As market demand for computing power increases (partly fueled by the virality of generative artificial intelligence), engineers are required to rethink data center design.

Building enclosures rely on heat and moisture control to avoid significant energy loss due to airflow leakage, which makes buildings less comfortable and more costly to maintain. This problem will likely be compounded by climate change.

Rule achieves President Biden's Federal Sustainability Plan goal of net-zero emissions from all federal buildings by 2045.  

The shift to electric PRVs is a result of the overall trend of digitally connecting all components to building automation systems for greater visibility and control and for lower energy consumption.  

From equipment failures to shortages of raw materials, any production downtime can result in major losses in revenue and market share.

Beyond their premiere 162,000-square-foot flagship data center in Staten Island, Telehouse America also offers colocation at their second New York City site in Manhattan as well as another site in Los Angeles, California.

Given the increasing expense of fuel and the transitioning of fuel types, LNG operators need more robust and reliable metering and measuring systems.

Video: Building managers are often asking contractors for three different bids: One all gas, another with electrical and resistive systems, and then option C: heat pumps.

Dan Rettig, senior product manager for heat pumps and sustainability at Lochinvar, sat down with ES Magazine for a podcast interview discussing mechanical room decarbonization and retrofits. Here is a transcribed and edited excerpt of the conversation.

Hydronic systems offer commercial building owners and industry professionals the opportunity to both take baby steps and long leaps toward achieving net zero carbon emissions.
