Is your HVAC knowledge aligned with today’s smart building demands?

This episode explores variable refrigerant flow (VRF) systems and their growing role in building automation. As building complexity increases and energy efficiency becomes a priority, VRF systems offer a different approach that requires new skills and understanding from BAS professionals.

If you work in building automation, this conversation will help you see where the industry is heading and what it means for your work.

Topics covered:

  • Why VRF systems are gaining widespread adoption

  • How VRF components interact to enable precise zone control

  • Challenges with integration and proprietary communication protocols

  • When VRF is the right choice, and when it’s not

  • How AI and remote monitoring are shaping the future of HVAC

Don’t miss this opportunity to sharpen your edge in a changing BAS landscape.
