Heating and cooling systems account for 40% of the average commercial building’s energy use. To curb this, many commercial building owners, developers, and facility managers are turning to all-electric, all-climate variable refrigerant flow (VRF) heat pump systems. The VRF market is expanding rapidly, growing about 12% annually, which is twice the growth rate of conventional and unitary HVAC systems that grow around 6%.
The modularity of all-electric, all-climate VRF heat pump technology enables easy customization and zoning, allowing the system to be tailored to each area of a building and offering more personalized comfort while reducing energy usage. Also, unlike conventional fixed-capacity HVAC systems that rely on energy-draining on/off cycles, all-electric, all-climate VRF heat pump technology uses variable-speed compressors to precisely match output to demand − delivering the right amount of heating or cooling with minimal energy.
The benefits of outfitting buildings with all-electric, all-climate VRF solutions are numerous, but we’ve identified six that make the choice easy. Download the VRF 101 Tip Sheet to learn why it’s the right solution for your next project.
