Join MEEA for this free webinar on Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) Installation Best Practices, presented by Kevin Frost from Slipstream and Matthew Rash from Mitsubishi. We will cover critical pre-design and post-design application and installation considerations to maximize VRF project success and energy efficiency. Topics will include zoning/application, cold climate provision, expansion compensation, vibration isolation, water source critical consideration, wiring, system evacuation, charge and cleanliness to enhance longevity and minimize failure rates and costly life cycle repair/replacements. This webinar will count towards one (1) BOC Continuing Education Unit (CEU).

MEEA will be touching on a field study where they monitored 8 buildings with submetering equipment across 4 Upper Midwest states. Through this work, they also interviewed 60 stakeholders regarding VRF – this included manufacturers, distributors, engineers, installers and owners.

Since the webinar is geared to building operators and engineers – most of the presentation will be for Mitsubishi to share “installation best practices.” Their research identified lack of qualified workforce and installation barriers as a major hurdle for this technology.
