The Radiant Rollout™ mat from Uponor is a custom-designed, prefabricated, pre-pressurized network of the company’s cross-linked polyethylene (PEX-a) tubing deigned for faster, more consistent installations for large commercial radiant heating and cooling applications.
In this overview of building information modeling, the authors review how BIM helped in three different projects, often with particular usage- and efficiency-based HVAC demands. While BIM’s space management skills can reduce costly changeorders and building design “clashes” ahead of time, in at least one instance, using BIM actually influenced the HVAC strategy for the better, too. See how HGA Architects and Engineers has used this to become a “model” firm.
A lot has happened since the author’s 2008
article. It’s prime time to revisit expectations for BAS and chiller
optimization controls, and then have a look at several of today’s options for
anyone managing chilled water flow to wring the last drop of efficiency out of
a system.
Innovation has thrived in Philadelphia since Ben Franklin invented bifocals, the lightning rod, and the wood stove that bears his name more than two centuries ago. This tradition of innovation
Using a CO2 cooling system reduced this organic grocery store’s refrigerant use by 60% to 65% a year. Arizona-based Sprouts Farmers Market is not only a leader in natural and
Regulatory, competitive, and environmental
pressures are pushing data centers away from the traditional power sources.
Here, the author surveys the landscape and reviews one comparative study
involving CCP cogeneration and conventional electricity sources. Reducing the
carbon footprint and lessening reliance on a sometimes unreliable grid are just
two reasons to look into CCP.
