The new RBUs, which manage simultaneous heating and cooling in heat recovery systems, can serve between eight and 12 zones.

The product allows simple, low-cost evaluation of different use cases for wireless mesh IoT before investing significant time and budget.

The systems serve heating and cooling applications between 3- and 5-ton capacities, making them ideal for the residential and light commercial markets.

Building electrification — the removal of fossil fuel combustion equipment from existing buildings — is considered widely to be a critical strategy toward achieving a clean energy economy.

Available in four sizes from 24,000-48,000 Btu/h, the new systems feature all-aluminum indoor unit coils, high static pressure capability, indoor sound levels as low as 24 dBA, and adaptive fan motor control for optimum comfort.

Paul will lead the sales efforts of Fujitsu General America's Airstage VRF systems throughout North America by managing a team of sales engineers while establishing strategies for short and long-term initiatives to increase sales revenue and market share.

A VRF heat pump system combined with a high-efficiency ERV system was selected by a large property management company for its 71,000-square-foot headquarters in Tarrytown, New York, as an upgrade to its four existing 60-ton, multi-zone, natural gas-fired rooftop units.  

The announcement comes on the heels of an organizational restructuring that formally separates sales and marketing.

Through the development of various tools and resources, the Applications Center of Excellence will increase dealer confidence in selling Fujitsu solutions in various applications, both simple and complex.

Trautman moves into this role from his previous position as Fujitsu’s Regional sales manager in the south central region, and draws from extensive experience gained through numerous responsibilities with Johnson Controls, Carrier Enterprises, and Lennox Industries.
