Mitsubishi Electric VRF Technology
Now Eligible for Massachusetts Clean Energy Center Rebate
Program.
|
The
Massachusetts Clean Energy Center (MassCEC)
Clean Heating and Cooling programs now provide rebates for
the installation of pre-qualified Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF)
products in all building applications.
Mitsubishi Electric
US, Inc. Cooling & Heating Division (Mitsubishi Electric), a
leading manufacturer of Zoned Comfort Solutions™ and Variable
Refrigerant Flow (VRF) cooling and heating systems, has several
VRF systems that qualify as part of MassCEC’s
five-year, $30 million investment in clean heating
technologies throughout the Commonwealth.
VRF systems were recently added to the list of rebate-eligible
products due to their reputation for efficiency. Heating
accounts for around 30 percent of the greenhouse gas emissions
in Massachusetts, according to MassCEC.
"With this program, Massachusetts is once again leading the way
on innovation and clean technology," says Stephen Pike, CEO,
MassCEC. "By making this significant commitment to supporting
VRF technologies, the Commonwealth is taking a leadership
position on clean heating and cooling, building on other
nation-leading efforts in solar, energy storage and offshore
wind." The rebates offset the incremental costs associated with
upgrading to VRF from a traditional HVAC system or incorporating
VRF in new building projects.

VRF systems, such as
CITY MULTI® Air-source systems, save architects space and
building managers money while providing occupants reliable,
consistent temperature control and quiet operation. A MassCEC
qualified, pre-approved VRF project can earn a rebate between
$800/ton and $2,000/ton up to $250,000 depending on the project
type, the system’s heating capacity and the product’s heat-recovery
capability. “We want to give architects and engineers as much
flexibility as possible when it comes to specifying our systems for
their projects, whether it be through selecting the appropriate
outdoor unit or integrating a controls system,” says Eric Dubin,
senior director of utilities and performance construction,
Mitsubishi Electric US, Inc. Cooling & Heating Division.
“Massachusetts’ commitment to clean energy not only helps bring
education and awareness to specificers and installers about our
offering, but the VRF market as a whole.”
MassCEC’s Clean Heating and Cooling programs, funded in partnership
with the Massachusetts Department of Energy Resources, aim to
increase awareness of the practical, financial and environmental
benefits of clean heating products, while providing rebates to
individuals, businesses and developers who help Massachusetts reduce
carbon emissions and meet long-term energy goals. Mitsubishi
Electric will continue to work with MassCEC to provide clean heating
technology to the residents and building owners throughout the
state.
