Electrification and Inverter Technology: The Key to High-Performance Building
Between government regulations and evolving consumer preferences, it’s no surprise many industries are making a conscious effort to meet the increasing demand for eco-friendly products and sustainable solutions - the HVAC industry is no exception. There are two innovative core solutions propelling the industry closer to high-performance and net zero buildings: electrification and inverter technology. What is Electrification? Electrification refers to the shift from traditional fossil fuel equipment to electricity-fueled equipment. Electrification is a key component in sustainable building practices, offering increased energy efficiency and decreased carbon emissions. For example, electric heat pumps can operate at up to 500% efficiency as they move heat from one location to another, instead of simply generating heat directly, further driving down costs and consumption. What is Inverter Technology? Inverter technology allows HVAC systems to operate at higher efficiency... read more

Learn how to combat today’s design & build challenges with a high-performance building envelope
For decades, the perfect storm of challenges has been brewing throughout the construction industry, and this storm is now forcing all of us to consider how we design and build to best address today’s challenges. The storm includes a combination of construction material quality, cost instability, skilled labor shortages, increasing energy and building code requirements, the need for more resilient structures, rising utility costs, and a demand for healthy environments all combining at once in a market full of uncertainty. Builders, architects, engineers, and building owners must address these challenges – all while working to balance construction schedules, budgets, design flexibility, and occupant comfort. The good news is there is a solution that tackles each of these challenges – and also helps you create stronger and more energy efficient buildings.
