Alyse Falconer, P.E., LEED AP BD+C, associate principal, Point Energy Innovations, discusses the influence her high school physics teacher had on her decision to pursue engineering, shares her reaction to being named one of ASHRAE’s New Faces of Engineering award winners, and more.
After years of chasing the attractive efficiency numbers offered by water-based evaporative systems, many data center providers are giving air-cooled chillers a second look.
It’s no secret that data centers require a lot of energy. The main driver of data center design engineers’ work is to provide energy-efficient, reliable, and cost-competitive HVAC systems.
Not only do smart buildings offer significantly more proactive decision-making and automation, they integrate cloud-based data analytic software, as well as advanced control strategies to boost energy savings and improve operations.
