HVAC Design/Construction Process

RSS

Welcome to our post-show issue. We squeezed in a little AHR/ASHRAE content from Chicago last month thanks to a favorable schedule, but now that we’ve returned back home to unpack the suitcase and the virtual mountain of information, we can serve up some follow-up to the week in Chicago.

The smart way to take details, sequences, and checklists into the future today.

Change orders, especially late in the process, can create major headaches. But there are steps to ease the pain.

This month, we continue our discussion on simplifying system specifications.

Early? Late? Which works best? There are pros and cons for each.

Sheridan College invested $47.5 million in 2016 to construct a new, state-of-the-art learning facility dedicated to skilled trades at its Davis Campus in Brampton, Ontario.

Greater efficiencies, more connected products, and better sustainability — that is the future of HVACR products. But don’t take our word for it. Read what some of the 2018 AHR Expo Innovation Award winners had to say about the next phase of the industry.

Chaos and order, maybe even yin and yang … however you want to describe it, this year’s AHR and ASHRAE gathering reflected eternally opposing forces at work.

Last month, this column explored the best time to functionally test new systems. This month and next month, I want to back up and talk about the best time to prepare the functional performance test procedures (or “scripts” as some people call them).

Quite often, design engineers choose decentralized HVAC systems because of first-cost benefit, packaged equipment, simplicity of design, and the repetitiveness of the installation, to mention just a few of the features.
