Switching from a central boiler system to individual heat pumps in an apartment building is a big upgrade for both efficiency and tenant comfort. By allowing individual temperature control, each unit can set its own preferred heating and cooling levels, which is a huge improvement over a centralized system that often provides uniform heating and cooling.
The use of Inaba Denko America’s updated Paircoil, rated under ASTM standards including E84, also speaks to enhanced safety and reliability. Paircoil is notable in the industry for its robust safety certifications. The ASTM E84 rating is specifically important for multi-residential buildings, as it indicates the material’s performance in flame spread and smoke development, key factors for compliance with building codes in many areas.
Since the coil tubing is essential for carrying refrigerant, using high-quality, fire-resistant materials is essential for minimizing potential hazards, especially within apartment buildings where close quarters living heightens fire safety concerns. Beyond safety, this upgrade to Paircoil likely means increased energy efficiency for each unit and less maintenance required over time compared to an older central boiler system.
This can be both a cost-saver and a value-adding feature for property managers or owners, as it may reduce utility bills and maintenance costs while also enhancing tenant satisfaction and retention.
