Hydronic systems offer commercial building owners and industry professionals the opportunity to both take baby steps and long leaps toward achieving net zero carbon emissions.

This year, 72 cold climate packaged window heat pump units will be installed at NYCHA apartments to provide heating and cooling while reducing climate impacts.

Midea America has a contract for 20,000 window heat-pump units, and the startup Gradient Comfort has a contract for 10,000 units, to be installed at public housing in New York City as a way of providing residents with heating and cooling equipment that doesn't burn fossil fuels and reducing greenhouse gas emissions from those buildings.

To address the move toward heat pumps, ACCA has updated Manual S accordingly. Along with setting clear requirements, the revised standard expanded its guidance for variable-capacity equipment.

The METUS-SPAN product integration is intended to help homeowners eliminate dependence on fossil-fuel-reliant heating and cooling systems and conventional electrical panels.
