AAON INNOVATION CENTER

Making tomorrow's HVAC innovation possible today.

Pushing industry boundaries with capabilities unmatched anywhere in the world.

This is the AAON Innovation Center — a 134,000 square foot research and development laboratory capable of measuring both acoustics and thermal performance.

Since opening in 2018 on our main campus in Tulsa, the Innovation Center has helped solidify AAON as the technological leader in high performance HVAC equipment. No other laboratory in the world can test thermal, airflow, and acoustical performances simultaneously at the capacity found within the AAON Innovation Center.

Testing in the AAON Innovation Center provides many benefits to customers.

These include verification of capacity and efficiency before equipment installation, verification of acoustical performance at actual application conditions, elimination of risk and costly job site modifications, and reduction of time at startup.
