A low GWP refrigerant is defined by its global warming potential (GWP); a measure of how much heat a refrigerant traps in the atmosphere compared to carbon dioxide. Traditional refrigerants, particularly HFCs, have been widely used in commercial HVAC systems but are also considered potent greenhouse gases due to their high GWP. As concerns around […]

Managing HVAC for apartment complexes, especially in high-rise residential buildings, requires a very different approach than single-family or small commercial properties. Instead of optimizing a single HVAC system, property owners and property managers must ensure consistent performance across dozens or even hundreds of units, each with unique cooling and heating needs. Why HVAC Is More […]
A major energy efficiency milestone has been reached in New York City, as the NYC Department of Citywide Administrative Services (DCAS) and the Museum of the Moving Image (MoMI) announced the completion of a multi-year infrastructure upgrade program totaling more than $7.5 million. At the center of the latest phase is a $2.7 million HVAC […]

As the world seeks to address climate concerns and accelerate decarbonization across the built environment, HVAC electrification has become a central strategy for commercial buildings. Electrification refers to the transition away from combustion-based heating systems that rely on fossil fuel sources such as natural gas and instead move toward electric heat solutions. For facility leaders […]
