Earth Day

This Earth Day, Take a Look at What VRF Can Do For You VRF was introduced to the HVAC industry as a great way to provide energy-efficient zone control to a wide range of buildings. Simultaneous heating and cooling from a single outdoor unit continues to be its strength. The equipment’s versatility has allowed us […]

Energy Metering For VRF

Smart Controls = Efficiency Experience tells us that it is not good enough to design and build an energy-efficient project. Operating a property in an energy-efficient manner takes an equal amount of planning and effort. The LG Power Distribution Indicator (PDI)is one option that can help a building’s performance match or exceed building energy goals. […]

Modular Construction

A Modular Hotel Project in the Bay Area Chose VRF for its HVAC System Regional shortages in housing and hotel rooms are sure to benefit from the continued deployment of modular technology. Continued modular construction advances are demonstrating that this design and construction technique can deliver a very high-quality end product. Adding VRF to modular […]

Hydro Kit Upgrade

This project featured an LG Hydro Kit replacing a discontinued Daikin Altherma unit. The LG Hydro Kit is a refrigerant-to-water heat exchanger that acts like another indoor unit connected to condensers. DMG has successfully applied the hydro kits to both water source and air source heat pump and heat recovery systems over the past decade. […]

Out with the Old, In with the New

HVAC Rooftop Unit Replacement is too often a like-for-like operation. It seems like the right thing to do when you only look at the cost. Direct replacement might take advantage of similar utilities, maybe a common curb, possibly the same controller, or some other perceived advantage. But what if the owner was never happy with […]

Value Engineering

How Often Does Value Engineering Deliver on Its Promise? Value Engineering or VE means the HVAC systems have been simplified or streamlined to deliver results more efficiently without impacting design intent. This high-rise development in the South Bay delivers when it comes to the VE offered using LG Multi V S single-phase Heat Recovery. The […]
