Energy-efficiency-as-a-service provider Budderfly entered into a high-volume contract with Carrier to deploy thousands of Carrier’s most efficient commercial packaged rooftop units to small and medium-sized businesses across America, primarily fast food, quick service and casual dining restaurants. This agreement will enable Budderfly’s customers to start saving and accelerate the reduction of their carbon emissions.
Budderfly has purchased more than 2,000 WeatherExpert ultra high-efficiency single-packaged rooftop HVAC units with Puron (R-410A) refrigerant from Carrier to be delivered in the second quarter of this year. This specific design is Carrier’s most efficient commercial packaged rooftop unit ever produced and boasts some of the industry’s highest integrated energy efficiency ratios (IEERs) available. The units exceed several high-efficiency benchmarks, including the Department of Energy’s Advanced RTU Challenge, the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) 90.1, Energy Star efficiency thresholds and Consortium for Energy Efficiency (CEE) criteria.
