Sanyo’s ECO-i VRF (variable refrigerant flow) heat pumps are all-in-one modular space conditioning systems providing ductless heating and cooling for multiple discrete zones in residential, commercial, and industrial applications. The units use non-ozone-depleting R410a refrigerant to provide from 3.2 to 20.7 tons cooling, and 3.6 to 23.2 tons heating, depending on model and configuration—some of which have a COP over 4.0 at full load (most heat pumps are between 2.0 and 3.0).

Electec’s voice/data modular zone cabling systems use low-smoke, zero-halogen (LSZH), heavy-metal free (RoHS compliant) components to create a permanent infrastructure with frequent connection bays that allow quick and easy routing reconfiguration. Buildup of abandoned cabling in walls and air-handling spaces, a common fire hazard, is prevented—which saves money, physical resources, and the liability of future cable removal (of particular value to building owners). Installed cost is comparable...
