With cost reduction, sustainability enablement, increased comfort and performance benefits, VRF systems allow commercial buildings to gain a competitive advantage by reducing their carbon footprint and providing custom comfort to occupants.
Tough news is unsurprising this year when it comes to construction, but comments from VRF-related professionals point to some streaks of silver lining.
Variable refrigerant flow (VRF) systems were first introduced to the HVAC community in Japan in 1980 as a highly efficient heating and cooling option in multi-zone comfort applications.
From boilers to rooftop units to VRF systems, each technology offers a unique set of benefits sure to keep commercial customers — and their tenants — happy.
Johnson Controls Inc. (JCI) recently opened the doors to a 12,600-square-foot training facility devoted to increasing the industry’s awareness of VRF technology, equipment, and operation. The center, which officially opened in July, boasts a hands-on lab, two 25-person-capacity classrooms, audio/video conferencing capabilities, and a full curriculum to help HVAC contractors and sales professionals deliver quality VRF solutions.
