Conditioned Fresh Air & True Humidity Control.

Optional FreshAire system brings in up to 130 CFM of conditioned, MERV 8-filtered outside air and helps in achieving ASHRAE 62.1–2013 for commercial buildings. VRP reduces cost and complexity associated with dedicated outside air systems.

In addition, the VRP can be ordered with an optional Re-heat coil to augment dehumidification and prevent over-cooling of the occupied space.

M1 Efficiency Changes 

The DOE energy efficiency increases impacts newly manufactured residential and commercial equipment and went into effect on January 1, 2023. For equipment manufactured after January 1, 2023, not only are the minimum standards changing but a new test procedure will be required. This new test method is commonly referred to as Appendix M1, replacing Appendix M in the Code of Federal Regulations. For decades, we’ve used the classic metrics of SEER, EER and HSPF. Going forward, you’ll hear these metrics referred to as SEER2, EER2 and HSPF2.

Is a direct drop-in for Vert-i-pak replacements. Price point is much lower than other members of the already cost-competitive VRP product family.
