How long does it take for condensation to form on an active chilled beam? A group of engineers at SmithGroup used testing and analysis to answer that question and more.
Chilled beams offer building owners greater energy efficiency, reduced building first cost, reduced day-two maintenance, and improved indoor air quality.
This month’s Facility File focuses on retrofitting a hospital’s patient floor with the addition of one fan-powered HEPA filter unit per patient room on a 30-patient room floor. The Facility File will focus on the B2B September test to improve the room air-purification environment and to trap particles that are 0.3 microns or larger.
MELIPC is designed to enable Internet of Things (IoT) on factory floors that have not been introduced to it yet, or improve it where it is already enabled.
If we added living tissue models to existing building monitoring systems, we could potentially save many years of human suffering, lost lives, and health care dollars.
This is my third column presenting a real-life example of how trend analysis, if done thoughtfully, can uncover wasted energy even when the system appears to be functioning well.
