This podcast summary makes a great point about machine learning still being early in HVAC but already showing real promise in efficiency and predictive maintenance. It reminded me of studying building systems while trying to wrap my head around data-driven controls during a packed semester. Around that time, balancing coursework and tech-heavy topics got overwhelming, and I remember half-joking about take my online exam just to breathe. It really shows how fast-evolving fields can challenge students and professionals alike.
