The Hydronics Industry Alliance released a report studying a VRF system and hydronic system installed in the same building. The report found the VRF system had higher energy consumption in three consecutive years of operation.
With a considerable volume of contradictory information in circulation regarding the application of different technologies for HVAC systems, this article seeks to explain some of the technical aspects of variable refrigerant flow (VRF) systems, and offer comparisons on the basis of cost and performance to more standard hydronic systems. While some of the material presented here are drawn from industry literature, the majority is drawn from peer-reviewed studies conducted by recognized industry professionals.

Working remotely, new safety protocols, and how remote monitoring can help HVAC system users.
As we work through complex and trying circumstances, with large portions of the population self-isolating and dependent on building mechanical systems for safety and comfort, the world of heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) has seen numerous instances of people extending themselves, beyond the ordinary, in the service of others.

Armstrong's Service
In recent days we are all thinking more about our health and the health of the people around us. Many of us are staying home more, heeding the advice on social distancing.
If it’s possible to safely take a walk or bike ride outside and get some fresh air, we probably should. Even if you are not a heating, cooling and ventilation professional, you’ve probably heard that people in many climates spend up to 95% of their time indoors, with or without social distancing. We also take into our lungs about 40 lbs. of air each day. These two facts alone should make indoor air quality (IAQ) an important health consideration.

Valuable collection
Data collection and communication by individual devices is a powerful weapon in the battle for energy efficiency. Energy Upgrade Leader at Armstrong Fluid Technology, Jason Cox, shows how pumps can lead the charge.
Pump technology can play a significant part in industry’s bid to rein in energy use. Through data analytics and automation, pumps can optimise efficiency by reacting swiftly to changes in demand. A vital design consideration that is key in this role is decentralised data collection – the collection of data from energy-using devices
themselves, rather than simply metering energy usage across a site.
