Whether a coil coating is necessary hinges on the environment: salty air, kitchen grease, or aggressive chemicals can turn unprotected HVAC/R coils into short-lived liabilities.
Q-PAC’s Multimotor Plenum Fan is now HCAI OSP-0875 certified, delivering a modular, code-compliant HVAC fan option engineered to stay operational during earthquakes.
The results of these operational changes are reflected in the City of Deadwood’s publicly approved maintenance contracts. City officials attributed the reductions to improved system condition and annual cost analysis rather than reduced service.
Cooling tower spillover during chiller rotation shows how thoughtful programming, sequence tweaks, and field fixes can tackle system instability in both winter and summer conditions
HVAC systems experience their most challenging moments during operational transitions – when systems first enable, modes shift, or equipment rotates or stages to meet demand. These brief windows often reveal instability that routine operation may hide.
HVAC mistakes are hidden risks that can derail data center projects and blow budgets. Augmented reality offers a new way to bring these challenges into view.
As building owners race to meet tough new climate rules, costly retrofits aren’t the only answer. District energy systems offer a streamlined, scalable approach to slashing emissions – all while minimizing disruption and protecting property value, ES NEWS' Guest Columnist Rob Thornton writes.
New heat-transfer system targets HVAC’s biggest inefficiencies, delivering up to 10x the performance without refrigerants, pumps, or significant energy input
A breakthrough HVAC innovation dramatically reduces energy consumption, eliminates refrigerants, and offers a sustainable solution for efficient building cooling and heating.
Bill McQuade, Vice President for Regulatory Affairs and Global Sustainability at Baltimore Aircoil Company (BAC) and ASHRAE's incoming President-Elect, discusses how innovative cooling technologies are reshaping the future of sustainable building operations.
I don’t know who coined the phrase, “High-Performance Building” (HPB) but, whoever that individual was, he or she probably would be surprised how these three words are used to define several categories today.
