More than 17 billion feet of PEX, or crosslinked polyethylene, has been installed worldwide. That’s enough to stretch to the moon and back almost seven times.

The U.S. Energy Information Administration claims that as much as 40 percent of a building’s operating costs are tied to HVAC and other mechanical systems.

Up to 80% of building engineers forget to regularly replace their facility’s UV-C lamps, leading to reduced HVAC/R system performance and losses in energy and indoor environmental quality.

When the school bell rings in the morning, bodies fill the classrooms. During lunch, classrooms empty and lunchrooms fill.

Mixed use buildings and campuses have been one of the hottest growing markets in the construction industry.

High Volume, Low Speed (HVLS) fans are widely used in commercial settings due to their superior performance to provide comfort, energy savings, and versatility. 

HVAC systems with strict space humidity requirements should be controlled for a constant discharge air dew point temperature (or maximum discharge air dew point) in addition to controlling to a set discharge dry bulb temperature. 

PEX (crosslinked polyethylene) piping is becoming increasingly accepted and specified on commercial plumbing projects for its flexibility, physical properties, and ability to retain the most preferential aspects of metallic piping while improving upon them.

The future of pervasive device communication is envisioned to be so powerful that everyday devices will be able to identify each other's presence and role, and interact in a manner that benefits our way of life. Such communication-rich environments will lead to embedded computation abilities, where information can be collected by devices and sensors, and processed to generate an intelligent response and coordinated actions.
