MEP designers need to re-examine energy wasteful DOAS
practices, which currently contribute to over-ventilation of occupied building space, and refocus on meaningful
decoupling of sensible and latent load control using dynamic outside air
management systems. Read more on the flexibility and possibility of the
author’s proposed solution in data centers, schools, and elsewhere.
From temperature differential’s effect on pumps over to an airside
design that covers all the bases for comfort and efficient
ventilation, the authors are combining preparation and innovation to
give Tuscaloosa’s new federal building a suitably exemplary
feel.
Software monitoring saved a San Diego pharmaceutical lab 45% in energy costs.The U.S. pharmaceutical industry consumes nearly $1 billion in energy annually. Lab facilities often have environmental and cleanroom requirements
This Rhode Island center of higher learning challenged an initial
benchmark and forged a vision of better energy management through an
upgraded campus-wide BAS. A design-bid approach, a five-point
scorecard for grading bids, and a full-time monitor for the new setup
were just three example of how process can drive performance in
educational and commercial settings alike.
