Engineers, contractors, and facilities managers know a building’s HVAC system is a critical component for the comfort and safety of a building’s occupants and high tech equipment. When it comes time to replace or upgrade an existing commercial HVAC system, or your project involves new construction, a multi VRF system should be one of your top considerations. But which multi VRF system is best for your project? Let’s take a look.
According to a General Services Administration (GSA) study, you will bet the most ban for your buck if your building is between 10,000 and 80.000 sq. ft. Smaller than that, and your facility could probably use a more conventional system, but with some companies, you have the option of installing a mini VRF system. Larger than that, and the initial cost of installation would be higher, as you might need more than one multi VRF system installed.

A Bit About VRF HVAC Technology
You may have heard just a bit about VRF HVAC technology — enough to pique your interest. The technology was first introduced in Japan, in the 1980s. VRF technology is the go-to HVAC system in commercial applications in Japan, China, and Europe. In the United States, it is gaining in popularity as people discover the many benefits.
In a nutshell, a VRF system with heat exchange is a ductless HVAC system with one or more outdoor compressors that link to a number of indoor evaporator coil units. They are connected by refrigerant piping and electrical wiring. What makes a VRF system unique and ideal for many commercial applications is its ability to simultaneously heat and cool different parts of your building. Not every building needs this, but this feature is crucial for other locations such as:
- Hospitals
- Hotels
- Apartment buildings
- Schools
- Office buildings
- Restaurants
- Large retail spaces
- Any building that needs the ability to heat and cool different areas at the same time
Let’s take a look at a hospital, for example. Each fan coil unit has its own set of controls, so the temperature can be set to 65℉ in a hospital’s data center, but 77℉ in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). The temperature may also be set differently in the lobby than in patient rooms. While each fan coil unit has its own VRF programmable controller (thermostat), a multi VRF system may also come with a central controller that someone in facilities management can use to make sure temperatures are where they should be.
