Tom Hartman - Co-Founder & Principal
Tom is a Michigan State University educated mechanical engineer who has spent his entire career in the comfort conditioning industry. He discovered the Equal Marginal Performance Principle, a direct multi-variable control method for true energy optimization, and has employed it many times in his system designs. This and other multi-variable control technologies have won him numerous awards for innovation and design excellence.
Much of Tom’s career has been focused on improving the indoor environmental quality in office environments by providing a more direct connection between individual occupants and the building comfort system. The recent proliferation and innovation in the arenas of sensor, control, and network technologies, along with AI and IoT, allow Tom to realize his vision of individually controlled conditioning of office environments.
