Are you sharing statistics about the promising career of HVAC engineering? Or are you sharing stories about the projects and solutions you’ve been lucky enough to be a part of? The way you design your story and how you choose to share it can either leave people bored or inspired — you choose.

Conventional towers can get the cooling job done. But they usually won’t be as efficient and will often bring additional challenges.

New to the east side of Colorado Springs is UCHealth’s Eastview Medical Center, with three stories and 125,000 square feet of health care space. The third floor is where things get more interesting. This area is occupied by six operating rooms, where humidity and pressure are carefully controlled.

SPAR is comprised of woven, knit, or non-woven structures where nonconductive yarns combine with conductive yarns that serve as electrodes.  When a voltage is applied to these conducting yarns, a non-thermal plasma (NTP) is produced.

Since the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) in 2022, the building and design industry has been parsing out the legislation’s various tools and tax incentives that are newly available to building professionals who wish to apply strategic, high-performance planning to their projects. 

While many design requirements associated with current good manufacturing practice (cGMP) spaces are required by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), European Medicines Agency (EMA), and others, the engineer must be aware of several factors.

If we're designing for changes in conditions, like occupancy, use, public safety, etc., are we also accounting for the possible changes in temperature, weather patterns, and natural disasters — not the historical or average but the undocumented, yet to come?
