Smart HVAC Choices for Multifamily Housing

Modern multifamily buildings are becoming smaller and more airtight, increasing the need for compact, efficient HVAC systems that match each space’s heating and cooling requirements. Oversized equipment can short-cycle, leading to uneven temperatures and poor humidity control.  

In this FAQ, Daikin explains how inverter-based heat pumps address these challenges by using variable-speed compressors that gradually adjust capacity to maintain the desired temperature. Readers will learn: 

• How these energy-efficient HVAC systems adjust energy use to meet actual heating and cooling needs, support sustainability goals, and eliminate the need for backup heat in mild climates. 

• By operating for longer periods at lower capacity, inverter systems reduce temperature fluctuations and energy spikes while improving dehumidification. 

• The Daikin FIT, a 1-ton inverter-based heat pump system specifically developed for these spaces, offers easy installation, quiet operation, and energy efficiency.  

• How this HVAC solution for apartments uses low-global-warming-potential R-32 refrigerant and is compact enough for tight spaces such as balconies. These features make it suitable for both new construction and multifamily retrofits.
