Smaller HVAC Systems: Big Benefits for New and Remodel Projects

Are you planning a new construction project or a remodel? One key consideration often overlooked is the size and efficiency of your HVAC system. At Griffin EnerG, we understand the advantages of smaller, high-efficiency HVAC solutions, particularly when it comes to sustainable building practices. Reducing the physical footprint of your heating and cooling equipment can lead to significant cost savings, improved energy efficiency, and greater design flexibility.

Why Choose a Smaller HVAC System?

Benefits of Smaller HVAC Systems

  • Reduced Operational Carbon: Reduce emissions produced by your structure.
  • Space Savings: Reclaim valuable square footage in your home or business.
  • Energy Efficiency: Lower energy bills and a reduced carbon footprint.
  • Cost Savings: Reduced installation and maintenance costs.
  • Design Flexibility: Greater freedom in building design and layout.
  • Environmental Impact: Smaller footprint and reduced energy consumption.


This aligns perfectly with the goals of sustainable architecture, minimizing environmental impact while maximizing occupant comfort.

Certifications and Smaller HVAC Systems

Many green building certifications recognize and incentivize the use of high-efficiency, appropriately sized HVAC systems. For example:

  • LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design): LEED certification awards points for optimizing energy performance, which includes using efficient HVAC systems. Smaller, high-efficiency units can contribute significantly to achieving these points.
  • Energy Star: Energy Star-certified buildings must meet strict energy efficiency standards, often requiring high-efficiency HVAC equipment.
  • Green Globes: A structure awarded Green Globes certification meets strict sustainability standards for improved building operations.
  • Enterprise Green Communities: The criteria for an Enterprise community ensure a multi-family building is efficient without compromising affordability.


By choosing a smaller, high-efficiency HVAC system, you can position your project for success in achieving these valuable certifications, demonstrating your commitment to sustainability.
