Sector of application: Commercial
Funding from: Public

The objective was to provide heating and cooling for lecture rooms and food technology laboratory rooms. Panasonic ECO-i air-to-air heat pumps were used for heating and air conditioning in teaching rooms, laboratory rooms and common areas. Fresh-air preheating is provided through cooperation between ventilation airhandling units and Panasonic condensing units. An additional user benefit is improved air quality provided by nanoe™ X generators in the VRF indoor units.

The project provides year-round heating and cooling with precise zone control, improving thermal comfort in lecture rooms, laboratories and common areas. The high-efficiency VRF system helps reduce energy consumption, operating costs and CO₂ emissions, while nanoe™ X technology supports improved indoor air quality. The system also enables efficient integration with ventilation and central building management systems

This project stands out for its scale and complexity: a 1.2 MW Panasonic VRF system provides heating and cooling across a large university campus, while integrating ventilation, BMS control and nanoe™ X air-quality technology. It demonstrates how one intelligent HVAC solution can deliver comfort, energy efficiency and improved indoor air quality across diverse educational and laboratory spaces.
