HVAC Design/Construction Process

RSS

This month, I want to address an issue which is as old as building systems commissioning itself. It was one of the first challenges commissioning professionals endeavored to resolve in order to more effectively and efficiently facilitate the commissioning process … and yet it still lingers. 

A master checklist can keep occupants safe and healthy.  

School, warehouse, office building … the boiler stories they tell put the focus back on specific circumstances and smart pre-design study to ensure their systems (and budgets) enjoy the best of times for as long as possible.

Building codes and designs should also keep four-legged collegues healthy and happy.  

Unfortunately, the potential threats to building occupants are varied and increasing. To adapt properly, let’s look at the culture change needed in the design process. Commissioning, recommissioning, and preventive maintenance are further pieces of a strategy to assure ongoing safety.

With a move-in date looming, which systems can wait and which can’t?

What will building controls look like in 30 years?

For a building program to be successful and sustainable, it must include an operating budget as well as a construction budget.

Designed with the needs of building owners and their specifying engineers in mind, Cambridge Engineering has introduced a new line of Blow-Thru® Direct Gas-Fired Space Heaters to heat smaller commercial and industrial facilities.

When it comes to end-of-project commissioning, perfection may not be a practical goal.
