INDIANAPOLIS — Rheem has announced the opening of a new research and development facility focused on developing integrated solutions for the company’s heating, cooling, water heating, and pool/spa heating product lines. Located just north of Indianapolis, the lab is the latest addition to Rheem’s Advanced Technology Integration (ATI) organization.
The ATI organization was created in October 2010 with a mission to facilitate and lead the development and implementation of advanced technologies and systems solutions across the company’s product divisions, noted Rheem. More specifically, the team is developing new, hybrid solutions that further integrate HVAC and water heating to help homes and businesses reduce energy consumption while increasing comfort. The ATI laboratory in Indiana is the newest addition to the existing labs in Alabama, Arkansas, and Mexico, and significantly expands the electronic controls development and testing capabilities of the organization.
