There's already a huge investment going on in replacing HVAC systems for energy reasons, so there's probably good hybrid approaches. I've had several people reach out before/after the pandemic with ideas in this space.

I've since forgotten the ideas, but my impression was that there were plenty of interesting ones. I remember public ideas of regulating where the heat/cooling goes, whole building systems that manage solar/waste heat, and similar.

Yes, massively so. (a) Regulatory side: make variable speed common. Right now MUCH more expensive (so AC manufacturer can upsell) and always tied to manufacturer's crappy thermostat, not generic (especially SMART) thermostats. 1/
