Description:

With the ever-increasing environmental impacts of local pollution and global emissions, there is a necessity for resilient, flexible, and efficient HVAC systems. Unfortunately, while HVAC systems are critical to our comfort and well-being, conventional systems are costly to operate and contribute to more than 50% of total building energy usage in commercial buildings.
Dedicated outdoor air systems (DOAS) with decoupled heat pumps are a proven solution for reducing energy consumption since they optimize the control and functionality of ventilation and thermal comfort separately. When using very high efficiency heat recovery ventilation (>82 sensible recovery), inverter driven heat pumps, and thoughtful design decisions, this solution can work well in cold climates like 5B and 6B with design temperatures down to -15°F and below.
