BETHEL — Gould Academy recently provided a tour of its new Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) System in Holden Hall.
VRF is an HVAC heat pump technology, using refrigerant as the cooling and heating medium. By operating at varying speeds VRF units work only at the needed rate, allowing for significant energy savings. Individual indoor units can simultaneously heat or cool as required, either by generating or moving heat and cold from one space to another. This project will exceed a 60 percent energy reduction over traditional energy-efficient HVAC equipment.
