Proposed Session Description
Our session will shed light on the central importance of Variable Refrigerant Flow System's innovative technology and how it can address key challenges within the context of climate resilience. Our presentation will center around the Central Moravian Church Project. The Moravian's, recognizing the potential harm to the environment from the pandemic and climate change, have embarked on a journey to improve their facility by preparing to install a Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) system.
Learning Objectives
We will answer the question of why VRF systems are important in the current climate. By examining this technology, we address the problem of efficiently combating climate change in the built environment.
Our session will discuss the growing movement in policy to mandate sustainability changes, with a focus on VRF systems. This addresses the challenge of regulating not only new buildings but also implementing changes in existing structures to optimize energy usage.
We will explore how VRF systems contribute to the health and comfort of building occupants, addressing the critical issue of ensuring that the built environment caters to the well-being of its users.
Our presentation will delve into the broader environmental impact of VRF systems, considering their role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and combating climate change.
