This HVAC rooftop curb is specifically designed to address high vibration resulting from severe wind loads and seismic activity that occurs throughout the U.S. 

When you hear that your facility will be the target of an OSHA inspection, step back and examine the strengths and weaknesses of your safety program, and think about how you can focus the attention on the strengths. Although OSHA will come in looking for anything you’re doing wrong, you want to make sure they’re aware of all the things you’re doing right.

This plastic terminal box is designed for expediting the rough-in of linesets, condensate hoses, and electrical/communication cabling for wall-mounted mini-split and VRF evaporator installations.

This infrared tube heater is designed to meet requirements for heating compressed natural gas and liquefied natural gas (CNG/LNG)-fueled vehicle maintenance facilities in accordance with National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 30A 7.6.6. 

As the American market becomes more familiar with variable refrigerant flow (VRF) systems, it’s discovering firsthand the technology’s ability to deliver exceptional comfort with lower life cycle costs. Additionally, contractors are touting the ability to perform maintenance on systems individually, allowing them to fix a problem without disrupting the comfort delivered to the remainder of the facility.

The backdrop for the contests was the 52^nd SkillsUSA National Leadership and Skills Conference, where more than 15,000 people, including students, teachers, and business partners participated in the weeklong event.

The global VRF market is projected to reach approximately $9.65 billion by 2021, registering a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.8 percent between 2016 and 2021.

VRF systems can achieve up to 30 percent HVAC energy cost savings relative to minimally code-conventional-compliant systems or older inefficient systems across a range of building types, according to the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. In addition to energy savings, VRF systems offer flexibility, cost-effective installation, and greater comfort for end users.
