Johnson Controls introduces high efficiency premier RTUs

Johnson Controls has expanded its YORK® Sun™ Premier commercial rooftop unit portfolio to include 90-150-ton units. These units are designed for office buildings, hospitals, and schools to reduce carbon emissions, drive sustainability, and reduce operational and maintenance costs.

Johnson Controls, a pioneer in smart, healthy, and sustainable buildings, announced the expansion of the award-winning YORK® Sun™ Premier commercial rooftop unit (RTU) portfolio with new 90–150-ton units. Designed for office buildings, hospitals, and schools, the Premier RTUs, reduce carbon emissions and drive sustainability while reducing operational and maintenance costs.

With a full portfolio ranging from 25 to 150 tonnes, the Premier RTUs satisfy the Department of Energy’s (DOE) 2023 energy efficiency regulations, and the majority of available tonnages achieve the demanding Consortium for Energy Efficiency (CEE) 2024 highest tier ratings. YORK® Sun™ Premier units, available in standard, high capacity, and high efficiency, can deliver up to 31 percent more efficiency at part-load than necessary, depending on the standard.

 “The expanded Premier line has been redesigned to deliver superior performance, efficiency, and long-term value to customers,” said Sophia Bellos, vice president of product development, Ducted Systems, Johnson Controls.

“Now available from 25 to 150 tons, this wide tonnage range allows Johnson Controls to provide contractors with unmatched flexibility to meet the needs of a wide variety of applications.”

Available in two tiers of efficiency per tonnage, YORK® Sun™ Premier RTUs meet both stringent Department of Energy (DOE) 2023 energy efficiency standards and the Consortium for Energy Efficiency (CEE) highest tier ratings. They combine variable-speed compressor options, variable-speed drive fan options, and low-GWP R-454B refrigerant with advanced airflow and heat transfer technologies to deliver a highly optimized system.

The feature-rich Premier systems maximise design flexibility by providing the broadest range of airflow features, such as multiple airflow routes and duct configuration options, to fulfil the needs of a wide range of applications and construction limitations. Airflow measuring stations, filthy filter gauges, filter pressure transducers, and suction, liquid, and discharge shutdown valves all help to reduce time spent on the roof.

Simultaneously, built-in redundancy of refrigeration circuits, variable frequency motors, and twinning algorithms increase dependability and uptime. They are Smart Equipment and can connect to building automation systems like Verasys™. YORK®, Johnson Controls®, and TempMaster® offer 90-150-ton Premier RTUs with a one-year parts guarantee and a six- or one-year earned labour warranty (as opposed to the industry-standard 30-day warranty).
