Building owners, facility managers, and HVAC design engineers convince themselves that pharmaceutical and mission critical installations are very sophisticated and more complex than many health care applications and certainly more challenging to engineer, operate, and maintain than commercial buildings. But, that’s not the case. 

Using chilled-water cooling coils within makeup air units (MAUs) as dry coolers offers enhanced operational stability even in lower ambient temperatures. Explore real-world case studies, where smart sequence modifications optimized performance.

Seldom will the central plant management maintain the hourly peak chilled water load requirements.

Are you sharing statistics about the promising career of HVAC engineering? Or are you sharing stories about the projects and solutions you’ve been lucky enough to be a part of? The way you design your story and how you choose to share it can either leave people bored or inspired — you choose.

Why is harm from air pollutants still so prevalent? There are several reasons.

This is the first of three articles on the application of MAU cooling coils as dry coolers.

Vice President of Innovation at the International Code Council, Ryan Colker, came on the Engineered Systems Magazine podcast to discuss the 2024 International Codes and the history of his organization.

If we're designing for changes in conditions, like occupancy, use, public safety, etc., are we also accounting for the possible changes in temperature, weather patterns, and natural disasters — not the historical or average but the undocumented, yet to come?

Whether it’s engineering a new campus distribution system, reengineering one, or adding an extension to one for a new building on the campus, hydraulic modeling is an essential design tool.

Treading lightly with your involvement in troubleshooting in new construction commissioning is necessary to avoid busting your budget or having others shift their responsibility onto you.
