Carrier and Google Cloud are collaborating to enhance grid resilience through AI-powered home energy management systems. Carrier’s Home Energy Management System (HEMS) will integrate with Google Cloud’s AI analytics and WeatherNext models to optimize energy use in residential HVAC systems. The initiative aims to balance supply and demand across the grid by allowing homeowners to store and use battery energy during peak hours, reducing electricity costs and strain on the grid.

The partnership aligns with Google's goal of advancing carbon-free energy solutions and Carrier's commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions. By leveraging AI, the system will forecast energy demand, manage battery storage, and optimize HVAC performance based on real-time grid conditions and weather predictions. This technology is expected to improve energy efficiency, reduce grid congestion, and support economic growth.

Carrier’s next-generation heat pump, featuring battery storage and AI-driven grid interaction, was first announced at Climate Week NYC and will roll out in phases through 2027. The collaboration aims to create a more intelligent and flexible energy infrastructure, benefiting homeowners while supporting the broader transition to a sustainable energy ecosystem.
