HVAC systems are the primary energy consumers in commercial buildings. Improving the performance of your HVAC system not only saves energy, but can have a positive impact on your building occupants´ health, comfort, and productivity as well.

<sup>1</sup> -- Water Source (typically boiler/cooling tower applications); Groundwater Source (typically open loop groundwater system);
Ground Source (typically earth or pond coupled); VRF – Variable Refrigerant Flow<br><br>
<sup>2</sup> -- Table implies new matched indoor and outdoor components. If different, contact your electric utility<br><br>
<sup>3a</sup> -- Unless noted otherwise, all cooling ratings are EERs, and all heating ratings are C.O.P.s. VRF ratings are for nonducted
equipment, however, actual installed configuration may be ducted, non-ducted, or mixed.<br><br>
<sup>3b</sup> -- Equipment efficiencies are full load ratings (except for VRF and IEER rated equipment) according to test procedures and
conditions specified in ASHRAE Standard 90.1 – Energy Standard for Buildings Except Low-Rise Residential Buildings,
and the following standards as applicable: AHRI/ISO 13256-1 – Water-to-Air and Brine-to-Air Heat Pumps, AHRI/ISO
13256-2 – Water-to-Water and Brine-to-Water Heat Pumps, and ANSI/AHRI Standard 1230 – Performance Rating of
Variable Refrigerant Flow Multi-Split Air-Conditioning and Heat Pump Equipment.
