Danfoss has named Jae Chon, director of strategic markets at Chesapeake Systems, as its 12th EnVisioneer of the Year for their work on retrofitting the Towson Courthouse in Towson, Maryland.
In a virtual press conference, Danfoss discussed several of its new technologies, as well as the challenges and opportunities the HVACR industry faces this year.
Small- to medium-sized buildings make up about 94% of all commercial buildings in the U.S., according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, yet only 13% of those buildings have a building automation system.
Consumer awareness and opinion of heat pumps are both improving, along with the technology. Manufacturers see a strong market ahead, although some challenges remain.
Computer software for HVAC contractors has expanded from a business management tool into a versatile asset that can also serve as a technician’s assistant, warehouse clerk, salesperson, and more.
Unico System, in conjunction with Ecoer, announced a corporate alliance at the recent AHR Expo that will offer an inverter heat pump optimized to pair with Unico’s small duct air handlers.
