While hospitals race to adopt clinical technology, most still rely on mechanical infrastructure – like boilers and HVAC systems – that’s decades past its prime, quietly threatening patient safety and infection control.

On Demand As AI workloads and high-density computing push traditional cooling methods to their limits, the data center industry is accelerating the adoption of next-generation HVAC technologies.

In this session, we will cover how to design VRF systems for the U.S. market using new A2L refrigerants. These systems provide an advanced zoning solution by using inverter technology to deliver precise heating and cooling control across multiple zones and spaces.
