VRV (Variable Refrigerant Volume, Daikin's brand for VRF) systems run one outdoor unit connected to many indoor units of mixed types — cassettes, ducted, wall-mounted — with independent per-zone control. The standard for offices and hotels above ~15 kW total load. Heat-recovery variants can heat one zone with the waste heat from cooling another, saving energy in mixed-use buildings.
Discover moreCuts roof and plant-space requirements dramatically — one 30 kW outdoor can serve 15+ zones.
In mixed-use buildings, waste heat from server rooms or south-facing offices heats north-facing meeting rooms — typical 25-40% seasonal energy saving.
Every indoor unit runs its own setpoint and schedule — no zone fighting the others.
Add indoor units later without changing the outdoor — the specifier's default for phased fit-outs.
Entry-point VRV for smaller multi-zone buildings under ~15 kW total.
Compact 3-phase VRV IV outdoor for small to mid-sized commercial buildings — drives up to nine indoor units across mixed types (cassette, ducted, wall-mounted). The step up from a multi-split when the project needs per-zone control, refrigerant piping over 30m, or BMS integration via DIII-Net.
Standard heat-pump VRV outdoor for offices, hotels and mixed commercial.
VRV IV heat-pump outdoor for buildings that need heating and cooling but not simultaneous zone-to-zone. Modular 8-54 HP range, VRT (variable refrigerant temperature) control for seasonal efficiency gains, DIII-Net BMS integration.
3-pipe heat-recovery VRV — heat one zone using waste heat from cooling another.
3-pipe VRV IV outdoor that lets the system heat and cool different zones simultaneously, recovering waste heat between them. Delivers typical 25-40% seasonal energy saving in mixed-use buildings (offices with server rooms, sun-side vs shade-side hotels, retail with cold storage).
Latest-generation R-32 heat-recovery VRV for new-build and BREEAM-scored projects.
VRV 5 3-pipe heat-recovery outdoor on R-32 refrigerant — lower GWP than R-410A, higher seasonal efficiency, and reduced footprint versus VRV IV. The specifier default for new-build commercial where F-Gas phase-down and embodied-carbon reporting matter.
