TULSA,
Okla., Nov. 15, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- AAON,
Inc. (NASDAQ: AAON) ("AAON" or the "Company"), a leader in
high-performance and energy-efficient HVAC solutions, is
reaffirming its commitment to the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE)
Better Buildings Commercial Building Heat Pump Technology
Challenge. As the DOE raises the stakes with new regulations, AAON
is rising to the challenge by leveraging strong partnerships with
Copeland, Oklahoma State University
(OSU), Montana State University and the
University of Maryland.
Copeland, a global leader in sustainable heating, cooling,
refrigeration and industrial solutions, has a long-standing
relationship of over 30 years with AAON. Copeland plays a pivotal
role in the DOE Challenge by providing advanced compressor
technology and engineering support. "Our partnership with AAON is
built on mutual respect and a shared vision for the future of
HVAC," said Mark Bills, vice
president and general manager of commercial HVAC at Copeland.
"Together, we are pushing the boundaries of what's possible as we
work on the DOE challenge. Our collaboration has never been
stronger."
Known for its expertise in thermal systems, OSU provides
critical research on the shifting regulatory climate, including low
global warming potential (GWP) refrigerants and heat pump system
components and technologies. Montana State
University also supports the Company's efforts in the heat
pump technology challenge by assisting with prototype development,
including fan blade design and fabrication, and barometric
performance testing on mechanical heating and cooling
equipment.
The University of Maryland
contributes to this collaborative effort by developing coil
technology and software programs that AAON utilizes in its Research
and Development department. These tools have been instrumental in
the development of AAON cold climate air-source heat pumps. Each
partnership allows AAON to integrate new findings into commercial
products faster, giving the company a competitive edge in the DOE
challenge.
"At AAON, we're not intimidated by the obstacles ahead," said
Kevin Teakell, senior manager of
government and industry affairs at AAON. "With the combined
strength of our research, development and the support from our
