For years, architects have benefited from having readily available manufacturer content at their fingertips. Now it’s time for MEP engineers to start experiencing the same benefits, especially when it comes to designing with crosslinked polyethylene pipe.
For those who design in BIM/CAD, manufacturer-provided content is widely viewed as being superior to generic, out-of-the box content when planning and designing a project.
Two Roads Brewing Company in Stratford, CT, was looking to expand its fast-growing brewery and needed the expertise of an HVACR manufacturer to assist them.
The town of Portsmouth, RI, had four schools (two elementary schools, one middle school, and one high school) with outdated, inefficient gas-fired hot water boilers that were becoming expensive to maintain and operate.
Budget woes. Equipment that has outlived its effectiveness. Unorthodox original decisions and little space to maneuver. The layers are many, but as this project shows, the solutions are there.

Famous mathematician Edward Lorenz coined the phrase “The Butterfly Effect,” which is the belief that some small occurrence could create devastating results in another location far away.
Warm discharge plumes sweeping back into air-cooled condensers is nobody’s idea of an ideal performance environment. This CFD study shows how wind speed, wind direction, spacing between chillers, and separation from adjacent buildings all factor into the conversation about the best defense against unwanted hot air.
