Climate change is a modern-day priority for the international community and many municipalities are acting by creating initiatives to reduce building energy consumption and carbon emissions. Our presenters will discuss how Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) systems can be applied to reduce building energy use, discuss the potential and outcome of Phase 2 of a study by
Southern California Edison and Energy Solutions on demand response capabilities of VRF systems. Our speakers will also discuss the progress of several legislative initiatives to curb building related carbon emissions and discuss the barriers to electrify building heating systems.
