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.

Cleaver-Brooks announced on Friday that it has been acquired by Miura Co., Ltd., a global manufacturer of boilers headquartered in Japan.

The team performed highly detailed simulations of water flow around and inside the computer model of the skeleton of the Venus flower basket sponge.

Understanding the best solution for converting to a condensing vent system requires a primer in venting.

Boiler manufactures need to ensure that they are maximizing the value of this tax credit and should partner with a reputable provider to confirm their claim.

If a measured steam pressure falls below the setpoint, the PID increases the boiler firing rate, and conversely if the measured steam pressure rises higher than the setpoint, the PID will decrease the firing rate demand.

New to the east side of Colorado Springs is UCHealth’s Eastview Medical Center, with three stories and 125,000 square feet of health care space. The third floor is where things get more interesting. This area is occupied by six operating rooms, where humidity and pressure are carefully controlled.

For nearly a century, short-wave ultraviolet UVC energy—similar to sunlight—has been used to destroy airborne and surface-bound microbes.

Steam is the ideal medium for moving heat around, and nothing else comes close, writes Seven Taylor.

As the commercial water heating industry continues to focus on decarbonization, one of the most important considerations for engineers is a building's total energy usage and how different technologies can impact this number.
