The ABC's of VRF System Design for K-12 Schools

September 01, 2021

As schools leverage the recent stimulus funding from the federal government to make needed infrastructure updates and improvements, it is important to consider how HVAC system design choices will impact end users now and in the future. Variable refrigerant flow technology not only provides industry-leading occupant comfort, but it electrifies and decarbonizes space heating and cooling and saves operating costs over the life of the system — making it a great solution for schools now and in the future.

Register to learn why schools are looking to VRF for HVAC solutions and what you need to know when designing for these spaces.
