Designing a VRF plantroom with acoustic louvres

A performance-led approach to noise, airflow, footprint, and compliance Designing a VRF plantroom or rooftop condenser compound is rarely just a mechanical exercise. In residential and mixed-use projects, VRF outdoor units sit at the intersection of planning approval (DA) noise limits, tight rooftop footprints, and strict manufacturer airflow requirements tied to warranty. This is why acoustic louvres—rather than solid acoustic Read more…
