Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) First Cost Comparison
This continuing education course compares and contrasts four HVAC systems against VRF system costs. Using a building scenario as the basis of the comparison, contractor costs for common installation components are compared. In addition, the building costs for each HVAC system type are reviewed and compared against a VRF baseline.
Learning objectives
Identify and describe Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) system technology
Use a building construction scenario to compare and contrast the strengths and weaknesses of HVAC mechanical systems and VRF
Differentiate the initial equipment contractor cost for installing a HVAC mechanical system and a VRF system
Review the architectural, structural, electrical, and total building costs of five types of HVAC systems
