The Retrofit That Made Things Worse

Induction units were already not winning any efficiency awards. Then came the BAS upgrades — and two mistakes that made a flawed system perform even worse. We found them in the field. This is what we saw.

Questions?
Induction units provide heating and cooling for offices in many commercial buildings. This video explains how these systems operate and highlights two major BAS retrofit errors that we have encountered in the field. While these issues can significantly impact performance, the original induction unit design is also inherently energy inefficient. That broader design issue, along with practical methods for improving efficiency, will be addressed in a separate video.
