To determine a patent’s score, candidates are evaluated against three critical dimensions:
- Technological Radicalness: The system discerns whether a patent introduces a fundamental new principle of operation.
- Market Scope: Analysis of the Total Addressable Market (TAM), prioritizing technologies applicable to a broad industrial base over those limited to niche markets.
- Economic Utility: The scoring weighs the potential for tangible financial benefits, specifically looking for mechanisms that drive cost reduction and yield enhancement.
Suncourt was chosen because of the following attributes of Patent # 12523387:
Precision Airflow Automation
Suncourt’s patented technology reimagines how register booster fans operate within residential HVAC systems. Designed to function without any manual programming, the technology monitors the temperature of air moving from ductwork. When the HVAC system cycles and a temperature rise or fall is detected, the booster fan responds automatically, activating and relieving backpressure in the underperforming duct run, drawing more conditioned air into the room only when it’s needed.
By eliminating complex setup and guesswork, the Flush Fit™ and Equalizer® EZ8 Register Boosters offer a true plug-and-play solution that works seamlessly with existing HVAC systems.
Comfort and Efficiency
Uneven temperatures are one of the most common challenges homeowners can face. This technology addresses this issue at its source by optimizing airflow distribution and in-turn working to balance temperatures. The result is a more consistent level of comfort throughout the home while reducing unnecessary strain on the HVAC system.
This means improved efficiency, greater comfort, and smarter energy use, all without increasing energy bills.
