The December 2020 issue of Engineered Systems features: The case of the missing IAQ test data and rating standards, examining the benefits of lean design with BIM, creating a remote world, and much more!
After the pandemic, we will begin to see more and more convergence within building control systems between traditional applications and newer, pandemic-related technologies.
Two benefits of the modular, once-through, watertube design include the ability to rapidly generate full steam, even from a cold start (on-demand steam), and functionality that allows boilers to turn off quickly according to current load requirements.
It’s important for engineers to realize that the health of building occupants, both now and after COVID-19, is strongly affected by indoor air management.
A finalized system selection shall consider a central plant heating versus decentralized heating plants, and all specialized systems shall include general exhaust, boiler flue exhaust, and boiler plant ventilation.
