The way we control the speed of fan motors or pump motors has tremendously changed in the past two decades with the introduction of variable-frequency drives (VFDs), aka variable-frequency controllers (VFCs).

Two projects on an educational campus show how much the technology and perception of heat pump hot water heaters have changed.

Performance-based design (PBD), as opposed to prescriptive design, enables building owners and operators to customize the building design based on long-term goals.

Propane-powered generators provide reliable, affordable energy with low emissions.

The ultimate goal of every heating and cooling installation is to provide the desired indoor climate at the lowest possible energy cost.

Software, such as hydraulic, computational fluid dynamics (CFD), and pipe stress models, are beneficial when designing a data center cooling system. 

In a post-pandemic world that’s also confronting a climate crisis, facility managers are faced with unprecedented challenges.

In the event a generator fails to start or enter an overload condition, steps must be taken to selectively reduce the emergency load.
