Continuing Education

Use the following learning objectives to focus your study while reading this month’s Continuing Education article.

Learning Objectives - After reading this article, you will be able to:

  1. Why babies in one Lincoln, Nebraska, nursery are sleeping so soundly.
  2. Why so many engineers use VRF to earn LEED® points.
  3. What happens when a facility must guarantee its occupants’ comfort.
  4. Why VRF heating technology is here to stay.

Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) zoning technology offers personalized comfort and impressive energy efficiency. VRF has quickly gained a following in the U.S. — becoming a half-billion-dollar segment of the market in just over a decade — but it has faced usage limitations in colder regions of the country. In this free, hour-long webinar, speakers will discuss the recent technological developments that have answered these limitations.
