Fully Autonomous AI Solution - (no programming)
Upgrade to a smarter, fully autonomous Plug & Play HVAC-R AI Optimisation System, no programming, just instant efficiency.
REED is easily installed by your existing mechanical services team, instantly upgrading your system to AI-driven intelligence. This cutting-edge system eliminates complexity while maximising performance.
And when it is time to upgrade or replace your HVAC-R system, REED moves too, seamlessly transferring to your new infrastructure.
Dynamic Charge Optimisation
Unlock Peak Efficiency with REED’s Charge Optimisation
REED removes refrigerant from the system when the conditions do not require it and returns it when it is needed, reducing pressure on the compressor.
REED works by opening the system's refrigerant circuit allowing for dynamic refrigerant optimisation to perfectly match the demand and environmental requirements.
REED supplies the correct amount of cooling or heating for the least amount of electricity.
System Boost
Refrigerant Energy Battery
REED stores refrigerant removed from the system at the same compressor generated high pressure (potential energy). This provides an energy boost when returned to the system reducing load on the compressor, creating meaningful energy savings.
Refrigerant Leak Detection & Mitigation
Fugitive Emissions Reduction
REED’s fluidly connected novel design, precision custom digital sensor suite and machine learning software enable it to detect system leaks and mitigate intermittent micro leaks that occur at pressure, with an advanced level of capability and accuracy only achievable through REED.

Deterministic AI
Predictable, Precision, Proven Performance
REED puts deterministic AI at the heart of HVAC optimisation, delivering certainty where black-box systems leave you guessing. Every adjustment is based on clear cause-and-effect data between energy use and system performance, ensuring results are transparent, predictable, and verifiable. For assets as significant as HVAC, that means confidence in every decision.
With REED, optimisation is precise, not experimental. You get real-time efficiency gains, extended equipment life, and reduced operational risk, all backed by visible data you can trust. No trial and error, Just measurable energy savings and protection for one of your most valuable capital investments.
Measured and Metered
Energy Savings
Our REED AI optimisation isn’t magic, it’s the power of data at work. With a comprehensive digital sensor suite and power meters on every compressor, we track system performance in real time, correlating every kilowatt of electricity used with actual heating and cooling delivered. This level of insight gives us a precision that other HVAC controls simply can’t match.
Trained on real-world system data since 2017, our AI has developed unmatched intelligence in driving efficiency and performance. Clients consistently see 20–40% documented energy savings, reduced maintenance costs, and faster progress towards net zero. It’s not guesswork, it’s proven, data-driven optimisation.
Verified ROI
Smarter HVAC, Faster Payback
REED delivers a clear, data-driven return on investment by equipping every system and each individual compressor with smart power meters. These provide precise, real-time energy consumption data, enabling clients to quantify savings and performance improvements with complete transparency.
By capturing detailed energy profiles before and after optimisation, we empower clients to track efficiency gains, verify CO₂ reductions, and calculate financial returns with confidence. This robust data not only demonstrates the value of our solutions but also supports ESG reporting and long-term sustainability planning.
Predictive Maintenance
Remote Diagnostic
Beyond energy savings, REED offers remote diagnostics and predictive maintenance, ensuring proactive issue detection before failures occur.
By continuously analysing equipment health and performance trends, the AI can predict potential faults and inefficiencies, allowing maintenance teams to address issues before they escalate into costly breakdowns.
This minimises downtime, extends equipment lifespan, and significantly reduces maintenance costs—transforming HVAC-R management from reactive to proactive.
Plant Life Extension
Extend your plant life, Extend your ROI
Extending the life of HVAC equipment is one of the smartest financial wins for building owners. By retrofitting our technology within the first five years, units can last an extra 2.4 years, delaying costly replacements and squeezing maximum value from every dollar already invested. That’s extra years of peak performance without the heavy capital outlay of buying new equipment.
The savings don’t stop there. Longer life means fewer breakdowns, fewer emergency repairs, and more predictable budgeting. With less strain on your assets and more control over operating costs, you unlock powerful financial returns that stack alongside your energy savings, delivering ROI that keeps compounding year after year.
Dynamic Dashboard
Total System Clarity, from Portfolio to
Compressor
Our intelligent dashboard turns complex HVAC system data into clear, actionable insights. With tailored executive, service, and daily views, you get exactly the information you need—whether it’s big-picture performance or granular details down to individual compressors. The intuitive tree structure organizes every site, unit, and component, making it simple to track multiple facilities while assigning access and permissions to facility managers, service providers, or even government agencies.
Beyond visibility, the dashboard keeps you ahead of the curve with predictive maintenance alerts, task prioritization, and real-time failure detection. It doesn’t just show you what’s happening—it tells you what to do next, ensuring issues are solved before they become costly failures. The result is smarter decisions, streamlined operations, and complete confidence in the performance of your HVAC assets.

With three years of protection, you can rely on Cresstec products to perform day in and day out. It’s our way of showing that we don’t just deliver innovative solutions—we stand behind them. Fewer worries, more certainty, and the backing of a warranty you can trust.
Sustainability
Net Zero Endorsed, Regulatory Compliant
REED isn’t just about energy savings, it’s a proven pathway to net zero. By optimising HVAC performance in real time with advanced AI, REED delivers 25-50% reductions in electricity use, cutting both operating costs and carbon emissions. Every kilowatt-hour saved translates directly into measurable CO₂ reduction, helping businesses hit their decarbonisation targets faster.
Our impact has been formally recognised with AE909 approval from the Australian Defence Force, endorsing REED as a trusted net zero and carbon reduction initiative. This validation highlights not only the financial returns but also the powerful sustainability gains our clients achieve, turning smart HVAC systems into key drivers of their net zero strategy.
ESG Reporting & Compliance
Effortless ESG & Regulatory Reporting,
Powered by Precision Data
Our digital sensor suite, power meters, and intelligent dashboard deliver every data point you need for Scope 1 ESG reporting and any other regulatory compliance. From overall HVAC-R systems down to individual compressors, we provide real-time, verifiable emissions and energy-use data that captures your company’s direct, owned, and controlled greenhouse gas outputs.
With all reporting data seamlessly organized and accessible, compliance becomes simple and transparent. You’ll not only meet ESG and regulatory requirements with confidence—you’ll demonstrate measurable carbon reductions that strengthen your net zero credentials and enhance stakeholder trust.
