​Presentation Title:
Electrifying the Warehouse: High-Velocity Heat Pumps for Large-Volume Spaces​
Presentation Description:How do you condition a 300,000-square-foot warehouse using only electricity? It can be a massive engineering headache. Standard zoned equipment requires a fleet of units or miles of ductwork, killing the budget before the project begins. Factor in 30-foot ceilings, relentless dock door infiltration, and heated air stubbornly stratifying at the roof deck, and large-scale electrification quickly looks impractical. This presentation provides an easy option for designers by leveraging emerging industrial heat pump technology. New slim profile, high-velocity discharge, ductless heat pumps, can throw conditioned air over 300 feet - effectively serving up to 100,000 square feet with zero ductwork with a single unit.


What We'll Cover
  • The Regulatory Landscape: Why these projects are accelerating right now, driven by NYC Local Law 97, looming OSHA heat exposure rules, and the staggering hidden costs of worker turnover and lost productivity in unconditioned spaces.
  • The Equipment: A practical comparison of legacy air turnover units versus modern slim-profile designs, along with the specific constraints of retrofits versus new builds.
  • The Heat Pump Pivot: How to transition from cooling-only setups to integrated heat pump configurations that force air mixing, defeat stratification, and don't dump cold air.
  • The Proof: Real-world applications, installation strategies, and hard, measured performance data from completed retrofit projects

Board of Governors Meetings

The Chapter's Officers and Board of Governors meets at Westbury Manor at 5pm on the day of our main chapter meetings, the second Tuesday of September through June. All members are welcome to attend, whether it be to listen in on the meeting to stay abreast of what is going on within the chapter or to address the board.

We do ask that if you have a topic or subject you would like to discuss, that you please let a member of the board know so we can properly allocate time for you.
