Designed to meet the needs of properties with diverse controls and efficiency demands, the LG MultiSITE suite offers a one-stop-shop for building automation by streamlining the installation and integration of LG VRF equipment and controls.

By eliminating the need to integrate with third-party solutions, the LG MultiSITE suite provides a single source solution to ease installation, management and maintenance for building owners, enabling them to seamlessly manage operations, while delivering the full benefits of VRF technology. For facility managers of small-to-medium buildings especially, LG MultiSITE offers an affordable alternative to complex installations and maintenance costs associated with the configuration of competitive systems from different manufacturers.

Supplying owners of small-to-medium sized building with the tools they need to make the best operational choices for their businesses and bottom lines, the expanded MultiSITE suite of solutions is composed of the LG MultiSITE Edge 10, NC8000 Network Controller and MS8250 VAV Room Controller.
