Bosch Thermotechnology Corp. is launching a new social media contest that encourages the HVAC industry to answer one question: “What makes you proud to be HVAC?”

Saint Vincent College, located on a 200-acre campus just 40 miles outside of Pittsburgh, places environmental stewardship as a top priority.

The New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) is sponsoring a series of day-long continuing education credit trainings on renewable heating and cooling (geothermal) technology throughout the state.

ClimaCool says it has introduced a modular chiller that harnesses both air and water to achieve simultaneous heating and cooling without geothermal. The product, referred to as the Simultaneous Heating and Cooling Air Cooled Heat Pump with Integral Water to Water Heat Recovery, extends the company’s line of chillers.

With a little guidance on ground-source heat pump design temperatures and a few rules of thumb for ground loop flow rates, most engineers are pretty comfortable designing the building side of a ground-source heat pump (GSHP) system.

This month’s Facility File will focus on the B2B June test for an HVAC application on a college campus with a building program to construct a new 12-classroom facility. The project delivery method is integrated project delivery (IPD).

This month’s B2B will focus on a new 12-classroom building addition, each room with its own closed loop ground source heat pump (GSHP) unit.
