Variable refrigerant flow has the potential to be a massive upgrade. Also known as VRF systems, they are advancements of conventional HVAC-based technologies. Why do we say that it is an upgrade? That’s because it is. It takes your building’s heating and cooling infrastructure to new levels. In the dead heat of summer, that extra element of performance can make a huge difference.
Increase Your Overall Energy Efficiency
The energy efficiency rating of your building can lead to better tax breaks. These benefits serve multiple purposes. In other words, they aren’t just an incentive tied to financial prosperity. You’ll also be doing your part to help the environment. When the VRF system is in play, your building becomes blocked off into zones. Since every room has different temperature needs, addressing those concerns calls for different levels of heating and cooling. Wasteful energy loss is an unforeseen consequence of poor energy efficiency. Don’t let that happen to you!
Deliver Individualized Zones of Comfort
Along those same lines, comfort zones tailored to each office represent a sea change. Suppose that your lone thermostat is placed in a common area, such as a hallway. When one employee feels like they are overheating in the winter or shivering through the summer, that doesn’t mean everyone else has to feel the same way.
Keep Your Entire Team Comfortable
VRF systems also ensure that everyone is comfortable at all times. As we discussed with the point above, every element of your team can keep cool in the sweltering heat. It’s bound to be close to one hundred degrees most every day, and it’s only the beginning of July! Even if temperatures cool down thanks to sunset or storms rolling through your neighborhood, you still need to take precautions and proactive measures. Heat exhaustion and heat stroke are no joke.
Make Use of More Sophisticated Smart Technology
The latest pieces of technology typically outperform their older counterparts. By making use of sophisticated smart devices, you’ll see some magnificent results. You can control all of the electronics inside your building remotely. Since apps are everywhere these days, you might as well put them to good use! Intelligent controls built into VRF models allow the system to keep track of how hot or cold each room is. After all, the server rooms are going to need to be kept cooler than laboratory spaces. When smart tech is used, adjustments will happen automatically based on previous user input and preferences.
Minimize Detrimental Downtime
Downtime can be a disaster. For one thing, it’ll affect your organization’s reputation. Whether you are a client-facing software provider or a small startup company struggling to make waves in a crowded field, you cannot afford any mishaps. While downtime can’t be eliminated, it can be minimized!
