Since the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) in 2022, the building and design industry has been parsing out the legislation’s various tools and tax incentives that are newly available to building professionals who wish to apply strategic, high-performance planning to their projects.
This controller provides the necessary redundancy for critical facilities while providing optimization that reduces the energy consumption of the HVAC equipment.
Energy-efficient, all-electric hospitals significantly reduce emissions while creating healthier surroundings for patients, staff members and residents.
Decarbonization refers to the act of lowering or eliminating carbon dioxide emissions produced from human activities, especially carbon fuel combustion, such as burning coal, oil, and natural gas. Carbon dioxide acts as a greenhouse gas by trapping heat in the atmosphere, contributing significantly to global warming as well as other damaging environmental consequences.
Meeting developing building standards, codes and assuming best practices to support high-performance buildings, will require architects and engineers to collaborate holistically.
Meeting developing code requirements to reduce carbon emissions while creating environments with better IAQ will challenge and impact conventional building HVAC system designs.
