Hail Guard Protection for Daikin HVAC System at School

A healthy environment at schools is vital to every community.  An elementary school in Tennesee, that educates 350 children each year, was getting hit with extensive hail damage to their HVAC system.  The school installed 52 Daikin mini-split units on their rooftop because of their ductless flexibility and state of the art technology for conditioning individual school rooms based on changing occupancy levels.  The units are energy efficient, have precise temperature control and they run quietly so students can better focus on their lessons.  Unfortunately the units are also the perfect target for hail storms to crush their delicate aluminum fins, blocking necessary air flow to the system.
