Explore how hospitals and other critical facilities must rethink emergency power and resilience strategies as extreme weather and grid stresses create increasingly complex and challenges.
This article explores how large facilities are using alternative cooling tower treatment strategies, like advanced oxidation processes (AOP), to reduce water use and operational costs without sacrificing uptime.
ES NEWS Guest columnist Trevor Vick examines how the lack of reliable, continuous records is hindering building decarbonization efforts and compliance with emerging performance standards.
The choice of duct liner materials in HVAC systems can significantly affect fire safety by impacting smoke development and spread, writes ES NEWS Guest Columnist David Burd of Owens Corning.
ASHRAE Standard 183 is now embedded in energy codes across most U.S. jurisdictions, and many engineering teams don't know their current load calculation workflows may not meet it.
