Meeting developing building standards, codes and assuming best practices to support high-performance buildings, will require architects and engineers to collaborate holistically.
Meeting developing code requirements to reduce carbon emissions while creating environments with better IAQ will challenge and impact conventional building HVAC system designs.
Bypass pipes, accompanied by a three-way control valve, are often seen in hydronic systems at both served loads (e.g., reheat coils) as well as at primary equipment (e.g., cooling towers).
The system provides real-time alerts to building and operations managers, enabling corrective action before mold growth, significantly improving living conditions in military barracks and housing.
Fed up with spending substantial resources on the continuous repair of an aging cooling tower, a large North Carolina community college recently opted to replace its failing galvanized-metal unit with an engineered plastic model.
The novel Mojave product line cuts in half the energy required to provide buildings with fresh, cool and dry outdoor air, while using 20% less refrigerant than existing systems.
Excessive moisture is a common problem in commercial and residential buildings alike. It could be from a leaking roof, a burst pipe, a flash flood, or even poor ventilation.
