Though only currently utilized by a small segment of the U.S. HVAC market, mini-split units are on the rise. One benefit of mini splits is they can be installed in rooms or buildings that have little or no ductwork. Many HVAC IAQ products, however, are placed in or make use of ductwork, and do not easily lend themselves to ductless applications.
The NEWS’ 2013 Ventilation category winner, the PHI Product for High Wall Mini Splits by RGF Environmental Group Inc., is designed specifically for mini-split applications.
