HVAC & Ventilation
- Choose by load and use: splits/VRF for offices up to ~100 TR, chilled water for large or process loads.
- Air-cooled chillers avoid water use; water-cooled chillers are more efficient but need a cooling tower and treatment.
- Ventilation only (no cooling) suits warehouses and workshops where heat gain is moderate.
- Specify inverter/VFD drives and high-IKW/TR efficiency chillers to cut running cost.
