The MHI solution was selected due to cost efficiency and installation simplicity
High efficiency VRF air conditioning systems from MHI have helped to transform the learning experience for pupils with complex needs at a school in Yorkshire.
Keighley-based specialist air conditioning and refrigeration contractor Knight Engineers completed a successful phased installation to deliver heating and cooling for the refurbished classrooms and sports hall at Fairfield School in Batley.

The MHI solution, supplied by wholesaler HRP, was chosen based on value for money and installation simplicity, as the need to remain within budget was crucial.
Chris Govan, from MHI Technical, said: “Knight Engineers chose to use MHI air conditioning on this project for two compelling reasons: cost efficiency and installation simplicity. The solution not only met all financial requirements but also provided high-quality air conditioning, while the ease of installation minimised disruption and ensured a smooth, efficient process.’’
Heat recovery VRF
Three heat recovery VRF systems from the MHI KXZ range were designed and supplied by HRP, along with 24 indoor cassettes covering the specialist classroom areas plus three 10kW wall mounted MHI split systems in the sports hall.
The individual VRF system capacities are 56kW (connected to 9 cassettes), 50kW (again connected to 9 cassettes) and 33.5kW (supplying 6 cassettes), all operated via MHI’s SC-SL4-AE2 centralised touch screen controller.

The installation took place during three holiday periods throughout the school year to avoid any disruption to the curriculum.
Paddy Coleman, Operations Manager at Knight Engineers, said: “MHI provided the ideal balance of cost-effectiveness and ease of installation, making it the preferred choice for this school project.”
