Proper indoor air quality and adequate humidity levels are imperative to safe and efficient data center operations. Humidification in data centers is required to prevent electrostatic discharge, which can damage servers and network products, and offers the benefit of high capacity, low cost evaporative cooling.

The new Pecci Centre is innovative not only from an architectural point of view, but also in terms of its sustainable mechanical systems.
The lighting and air conditioning systems, which are the main energy expenditure in every kind of building, have been designed to offer the best internal comfort for the visitors of the centre, while guaranteeing minimal impact both on the running costs and on the environment.

 

RGF’s Reme Halo air purification unit and IMSB Ice Machine Sanitizer were tested for three months in multiple Chipotle locations. Impressive results that were independently verified and validated led to the decision to incorporate RGF technology into Chipotle’s entire customer safety strategy.  

Despite the availability of quality Wi-Fi enabled products from leading thermostat manufacturers, a mere 10 to 15 percent of residential and light commercial installations involve such models. The primary objection: a wholesale price point that is four to five times the cost of a traditional thermostat.

When you’re looking to heat one area of a building or home with cold spots, consider spot heating options. Cold spots that need heat include areas that may not have been included when the HVAC system was installed, such as new additions or spaces that were simply overlooked.

Combined heat and power (CHP) systems are being used by a wide range of applications to reduce the overall energy intensity of industrial systems. In some cases, such as industrial furnaces, efficiency improvements resulting from waste heat recovery can improve energy efficiency 10-50 percent.

Viking Cold Solutions, a supplier of thermal energy storage systems, announced that a Southern California utility, along with an independent third party energy management firm, ASWB Engineering, completed a field demonstration study of the Viking Cold thermal energy storage (TES) system.

Can I run a hot water zone off an existing steam boiler without a heat exchanger? Yes, but there is a limit to how much radiation your steam boiler can support.

In conjunction with the release of its latest soldering procedure, the Mechanical Contractors Association of America’s (MCAA’s) National Certified Pipe Welding Bureau (NCPWB) encourages contractors to make sure the following 10 things happen when their workers are making soldered joints.

Cooling towers are a relatively inexpensive and reliable way of expelling heat from a number of industrial and commercial applications. As the worldwide market continues to grow, so does the need to address the issue: How large should a cooling tower be to efficiently handle a specific application.
