Commercial Installations
Unico was designed with commercial heating and cooling installations in mind.
SDHV (Small-Duct High Velocity) for commercial air distribution systems is made up of very small ducts that deliver conditioned air into the room using small jets of air that actively mix the room air for even temperature in the work space.
It is smaller, quieter, and more comfortable than a conventional air distribution system.
Installation Benefits
- Air handlers range from 1 to 5 ton nominal cooling capacity and can be twinned for larger applications.
- The Unico HVAC equipment offers load diversification.
- Can have up to 20 independent heating and cooling zones.
- Can be utilized with Chillers, Cooling towers, Inverter condensers, Geo-Thermal, boilers, Solar, Electric heat.
- Multi-Air handler design allows for controlled efficiency of the building for optimal energy savings.
- Can be used with any building automation system.
Example of a Unico HVAC design in a building utilizing multiple air handlers to cool and heat a floor vs 20-ton commercial air handler.

Unico System’s “aspiration” delivery method allows streams of air to gently mix with existing room currents to keep the air moving efficiently and evenly much the same way a whirlpool jet mixes water. No hot and cold spots, no drafts, never more than a 2-degree F temperature variation from floor to ceiling.
The system is completely sealed, with no large registers to trap hair or dust, so the air in your commercial space will always be fresh and clean. The Unico System’s sound-dampening air handler and supply tubing ensure you will never hear the heating and cooling system, only feel its superior comfort.
The Unico System’s unique cooling method removes 30% more relative humidity from the air than traditional forced air systems. It draws, rather than pushes, air directly over the evaporator coils, creating colder temperatures than conventional systems. This means that even in the warmest, most humid months the air in your office space will be dryer, more comfortable.
Commercial Install Benefits
- Small ducts – adds cubic feet to office space, increases head room; eliminates or dramatically reduces the need for unused room between ceiling and next floor
- Unobtrusive outlets (can even be hidden)
- Quiet – only type of system that has a sound attenuator, which is further enhanced with soft-start/soft-stop function of The Unico System Green Series air handlers
- No drafts
- Even temperatures ceiling-to-floor, wall-to-wall
- Lower humidity while cooling
- Warm air heat pump
- Most Unico Systems are modular, which makes it easier to fit between steel joists
- Requires less labor to install than commercial conventional systems

GREEN SERIES AIR HANDLER
Green Series uses E.C. (Electronically Commutated) motor technology to save energy.
These air handlers are perfect for multiple zoning capabilities without by-pass dampers.
One air handler can accomodate:
- 2 zones on DX
- 6 zones on chilled water
S.M.A.R.T. Control Board
The S.M.A.R.T. (Software Managed Air Rate Technology) Control Board is the brains of our Green Series air handler which gives you the ability to:
Capabilities
- Manage both airflow and motor speed according to the needs of the thermostat and or zoning needs
- Enhanced soft start and soft stop
- Programmable via a laptop by ordinary USB cable
- Provides diagnostic feedback
- Programmable without laptop but are limited to 6 choice
E.C. MOTOR
The new Green Series E.C. motor is the heart of the our new air handler series.
Features
- A variable-speed fan motor that adjusts speed to provide a consistent flow of comfortable conditioned air with quiet operation
- At low speeds the new E.C. motor is up to two decibels quieter
- The new E.C. motor is 10% more energy efficient at full speed and 30 % more efficient at low speed
- Operates at 110 or 220V
- 50 or 60 Hz
- Integrates with S.M.A.R.T. Control Board
OUTLETS
Fire rated outlets designed for floor, ceiling, or wall applications where the supply outlets are located in a 1-hour or less F rated structure.
A variety of outlets available:
- Both 2” and 2.5” round outlets available in variety of different species of wood and white plastic outlets
- 6” slotted outlets available in both wood and plastic
AUnico manufactured supply duct is ICC-ES PMG listed and will pass inspection codes.
Unico knows that building automation needs require open system solutions that facilitate the integration of a variety of different building systems. We design our systems to enable communication and interaction between multiple types of building automation systems for optimized operation and maximum efficiency.
