Living on campus is an integral part of the college experience. Prospective students evaluate the condition of campus facilities when choosing higher education options.
Why was one floor’s laboratory ventilation failing to keep up, when it was even the closest floor to the rooftop fans? Some system sleuthing led two engineers to a fitting conclusion.
A colleague of mine was the project manager on a commissioning project for a build-out at a five-story, 150,000-sq-ft laboratory building at a large university.
MacroAir has introduced AirEffect, a climate control system for large diameter fans. Through automation, AirEffect eliminates the need to constantly monitor and adjust the fans’ speed and direction in response to temperature fluctuations. AirEffect identifies and dictates the optimal operating speed and direction for each fan based on the facility’s temperature and humidity.
I recently commissioned a project that involved replacing eighty 2-pipe, dual-temperature fan-coil units in a nearly 40-year-old high-rise condominium.
Multi-Wing launched ƐPS™ Fan Blade Extensions. With bristles on the end of each blade, the company says the ƐPS closes the gap between the shroud and the fan tip. This fan blade extension minimizes turbulence in the blade, improves fan performance, and reduces noise.
ZOO Fans has announced a new line of industrial fans for use in high-bay facilities. These fans can move air from the ceiling to the floor in facilities from 120-ft to 140-ft high.
