Industrial HVAC Design Trends: Zoning, Free Cooling & Sustainability

Sustainability isn’t just a buzzword—it’s an operational priority. Today’s industrial HVAC systems are being designed for smarter zoning, lower emissions, and maximum use of natural resources.

Key Trends in 2025:

  • Zoning for Productivity: Separating high-load and low-load areas improves comfort and reduces waste.
  • Free Cooling: Using outside air to cool interiors when ambient temps permit.
  • Low-GWP Refrigerants: Phase-out of HFCs in favor of environmentally friendly options.
  • Demand-Based Ventilation: Adjusts airflow based on occupancy sensors.
  • Modular Systems: Scalable HVAC components for future-proofing facility growth.
