The high expense of decarbonizing mechanical rooms can be lessoned, says Dan Rettig, senior product manager for heat pumps and sustainability at Lochinvar
Video: Building managers are often asking contractors for three different bids: One all gas, another with electrical and resistive systems, and then option C: heat pumps.
Dan Rettig, senior product manager for heat pumps and sustainability at Lochinvar, sat down with ES Magazine for a podcast interview discussing mechanical room decarbonization and retrofits. Here is a transcribed and edited excerpt of the conversation.
Video: Electrode boilers give customers flexibility, save space, have low maintenance costs and in low water conditions, they have an inherently safer design
American Boiler Manufacturers Association-certified electrode boiler manufacturer Vapor Power International shares valuable insights about this technology.
Currently, fossil fuels have a tremendously strong position in the energy sector, while the trend for the future is clearly shifting toward sustainable solutions.
Traditionally, hospitals relied heavily on steam as their heat energy “lifeblood.” Steam was a critical medium to feed processes such as building heat, humidification, sterilization, domestic hot water, on-site laundry, labs, and kitchens.
This year, 72 cold climate packaged window heat pump units will be installed at NYCHA apartments to provide heating and cooling while reducing climate impacts.
Video: There is much more to the American Boiler Manufacturers Association than just boiler manufacturing. Here's what goes into the wider boiler system.
