The longevity and cost-saving features of today’s advanced HDPE “plastic” cooling towers tests the wisdom of choosing yesteryear’s conventional metal-clad models.

Hotel Milano Scala has recently installed a new Mitsubishi Electric filtration system. Fresh air entering the interior spaces is treated in four air handling units — three rated at 5,000 m³/h plus one at 10,000 m³/h for a total air treatment capacity of 25,000 m³/h — composed of a class G4 pre-filter and a class F9 final filter (the same ones used in hospitals to prevent contamination).

ERVs are an important ventilation strategy for eliminating up to 80 percent of the outdoor ventilation air moisture and energy loads for many types of applications.

Many homeowners aren’t aware of the danger that mold, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), particulates, allergens, and other biological contaminants pose inside their homes. Therefore, they don’t proactively search for a solution.

Campus physical plants that have become internets of things — requiring cloud-based management, machine learning, and visualization tools — could serve as more than unseen controllers of the classroom environment. They could be the classroom.

As the main campus for UBER’s autonomous vehicle research and development labs, the building presented a unique design challenge.  Vehicle testing garages sit side-by-side with state-of-the-art conference rooms and office space. This drove the need for zone control and specialized ventilation.

The new data center, located in Singapore, is Facebook’s fifteenth data center and the first engineered by the company in Asia.
