As the learning curve for VRF continues, it’s only fitting to see how it can fare in a familiar learning environment. Turns out it can play a key role in the critical lesson of adapting to existing spaces and occupancy needs when crafting the optimum retrofit design for a given client.
The advent of small-capacity, variable speed refrigerant compressors provide opportunities to design and install highly-efficient, controllable HVAC systems — making variable refrigerant flow (VRF) systems more commonplace within the industry. While they began with focused attention to the office and light commercial market, VRF systems can be applied to the institutional market.
