PINE BROOK, N.J. — Fujitsu General America Inc., in partnership with the Institute for Market Transformation (IMT) and Ventacity Systems, is conducting demonstrations of building electrification using a new systems-based approach to commercial HVAC.

IMT has secured awards from NYSERDA in New York and ComEdison in Chicago, to complete up to 25 more demonstration sites to determine whether early results can be replicated in a wide variety of climates, building types, and sizes. If the potential shown in the early demonstrations holds up, it will allow rapid electrification without needing expensive additions to the electric grid.
