Rehau Inc. has completed a radiant floor heating and cooling system project for an historic warehouse on Pier One, the northernmost pier on San Francisco’s Embarcadero.

One of last year’s News’ “Best Contractors to Work For” winners, has been honored again by the Radiant Panel Association (RPA).

The 24-story, 430,000-sq-ft office building known as 801 Towers in Los Angeles dodges the energy crisis because of a stroke of engineering foresight.

The first geothermal system to be installed in the state of Nebraska was at a postal service facility in Lincoln. Since the installation, energy savings have been monitored and compared to a postal facility with a conventional hvac system. The results so far show that geothermal can save in the long-run.

The theme of the 22nd Annual HVAC/R/SM Product and Equipment Trade Show, sponsored by the Institute of Heating and Air Conditioning Industries, Inc. (IHACI), is “Carnival.”

The Radiant Panel Association (RPA) recently honored radiant contractors with its System Showcase.

Lighting upgrades, with interior retrofit lighting systems, a campus-wide digital energy management system, and a more energy-efficient thermal cooling system are only part-of a three-pronged plan for reducing energy consumption at Mt. San Antonio Community College in Walnut, CA.

The geothermal system in the Bellevue Community College’s new building classroom is expected to reduce energy costs by 30% or more, while saving almost 800,000 cu ft of natural gas annually.

The Sheet Metal and Air Conditioning Contractors’ National Association (SMACNA) has approved the chapter charter for the Alaska Mechanical Contractors Association. The founding members include 16 different Alaska companies and will represent sheet metal contractors in southern Alaska.

In recognition of the skilled labor union force, P.I.P.E. (Piping Industry Progress and Education Fund) recently hosted its second annual “P.I.P.E. Day at the Movies” in Phoenix, AZ on Labor Day at a local movie theatre.
