Should building owners prioritize modular energy-efficient HVAC systems when planning renovations?
Clivet has released its new Versatemp Floor and Versatemp Duct product lines, designed for multi-zone buildings with frequent, opposite heating and cooling demands. The systems feature integrated Wi-Fi and remote management capabilities via the Clivet Eye app.
Why it matters
These units were engineered to comply with F-Gas Regulation requirements for units under 50 kW, which mandate stricter global warming potential (GWP) limits. The system architecture allows heat captured during cooling modes to be recycled back into the water loop for use in heating, improving operational efficiency.
The Versatemp Floor units utilize R290 refrigerant with air flow capacities of 320 to 650 m³/h, while Versatemp Duct models use R454C and offer air flow ranges between 320 and 7000 m³/h.
The players
Clivet
Clivet is an international manufacturer specializing in high-efficiency heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems for commercial and residential applications.
The details
The units provide flexible control options, ranging from local user interfaces to remote management through the Clivet Eye smartphone application. By transferring dissipated heat to a water loop, the system can simultaneously meet different thermal requirements across multiple building zones.
Timeline
January 2027 marks the effective date for the first stage of the F-Gas Regulation.
Culture Shift
This release reflects the broader industry pivot toward sustainable, high-efficiency appliances driven by the EU F-Gas Regulation. Manufacturers are increasingly prioritizing low-GWP refrigerants to align with global environmental standards and long-term regulatory compliance.
Building owners and managers can expect improved energy reuse in multi-zone environments thanks to the system ability to recycle heat across water loops. The use of smartphone-integrated controls also streamlines maintenance and monitoring compared to traditional, manual thermostat systems.
The takeaway
The transition toward low-GWP refrigerants is becoming a requirement for new HVAC installations ahead of 2027 mandates. Property owners should prioritize equipment that supports remote connectivity to better track energy efficiency and heating performance over time.
