Commonpoint Partners with Thalo Labs to Keep NYC Community Center Cool During Historic Heatwave
Thalo Labs, a NYC-based HVAC sensing and AI company founded by former engineers from Google and NASA, has partnered with Commonpoint, a New York City-based nonprofit, to keep a vital community center cool and operational during one of the hottest summers on record. Thanks to Thalo Labs’ high-accuracy sensors and proactive alerts, the facility preventatively avoided HVAC failures, keeping the space safe and comfortable for those who rely on it.
As temperatures soared above 95ºF in June, HVAC systems at Commonpoint’s facility were pushed to their limits. But with Thalo’s solution monitoring all 15 rooftop units, the team was able to detect and resolve emerging issues before they turned into emergencies – maintaining 100% uptime with zero service interruptions.
“During extreme heat, our facility becomes more than just a building, it’s a lifeline. With Thalo Labs’ technology, we didn’t have to scramble when things went wrong, we prevented them from going wrong in the first place. That meant our team could stay focused on what matters: keeping our doors open and our community safe.” – David Slotnick, Assistant Vice President, Facilities, Commonpoint
Designed to work seamlessly across diverse building systems, Thalo Labs’ HVAC Equipment Management technology runs independently over cellular networks and provides real-time insights that help facility teams act before problems escalate. It’s a reliable, scalable, and innovative solution that empowers teams to stay ahead of issues without disrupting day-to-day operations.
“This partnership shows how much is possible when you give people the right tools ahead of time – preventing breakdowns where it matters most,” said Dr. Brendan Hermalyn, CEO of Thalo Labs. “We’re proud to support organizations like Commonpoint that provide essential services to New Yorkers every day.”
