructions and renovations in the Montréal area already include smart thermostats, motion sensors, motorized blinds, and remote energy monitoring. Yet, ventilation remains too often overlooked, managed manually, without real-time feedback or integration with the rest of the building’s systems.

At AirGreen, we believe it’s time to shift gears.

What We Expect to Emerge by 2035

Based on our field experience and partnerships with leading HVAC manufacturers, we foresee the following evolutions in Montréal homes:

• Adaptive ventilation systems: automatically adjusting airflow based on occupancy, humidity, CO₂, or VOC levels.

• HVAC networks connected to home AI: learning user habits to anticipate ventilation needs.

• Full integration with smart home ecosystems (e.g., HomeKit, Google Home, SmartThings).

• Voice and gesture controls to adjust settings in real time.

• Predictive maintenance: built-in sensors will send alerts to AirGreen before issues arise.

• Built-in UV-C air purification modules, targeting viruses, mold, and allergens.

A Concrete Example: Smart Ventilation Installed by AirGreen in Montréal

Recently, in the Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie neighbourhood, we carried out a pilot project for a tech-savvy client who had fully automated his home. He wanted a ventilation system that could self-regulate without human intervention.

We installed a Venmar AVS E15 ECM ventilation system with multiparameter sensors, connected to:

• A smart home dashboard via a wall-mounted tablet.

• CO₂ sensors in bedrooms and the playroom.

• A fine particle air quality sensor.

• A custom mobile app, integrated with his smart thermostat.

The system adjusts airflow in real time, room by room, based on precise needs.

Results: Comfort, Savings, and Complete Control

Since commissioning:

• Ventilation-related energy costs dropped by 22%.

• Indoor air quality remained stable, even during July heatwaves.

• The client can monitor air quality in real time, and receives alerts when the filter needs to be replaced.

This type of setup, once reserved for commercial buildings, is now available for residential clients, thanks to our expertise and advances in HVAC technologies.

Montréal: A Fertile Ground for HVAC Innovation

Why is this revolution starting in Montréal?

• Because our extreme climate demands robust, high-performance solutions.

• Because homeowners increasingly seek comfort, autonomy, and energy efficiency.

• Because smart homes are becoming the norm, and ventilation is the forgotten piece of the puzzle.
