Research. Recognition. Recruitment. Retention. Those were the goals that the University of Texas at Dallas worked to achieve with the new Engineering & Computer Science, West Building.
Visitors at the Titus booth did more than just look at the products on display; they experienced them. Highlighting its advanced technology applications, the manufacturer took attendees on a trip through its new augmented reality (AR) platform. Built to interact with its virtual reality (VR) platform that was launched a few years ago, the new AR program allows users to experience Titus products by actually putting them in a finished application.
For those interested in energy-efficient buildings, chilled beam technology is rapidly gaining the attention here in the U.S. that it has long enjoyed elsewhere around the globe.
In the wake of its three-year-old high school’s nationally renowned sustainability design, Clark County Public Schools has improved upon its chilled beam energy-saving model with the recent HVAC retrofit of a 43-year-old school building.
Philadelphia’s 98,000-square-foot 2.0 University Place is proof that office buildings featuring high efficiency HVAC systems, superior indoor air quality (IAQ), and other sustainable features reap higher lease premiums, 100-percent occupancies, and ultimately attract real estate investment buyers.
As old induction units inevitably decline in efficiency, facility owners and managers are faced with critical decisions: upgrade to more modern induction units or embark on extensive, costly renovation projects to overhaul entire HVAC systems.
Sales of chilled beam systems have grown steadily over the past 10 years, with much of the growth occurring in government, health care, and educational buildings
Numerous types of radiant products were on display at the AHR Expo, including heating, cooling, and snow melt systems. And, exhibiting manufacturers were all focused on touting the energy efficiency, sustainability, and safety benefits of their products.
