While organizations lobbied Congress for an extension like the ones given to photovoltaic (PV) and solar thermal technologies, the U.S. House of Representatives chose not to extend the tax credits for the geothermal market.
This advanced and innovative pre-insulated HVAC ductwork system offers benefits, such as reduced installation time, low weight, space savings through flush-to-ceiling installation, increased performance, and energy efficiency. Ductwork fabricated from the Kingspan KoolDuct system can be installed indoors, outdoors, and concealed above false ceilings and below raised floors.
Schneider Electric, an energy management and automation specialist, announced the availability of its Clinical Environment Optimization solution. Delivered as an application for Schneider Electric’s StruxureWare™ Building Operation software, the solution integrates hospitals’ clinical infrastructure with its facility infrastructure to drive innovation at every level of the organization and deliver new opportunities for energy savings, staff productivity, and patient satisfaction.
Miura America Co., a designer and manufacturer of energy-efficient, eco–friendly industrial steam boilers, announced it has secured a $21 million investment to help improve operations and meet increasing demand. The company will close on a partial investment of $1 million this year and will close on the remaining $20 million over the next five years.
University of Alabama at Birmingham obtained an annual energy savings of $60,000 after Bernhard TME Engineering (TME) optimized the university’s district chilled water system. The chilled water is distributed to 48 buildings on campus to supply the air conditioning systems in the hot and humid southeastern U.S.
Bob and Tim have responded to a service request where the customer is explaining that their heat pump is running all the time. The indicator light on their thermostat is lit most of the time, indicating the strip heat is on as well. The weather is cold today but has been warm some days and cold some days.

This series features gears of high-strength, case-hardened alloy steel. The gearboxes are designed to fit into non-Marley cooling towers for easy replacement and have heavy-duty double-row interstage bearings for 100,000 hours of life or more.
At 96.5 percent AFUE, the Evergreen 399 from Weil-McLain is used for light commercial or large residential projects and offers simple controls, flexible functionality, and durable design.
The scale of energy consumption may be more of a surprise, though, as estimates show that data center spaces can consume up to 100-200 times as much electricity as standard office spaces. With that large amount of power being used by a growing number of data centers, the pressure is on to implement energy-efficient design measures that can save money and reduce electricity use.
This series of pressure-independent automatic balancing dampers regulate damper positioning and provide precise and automatic airflow in both supply and exhaust applications, which results in energy-saving performance that mitigates stack effect in high-rise buildings and improves comfort for building occupants.
