The ALTA HVAC Monitoring Solution Honored For Innovation and Excellence in U.S. Commercial Building Management Operations
SALT LAKE CITY—August 31, 2026—Monnit announced today that its ALTA HVAC Monitoring Solution won a 2026 Vision Award in the Innovative Technology category.
An independent panel of facility executives selected Monnit for its award-winning work in the 8th Annual FacilitiesNet Vision Awards, which recognize innovation and excellence in products that support efficient, profitable operations and management of institutional and commercial buildings in the United States.
Products are scored by a panel of judges made up of our Facility Influencers, members of the Building Operating Management and Facility Maintenance Decisions Editorial Advisory Boards, and other prestigious facility managers and executives.
The program recognizes 5 winners in 9 main categories, along with 3 bonus categories. The panel considered more than 170 submissions this year.
“Being recognized with a FacilitiesNet Vision Award is a tremendous honor and validates the value of giving facility teams better visibility into the systems they depend on every day,” said Monnit Founder and CEO Brad Walters. “Our ALTA HVAC Monitoring Solution helps turn real-time equipment and environmental data into actionable insights, enabling facility professionals to identify developing problems earlier, improve efficiency, and take a more proactive approach to maintaining comfortable, reliable buildings.”
Transform HVAC Data into Actionable Building Intelligence
Maintaining comfortable, energy-efficient buildings requires continuous visibility into HVAC equipment and indoor environmental conditions. Monnit ALTA® Wireless Sensors provide facility managers with real-time data to identify abnormal conditions, uncover developing equipment problems, optimize system performance, and support proactive maintenance.
HVAC systems are among the largest energy consumers in many commercial buildings. Monitoring equipment performance and environmental conditions can help facility teams identify opportunities to improve efficiency while addressing problems before they result in expensive failures.
Sensor data can also be integrated with building and maintenance systems to support data-driven maintenance strategies. By monitoring equipment conditions over time, facility teams can:
Identify developing HVAC problems before they become failures.
Support predictive and condition-based maintenance.
Optimize HVAC operation and energy use.
Reduce unnecessary service and maintenance costs.
Help protect valuable HVAC equipment and other capital assets.
Improve Efficiency and Productivity
Facility teams don't have to wait for complaints or discover problems during routine inspections. iMonnit Software continuously monitors sensor data and can notify designated personnel when conditions move outside user-defined thresholds. FMs can integrate sensor data into CMMS, BMS, and HVAC FDD systems.
Alerts can be delivered through push notifications, text messages, email, or phone calls, helping maintenance personnel respond quickly when action is required.
ALTA Sensors and iMonnit can be configured and managed from a smartphone, tablet, or computer, giving facility professionals convenient access to current and historical data from virtually anywhere.
Extend Monitoring Across the Building
The ALTA Private Wireless IoT Network Platform is designed to provide long-range, reliable communications across challenging commercial and industrial environments. Frequency-Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS) technology helps provide resilience against wireless interference, while ALTA XL Gateways extend communication capabilities across larger facilities.
Depending on site conditions, ALTA Sensors can communicate with an ALTA XL Gateway from distances of more than 2,000 feet through 18+ walls. Sensor data is transmitted securely from the sensor to the gateway through Monnit Encrypt-RF™ wireless security, helping protect communications across the private wireless network.
Monitor the Conditions That Matter
Facility teams can combine multiple ALTA Sensors to create a comprehensive picture of HVAC equipment performance and indoor environmental conditions.
Monitor temperatures inside HVAC ductwork to provide visibility into system performance, including:
Supply-air temperatures
Return-air temperatures
Heating and cooling performance
Changes that may indicate coil or other HVAC issues
The sensor uses a probe designed for duct and other temperature-monitoring applications, allowing facility teams to monitor conditions without opening the system to routine manual measurements.
Monitor indoor environmental conditions that directly affect occupant comfort and building health. ALTA Temperature and Humidity Sensors provide visibility into:
Temperature conditions
Relative humidity
Occupant comfort
Excess moisture
Environmental changes that may contribute to building concerns
Continuous monitoring can help facility personnel identify changes before they become persistent problems.
Measure airflow-related conditions to help facility teams evaluate HVAC performance. Air Velocity Sensors use pressure measurements along with ambient temperature and altitude data to determine airflow speed.
ALTA MultiStage Thermostats provide wireless HVAC control for applications requiring multiple heating and cooling stages. Features include:
Support for multiple HVAC system configurations
Up to three heating stages and two cooling stages
Occupied and Unoccupied operating states
Built-in motion detection
Lockout functionality to help prevent unauthorized changes
Together, these monitoring and control capabilities help facility teams move beyond reactive maintenance. By continuously collecting HVAC and environmental data, Monnit ALTA solutions provide the visibility needed to identify changes, respond to developing problems, improve building efficiency, and create more comfortable and reliable environments for occupants.
