A rooftop unit (RTU) refers to a type of HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) system that is commonly used for commercial and industrial buildings. As the name suggests, it is installed on the roof of a building rather than being placed inside the building.
A rooftop unit is a self-contained system that combines multiple HVAC components into a single unit. It typically includes components such as heating and cooling equipment, ventilation fans, air filters, and sometimes even humidifiers or dehumidifiers. The unit is designed to provide heating, cooling, and ventilation for the entire building it serves.
The rooftop unit is connected to the building's ductwork system, allowing conditioned air to be distributed throughout the building via air vents or diffusers. It can be controlled through a thermostat or a building automation system, enabling the occupants to adjust the temperature and airflow as needed.
Rooftop units are popular for several reasons. First, they save valuable indoor space since they are located on the roof rather than inside the building. Second, they are typically easier to install and maintain since they are self-contained units that can be accessed easily. Finally, they allow for efficient use of space on the roof, where factors such as noise and maintenance activities are less likely to disturb building occupants.
Rooftop units come in various sizes and configurations to accommodate different building sizes and requirements. They are commonly found in commercial buildings such as offices, retail stores, restaurants, and schools, where they provide efficient and centralized heating, cooling, and ventilation solutions..
