Daikin UK and Integrated Environmental Solutions (IES) have introduced a new specification tool that allows consultants to accurately calculate the efficiency of climate control systems during the design phase. The Daikin VRV Systems Plug-in offers previously unattainable advanced modeling capability for heat pump and heat recovery VRV systems
As the industry leader in energy efficiency, Daikin's heat recovery Variable Refrigerant Volume (VRV) systems can reach some of the highest efficiency levels (more than 10), providing a substantial step towards the objective of zero heat rejection.
The software lowers the risk of over-specification and aids in cost control by enabling architects and engineers to precisely estimate a system's efficiency in situ from the beginning of a project. This helps to ensure that systems meet today's strict energy efficiency legislation and Building Regulations. As simulation accuracy increases, it is frequently discovered that systems operate far more efficiently than those estimated by the National Calculation Method. This implies that systems can be customized to fit the needs of a building, comply with legal requirements, and possibly result in cost savings.
