The design and magnitude of a new residential indoor pool built onto a 21,000-square-foot, 100-year-old home named “Daybreak” in Montclair, New Jersey, confronted mechanical engineers with psychrometric and sustainability challenges on par with huge commercial indoor waterparks.

The retrofit of the Donald Richards Community Pool HVAC system was by no-means a conventional drop-in replacement.

A new HVAC design is expected so save an estimated $918,000 at the REC community center in Grapevine, TX. The savings is projected in operational and energy costs over the heating, cooling, and dehumidification units’ expected 25-year lifecycles.

As one of the leading research universities in the United States, Georgia Tech has an ongoing commitment to sustainable design and architecture.

BIM, creative pre-fabrication, and even some on-site disassembly/reassembly teamed up with excellent design coordination and communication at the Harry S. Truman Presidential Library & Museum. As a result, the new central chilled water plant and dehumidification system will preserve priceless collections for the future.

Specified Air Solutions (SAS) recently announced the formation of two new divisions, Dehumidified Air Solutions (DAS) and Dehumidified Air Services (DASV).

For the past 20 years, the Wilkes County Courthouse in Wilkesboro, NC, has depended on its chiller system. The courthouse had been reliably cooled with a Daikin ALS170A screw compressor chiller, but the unit was beginning to show signs of aging.

The Atlantic Club, a health club in Red Bank, NJ, faced the decision of paying ongoing maintenance costs for an aging 15-year-old indoor pool dehumidifier or prematurely replacing it with newer HVAC technology.

Dedicated outdoor air systems (DOAS) have been available for over 20 years, with the primary benefit being the ability to decouple outdoor air tempering from conditioned space thermal loads that can be handled by separate, secondary systems.
