Comfort Through Technology

Human Comfort is a software and hardware development company dedicated to the Energy Retrofitting and Home Performance industry.

Accelerating Energy Independence with Scalable Retrofitting Solutions

Energy independence and sustainability are increasingly critical for economic stability, environmental responsibility, and national security. Human Comfort addresses these critical needs through innovative technology—integrating software, hardware, and robotics—to streamline energy retrofitting on a massive scale.

Energy Independence: A Vital Necessity

Despite being a significant energy producer, the U.S. remains dependent on imported energy, exposing it to economic volatility and geopolitical risks. Reducing consumption through improved efficiency provides a powerful pathway to true energy independence, environmental protection, and economic stability.

Tackling Energy Waste

According to Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, nearly 61.5% of U.S. energy consumption is lost due to inefficiencies. Residential properties significantly contribute to this waste through poor insulation, outdated construction, and insufficient air sealing.

Challenges in Scaling Retrofitting

Scaling residential energy retrofits traditionally faces several barriers:

  • High labor costs and shortages
  • Inconsistent quality of audits and retrofits
  • Slow and manual processes

The Human Comfort Optimizer™ Solution

Human Comfort has created a robust, integrated platform designed explicitly for scalability and precision:

Human Comfort Optimizer SID™ (Sensory Interface Device)

  • A wearable, sensor-rich device capturing real-time thermal, infrared, and spatial data.
  • Accurately identifies insulation gaps, air leaks, and other inefficiencies in a single inspection.

Human Comfort Robotics

  • Advanced series of robots designed specifically for home energy retrofitting and connected to our HCO 3.1 software platform.
  • Enhances speed of installation and reduces human exposure to confined spaces.

Human Comfort Optimizer App™

  • Cloud-based analytics platform processing real-time data.
  • Automated report generation, standardized processes, and ensures consistent, high-quality audits.

Proven Results

A recent large-scale pilot demonstrated:

  • Retrofitting of 6,000 homes in two years.
  • Peak efficiency reaching 35 homes/day.
  • Reducing retrofitting costs by 20% per square foot for multi-family housing.

Workforce Transformation

Human Comfort also revolutionizes technician training with mobile training units, quickly converting diverse educational and professional backgrounds into skilled retrofitting specialists. The intuitive, user-friendly design of the Human Comfort Optimizer™ platform reduces training time from months to days.

The Path Forward

Human Comfort offers utilities, implementers, and end users a scalable, reliable, and economically viable solution to dramatically improve energy efficiency. By embedding innovation directly into retrofitting processes, Human Comfort helps achieve energy independence, lowers operational costs, and strengthens environmental sustainability.

Our Robotics

Spyder-Bot v1.0

Our robotics division is currently working on three prototypes specifically for energy retrofitting on scale. Inside our robotics division, we have several goals that underscore all of our objectives:

Speed: Everything needs to be getting faster.
Miniaturization: Everything needs to be smaller.

Our Mid term goal (mid 2026) is to have a single person installation crew assisted with 4 robots. This will represent an (industry standard) crew of 7 people.
