From tree forts to global standards, new ASHRAE president Bill McQuade is shaking up the HVAC world with a vision that puts human health and comfort front and center.
An evolving refrigerant landscape and advanced sealing materials are shaping the future of HVAC compressors amid regulatory, environmental, and efficiency demands
Written by Brett Hopkins of Trelleborg Sealing Solutions R&D, ES NEWS’ latest Case in Point examines how new refrigerants and elastomer technologies are impacting HVAC compressor design and reliability.
Air cleaners are either subtractive or additive. Subtractive devices, like fiber or carbon filters, physically remove particles or chemicals from the air. Additive devices release substances into the air to neutralize microbes or chemicals.
Examining more closely how a building’s sensible and latent loads can be more effectively met opens numerous design possibilities, ES NEWS guest contributors argue.
