Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC)
HVAC systems play a critical role in building comfort, indoor air quality, and energy performance. Upgrading HVAC equipment in rental housing can improve tenant comfort, reduce operating costs, and support long-term building decarbonization goals. Retrofit opportunities may include heating and cooling upgrades, improved ventilation systems, and energy recovery technologies.
Heat pumps provide efficient heating and cooling in one system by transferring heat between indoor and outdoor spaces. They can significantly reduce energy use compared to traditional electric or gas heating systems while improving tenant comfort year-round.
Heat Recovery Ventilation (HRV) systems improve indoor air quality by exchanging stale indoor air with fresh outdoor air while recovering heat from outgoing air. This helps maintain comfortable indoor temperatures, improve ventilation, and reduce energy loss.
Make-up air (MUA) systems replace air removed by exhaust systems to maintain balanced air pressure and proper ventilation throughout a building. Properly designed systems can improve indoor comfort, support healthy air quality, and help HVAC systems operate more efficiently.
