HVACR
Heating,Ventilation, Air-Conditioning and Refrigeration
HVACR systems can play several roles to reduce the environmental
impact of buildings. The primary function of HVACR systems is to
provide healthy and comfortable interior conditions for
occupants.
Well-designed, efficient systems do this with minimal
non-renewable energy as well as low air and water pollutant
emissions.
HVAC is often used to refer to these styles of applications,
with the “R” for refrigeration not being used in many cases. HVACR
is also referred to as “climate control” as in many buildings the
primary function is to maintain and regulate the environmental
conditions.
Emerson and HVACR solutions
Emerson is the world leader in providing a vast array of
