Variable Air Volume (VAV) terminal units control the zone temperature, ensure the minimum ventilation air is delivered to the zone, and significantly impact fan energy consumption
As our industry continues to adopt more advanced Building Information Modeling (BIM) techniques, manufacturers are beginning to produce cloud-based selection software which can be driven by an Application Programming Interface (API).
Back in April 2022, I discussed the important role an individual fills when assigned the project manager (PM) position on a job, noting the position is more than just being a good communicator.
Demand Controlled Ventilation (DCV) is a control strategy which aims to vary the amount of ventilation air a system provides a space based on the real-time ventilation requirements (i.e. the ventilation demand) of the space.
First, there was the energy crisis in the 1970s that would reshape the HVAC industry and how we would select the optimum HVAC systems based on the primary heating and cooling resources.
Fasteners play a critical role in holding together systems in buildings ranging from plumbing products to ventilation systems. There are times when fasteners don’t meet performance standards and require redesigning.
The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 99 is a code that sets vital health care safety regulations for the protection of patients, staff, and the general public within health care facilities.
