Johnson Controls, the globally renowned company for smart, healthy, and sustainable building solutions, has expanded its line of Premium commercial rooftop units, which are now available in 25-80 tons variants.
Premier platform units
The Johnson Controls Premier platform units provide building owners with state-of-the-art efficiency levels that significantly reduce operational costs over the life of the unit, while ensuring indoor air quality (IAQ) is maximized through optional features, such as ultraviolet (UV) lights, humidifiers, and final filters.
“We have engineered the Premier platform to be as dynamic as the complex projects our customers manage,” said Philip Smyth, Executive Director for Commercial Product Management at Johnson Controls.
Integrating future-ready technologies
The systems offer the highest standard efficiencies in their class, which is the key to lowering life cycle costs"
Philip Smyth adds, “Future-ready technologies are integrated at every turn, from optional bacteria and virus fighting ultraviolet lights to airflow measurement stations that reduce maintenance and improve serviceability. In addition, the systems offer the highest standard efficiencies in their class, which is the key to lowering life cycle costs.”
The Premier platform meets aggressive Department of Energy 2023 energy efficiency standards. Offered in standard efficiency (up to 10.9 EER/15.8 IEER), high capacity or high efficiency (up to 11.4 EER/16.9 IEER), Premier units can provide up to 50 percent greater efficiency at part-load than is required, depending on the standard.
Standard double-wall foam panels
Standard double-wall foam panels offer improved thermal efficiency while modulating options, such as compressors, an energy recovery wheel, and gas or electric heat, further improve efficiency, providing quality comfort.
To simplify system configuration and minimize start-up time, the units feature start-up wizards, a 5.5-inch OLED display, and an optimized numeric keypad, which are standard on all units.
RTUToolkit app
Customers can upgrade to the new optional high-end graphical user interface, which features a full-color touchscreen that provides quick access to system status, performance metrics, and schedule parameters.
Start-up is further simplified with Johnson Controls’ new RTUToolkit app for Android and iOS devices. With the RTUToolkit app, contractors simply scan a unique QR code on each rooftop, which enables on-demand access to unit-specific details, technical literature, and direct connection to technical support.
Integrated system selection tools
Premier rooftop units streamline the design process with integrated system selection tools
Premier rooftop units streamline the design process with integrated system selection tools, easily accessible building information modeling files, improved submittals, and simplified specification.
The high-performance base models offer a complete range of factory options, including various airflow path configurations, indoor environmental quality options, and modulating options for improved comfort.
Integration with building controls systems
Maintenance is also simplified with service-friendly features, such as an optional Mobile Access Portal gateway that offers remote monitoring for ease of connection while at the jobsite, allowing technicians to interface with units, without getting out of the truck.
In addition, the Smart Equipment-enabled units provide seamless integration with major building controls systems, including Verasys, and with OpenBlue, a dynamic connected platform for smart, healthy, and sustainable building solutions from Johnson Controls.
Industry-renowned warranties
Premier units are backed by industry-renowned warranties, offering greater peace of mind. A one-year parts warranty is standard on all Premier units, along with either six months or one-year promotional labor warranty (vs. the industry standard, 30-day labor warranty), when started by a certified contractor.
