A.P. Construction, in collaboration with ENCON recently hosted a presentation on Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) Systems. The program was endorsed by AIA Connecticut (American Institute of Architects) for continuing education credits and was held at Ashforth’s owned and managed building, 3001 Stamford Square.
Guest presenters, Toby Giangrande, Commercial Construction Sales Manager of ENCON, and Chris Ouellette, Business Development Manager of Mitsubishi Electric Heating & Cooling, spoke in depth about Variable Refrigerant Flow Systems including the technologies, theories, and operations behind them.
Giangrande elaborated on how VRF systems can supply super-efficient heating and cooling solutions for a wide range of applications by increasing controllability, providing flexible and modular designs, and how minimizing the amount of ductwork required makes them a great option for upgrading mechanical systems in older-styled buildings.
Ouellette also spoke and expanded on how VRF systems play a role in decarbonization, how to consider ventilation designs when using a VRF system, and explained how ASHRAE 15 safety standards for refrigeration systems apply to VRF systems.
The event concluded with a Q&A with the presenters. Tom Walsh, EVP of A.P. Construction, moderated the presentation.
