In my May 2016 article, “The Radiant Roads to School Design,” I was in the middle of designing a building with a radiant heated and cooled slab with DOAS/openable windows for ventilation for the College of Continuing and Professional Education (CCPE) at CSU Long Beach (CSULB).

Judges, prosecutors, law enforcement officials, and others who spend their days in and out of courtrooms in San Diego waited more than a decade for a proposed new state courthouse to become reality. According to designers on the project, their patience was rewarded.

HVAC and trade educators know the importance of students learning and working on equipment they will encounter in the field. This exact focus on experiential learning informed the plans for an expansive new trades teaching facility at Sheridan College’s Brampton, Ontario, Canada, campus.

Uponor North America has been named the 2018 Minnesota Manufacturer of the Year in the large-company category by the Manufacturers Alliance.

Uponor North America has signed an agreement to purchase an existing 237,000-sq-ft manufacturing facility and office space in Hutchinson, MN.

Critical facilities have many of the same HVAC demands as other buildings, except the consequences of unexpected problems can be catastrophic and expensive.

Radiant HVAC — what is it? Heating is done in three ways in buildings — convection, conduction, and radiation. Heating and cooling with air is common in most building HVAC systems.

As an engineer there are two choices — improve the “norm” or forge ahead with something new or borrowed from previous generations.
