Unfortunately for indoor mushroom farmers, the very environmental conditions that produce bumper mushroom crops also promote mold growth in farm air conditioning systems,

The Buck Institute was driven to identify a mechanical system capacity that would optimize energy efficiency while minimizing overall consumption.

In which the design team realized they could pump irrigation water from the campus’ main distribution line at night to use for cooling during the day if they could figure out how to store thousands of gallons of water on the new building’s first floor -- a vertically small space. Piping strategy, CFD, and chilled beams fill out an innovative closing argument on behalf of this Utah law school.

When it comes to ductwork for VAV systems, could the shortest path to better air handling cost and efficiencies be round (or spiral)? Aided by static regain and streamlined installation, here’s the case for no more corners.

In today’s complex web of regulations, equipment and fuel options, and traditional threats to facility operations, it only makes sense to get up to speed on CHP.

A familiar financial concept could serve as an effective new tool to encourage proper project completion.

As energy codes evolve, efficient lighting systems will become more ‘need’ than ‘want.’

Your definition might well depend on your continent.

From support to semantics, the road to “plug and play” isn’t always smooth but the journey continues.
