Fujitsu General America has introduced its Split Terminal Heat Pump (STHP) HVAC series for use in multifamily housing properties. The innovative inverter-driven heat pump offers a more energy-efficient, reliable and quieter alternative to conventional Packaged Terminal Air Conditioner and Packaged Terminal Heat Pump units. STHP units boast up to a 58 percent reduction in electricity costs because they reach the set temperature fast and maintain the desired temperature for a long period of time. They provide up to a 21.3 SEER rating. Suitable for extreme weather, the systems are effective even with outdoor temperatures as low as 5 F. The systems are supported by a 10-year parts warranty. Compatible with Fujitsu’s BACnet and Modbus gateways, STHP can be easily integrated into most centralized building management systems. Various remote-control options are available, including Fujitsu’s free FGLair app that enables remote operation via smartphone or tablet.
