Carrier Introduces First DOE-Validated 10-14 Ton Commercial Rooftop Unit

Carrier Global Corp. announced it is the first to complete the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Commercial Building HVAC Technology Challenge laboratory validation in the 10–14-ton rooftop heat pump category. The Carrier system met or exceeded all challenge requirements, including heating capacity and energy efficiency test standards — delivering 100% heating capacity at 5° F, exceeding 70% heating capacity at -10° F, and meeting or surpassing DOE’s commercial HVAC efficiency thresholds.

The DOE’s Commercial Building HVAC Technology Challenge is designed to accelerate the adoption of high-performance equipment that reduces energy use and operating costs while supporting grid reliability through lower demand. Carrier’s validated rooftop unit exceeded key efficiency and performance benchmarks in independent testing conducted by DOE, Oak Ridge National Laboratory and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory.
