Overview
In this presentation, Anthony will explore the next generation of air handling equipment and the technologies transforming the HVAC industry.
Attendees will learn how lightweight composite cabinet construction can significantly reduce equipment weight and associated structural building costs while providing exceptional corrosion resistance and an expected service life exceeding 30 years. The presentation will also highlight the hygienic benefits of composite materials, the advantages of non-metallic construction in demanding and corrosive environments, and sustainable equipment design principles.
Anthony will also discuss advancements in air-source and water-source (geothermal) heat pump technologies, high-efficiency EC fan systems, variable-speed compressors, and state-of-the-art controls. The presentation will demonstrate how these technologies can be integrated into modern air handling equipment to deliver greater energy efficiency, reliability, sustainability, and long-term value for today’s high-performance buildings.
