nHeating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems are crucial for maintaining interior comfort and air quality in all types of buildings. However, they also rank among the highest energy users in the built environment. Traditional HVAC systems are evolving into intelligent, networked systems through the integration of Internet of Things (IoT) and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, as energy efficiency and sustainability become increasingly important across the globe. This review article presents a comprehensive analysis of how smart HVAC systems are being transformed by these technologies to enhance energy optimization. IoT enables real-time data acquisition through sensors that monitor temperature, humidity, occupancy, air quality, and equipment status. These devices facilitate seamless communication between components and provide building managers with remote access and control capabilities. When combined with AI algorithms, this sensor data becomes a powerful tool for decision-making and automation. AI applications such as machine learning, predictive analytics, and reinforcement learning allow HVAC systems to anticipate usage patterns, forecast thermal loads, and adjust settings dynamically for improved efficiency. The article also highlights the various energy-saving strategies enabled by smart HVAC systems, including predictive maintenance, zone-based conditioning, load forecasting, and integration with renewable energy sources. Real-world applications and case studies demonstrate significant reductions in energy consumption and operational costs across different building types. Despite the promising benefits, challenges related to data privacy, system interoperability, initial installation costs, and technical complexity remain prevalent. This review concludes by outlining future research directions, including the adoption of edge computing, federated learning, and digital twin technology to further enhance system intelligence and reliability. The convergence of IoT and AI in HVAC systems offers a sustainable path forward, with the potential to revolutionize climate control in buildings and contribute to broader energy conservation goals. Continued innovation and collaboration across disciplines will be key to realizing these opportunities.nn
