While my first two columns explored resilience and its relationship with sustainability, this column will provide some basic information about HVACR security with an eye toward covering the topics in more detail in the future.
Most of the time, when we talk about security our thoughts run to terrorism or other deliberate acts; however, it’s much more likely that an accidental event, whether a chemical spill from a truck overturning outside a building or from human error in operations, is what will drive the need for HVACR security in your building systems. That means that at least some consideration of security issues is part of every project.
