Evidence directly tying the indoor environment to states of health or disease continues to emerge.

This month’s B2B focuses on the conversion of an existing 1 million-square-foot commercial office building’s record computer-aided drawings (CAD) to building information modeling (BIM) drawings. 

When I started out at an HVAC consulting engineering firm back in the 1960s, our services were primarily focused on hospital design engineering. Back then, steam system engineering was standard for those building applications.

One of the most valuable deliverables from a design and construction project are the as-built drawings (often referred to interchangeably as record drawings).

This month’s B2B focuses on a new cooling tower to serve a pharmaceutical facility’s new process water system. This tower will be a closed-loop, evaporative condenser to operate 24/7/365.

Mother Nature, unforgiving with wasteful and inefficient strategies, just sent a memo on designing HVAC systems to both support occupant health and reduce energy consumption. Let’s take a look.

Quite a vague headline, right? Well, it fits the following problem quite well.

Over the past few years, ABMA has positioned Today’s Boiler as a premier source for boiler industry trends and technology advances focusing on the purchase, installation, and maintenance of a wide range of boiler applications and boiler products.

With variable refrigerant flow (VRF) HVAC systems growing in popularity, engineering refrigeration systems can become very intimidating to many design engineers.

HVACR engineering is chock full of barriers. Whether it’s a lack of qualified employees, design challenges, budgetary issues, security concerns, etc., there’s seemingly always something in the way, throttling your progress.
