What are next gen rooftop units?
Next gen rooftop units (RTUs) are packaged heating and cooling units that use energy efficient technology to effectively heat and cool a commercial space, reducing energy consumption and emissions.
Dual fuel heat pump technology and energy recovery ventilators (ERVs) are the primary technology focus for developing the next gen RTU. Dual fuel heat pump RTUs use air source heat pumps as a primary heating source and a gas furnace for backup heat for cold climate use. ERVs recover heat and energy that would otherwise be lost to ventilation air by transferring the energy from exhaust air to incoming outdoor air. These units are designed to serve buildings that use 25-tons of heating and cooling.
Solutions for your building’s needs
Dual fuel heat pump RTUs and ERVs work together or separately to help maximize efficiency, savings, and energy.
Is your space right for next gen RTUs?
- Next Gen RTUs are a great fit for replacements or new construction using RTUs for heating and cooling.
- Next Gen RTUs do not require electrical utility upgrades, and can often be installed without structural upgrades.
- Dual fuel heat pump RTUs provide energy efficiency without increasing energy bills or compromising comfort.
- ERVs show bill savings with any amount of ventilation, but the higher the ventilation, the more ERVs can save energy and money.
