In an era of rising utility costs and aging infrastructure, HVAC upgrades for schools and municipal buildings have become a critical strategy for reducing operating costs and improving indoor comfort. Schools and public facilities are under pressure to do more with less, and outdated HVAC systems are among the biggest energy consumers.
