Dr. Stephanie Taylor discusses the potential of a COVID-19 second wave, the importance of indoor ventilation, her role on the ASHRAE Epidemic Task Force, and more.
The success of a VRF project is dependent on technicians completing the installation, startup, and pre-commissioning per the manufacturer’s best practices.
The 2020 ASHRAE Handbook, “HVAC Systems and Equipment,” discusses various systems and the equipment (components or assemblies) they comprise and describes features and differences.
An expert panel, including William Bahnfleth, Rob Tanner, Jim Bogart, and Donny Simmons, answers this question and more regarding the role HVAC plays in virus transmission.
Seventy-six percent of ASHRAE members who responded to a survey said their workload has decreased or stayed the same as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
On Demand People operate spaces based on how they feel, not on energy models. The same science used by engineers when applied to define building problems is not applied to integrate the human factor. The success of this strategy is a miserably low satisfaction rate with the built environment. If society honestly desires energy efficiency from architecture, then it should not be the exclusive goal, but rather the outcome from successfully achieving the desired indoor climate.
On Demand Adiabatic humidification systems have opened up a whole new way of saving energy, and making buildings more efficient and comfortable. Moving to new technologies can give many of us pause and fear from the unknown. Having key partners in the process can really help move the project along successfully. The New York City based Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) introduced adiabatic humidification into their new Clinical Laboratory Medicine building in 2017, and again in its newest Outpatient Ambulatory Care Center just finishing construction.
