Daikin Applied makes “intelligent” change

USA: Daikin Applied has renamed its systems and controls businesses to reflect the move towards intelligent equipment.

Intelligent Solutions is the new business name for Systems and Controls within the Daikin Applied portfolio. In addition, Daikin Applied’s MicroTech Integrated Systems now becomes Intelligent Systems.

Both offerings in the Intelligent Solutions portfolio address unique HVAC management needs. Intelligent Equipment works at the HVAC unit level, giving customers with packaged rooftops and air cooled chillers unprecedented visibility into their HVAC unit performance. With Intelligent Systems working at the system level, customers who operate small-to-mid-sized buildings gain the power of intuitive and easy-to-use system controls without the cost of a full building automation system.
