By connecting data center waste heat to district heating networks, operators and cities can transform an environmental challenge into a community resource.
The EPA’s move to extend deadlines for cutting back powerful refrigerants is drawing sharp criticism from manufacturers, who argue the rollback will actually raise air conditioning and refrigeration costs for Americans.
ASHRAE Standard 183 is now embedded in energy codes across most U.S. jurisdictions, and many engineering teams don't know their current load calculation workflows may not meet it.
Buildings can't take advantage of modern AI and automation tools because their data is locked inside proprietary systems. Liberating that data into a centralized, structured layer is the foundation for smarter facilities.
As Northern Virginia’s data center boom strains power, water, and infrastructure, industry leaders are turning to district energy to transform waste heat into a scalable, low-carbon resource.
Whether a coil coating is necessary hinges on the environment: salty air, kitchen grease, or aggressive chemicals can turn unprotected HVAC/R coils into short-lived liabilities.
As commercial buildings face escalating costs, aging equipment, and a shrinking labor pool, the HVAC industry is being pushed to abandon old-school, reactive maintenance in favor of smarter, data-driven strategies.
