Residential buildings in Australia are responsible for 24% of the nation’s electricity consumption and over 10% of total carbon emissions, according to the Australian Government Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water (July 2024). Homes and apartments with poor energy performance negatively impact the broader economy and strain the energy grid.
As global awareness of climate change grows, homeowners increasingly focus on regulating energy consumption. Consumers across all generations are now actively seeking sustainable solutions, with smart home technology—once considered a luxury—now recognised as a key tool for environmental stewardship.
Heating and cooling together consume the most energy in the average Australian home, accounting for approximately 40% of household energy use, according to YourHome.gov.au.
iZone’s advanced home automation system can significantly reduce your carbon footprint, paving the way for the future where technology and sustainability go hand in hand while saving on energy bills.
Integrating iZone into your home greatly reduces your environmental impact and supports a greener lifestyle. iZone’s Climate Control Systems provide key benefits that support eco-friendly homes.
Optimised Cooling and Heating
iZone Climate Control Systems use advanced algorithms and sensors to adjust the temperature based on real-time data received from specific room temperature and induct temperature sensors. Unnecessary energy consumption is being reduced ensuring that the system only works when needed.
Programmable Schedules
Users can set cooling and heating scenes (schedules) that align with their daily routines, minimising energy use during periods when cooling is unnecessary, such as when the home is empty.
iZone’s climate control system can automatically adjust your system’s fan speed according to how many zones or rooms are actively being heated or cooled.

Lower Energy Consumption
By optimising energy use, iZone’s Climate Control systems reduce the overall electricity demand, which lowers carbon emissions from power generation.
Integration with Renewable Energy
iZone’s system integrates with fresh air intake systems and solar panels allowing homes to maximise their use of renewable energy.
Filtration Warning System
iZone’s ‘Clean Me’ Warning System will remind you to clean your air conditioning system filter, which will help your family breathe and feel better with less dust entering through your air conditioning system which might even reduce allergens.
Free, natural night cooling with iSave
Drawing in cool night air from outside (instead of using your aircon unit) to cool your home in summer can save you thousands of dollars. iSave is optional and requires extra hardware.
Optimised Air Quality Measurement
iZone’s Nexus climate control system monitors both indoor and outdoor air quality, adjusting ventilation as needed. This ensures air purifiers and HVAC systems run only when necessary, conserving energy.
Remote Monitoring and Control
The ability to control and monitor your aircon and smart devices remotely through the iZone Home mobile application prevents the system from running unnecessarily, further cutting down on energy use.
Preventive Maintenance Alerts
Most of iZone’s Climate Control Systems include a warning to replace the air conditioning filters. This extends the life of your AC unit, reducing replacement needs and ensuring optimal system efficiency.
Power Monitoring
iZone’s power monitoring device provides real-time data on power usage, helping identify and reduce energy waste by pinpointing inefficient devices and habits, so you can make smarter energy choices.
Smart Blinds
Motorised smart blinds can adjust to let in winter sun or block summer brightness. Integrating these blinds with your air conditioning will reduce energy costs and decrease the need for artificial lighting.
Smart Irrigation
Watering schedules can be adjusted based on weather forecasts, reducing water waste and conserving this vital resource. The ‘soak and cycle’ mode reduces ‘runoff’ preserving soil health and reducing pollution in waterways.
Smart Cameras
These can be programmed to activate only when needed, such as when motion is detected, reducing unnecessary energy use compared to continuously running systems.
Smart Lights
They last longer than traditional globes and can switch off with motion sensors or be programmed to turn off when not in use, reducing energy consumption and minimising waste.
Reduced Energy Bills
The efficiency of smart AC systems leads to lower energy bills for homeowners. These savings can drive further investments in other sustainable home improvements, creating a positive cycle of environmental benefits
