Friedrich Air Conditioning Co.’s FreshAire PTAC has been named the 2021 Commercial Comfort Product of the Year in the IAQ and Ventilation category.
The 12,000-Btu heat pump FreshAire PTAC features active conditioned makeup air capabilities that allow engineers to decrease their reliance on whole building dedicated outdoor air systems (DOAS). The unit boasts conditioned, filtered MERV-8 outdoor air and a full suite of new FreshAire IAQ accessories, including FreshAire UV Germicidal UV-C light to kill mold, bacteria, and viruses to help further increase IAQ. These options work in separate and multiple combinations — depending on product configurations and specific IAQ needs — to address the essential aspects of how to deliver safer and cleaner indoor air.
