NEEA is partnering with the Northeast Energy Efficiency Partnership (NEEP) on a DOE funded project that aims to validate infield performance of VRF systems which are operating in cold climates.

The project’s main objectives are:

A) To generate and assess high quality observed in-field data on variable refrigerant flow (VRF) regarding actual energy performance and refrigerant leakage.

B) To effectively communicate these results to key audiences that directly impact heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) technology selection in commercial institutional and multifamily buildings (i.e., building engineers, large commercial building developers, state/local housing agencies, municipalities, program administrators, etc.)
