ACEC Research Institute expects total engineering and design services revenue will again witness declines in 2021, falling 4% from 2020 levels.

The HVACR industry is unique in that it is made up of professionals from many different sectors. And while we all ultimately address the same goals, the everyday disciplines and practices often look very different. It is with this in mind that the AHR Expo, in conjunction with ASHRAE; Air-Conditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration Institute (AHRI); and several other organizations, created the Industry Trend Report in 2020 to provide a thoughtful connection point for HVACR audiences.

This White Paper presents wellness and sustainability as complementary aspects of smart, marketable buildings and describes the operational, financial, and productivity benefits of designing for indoor environmental quality (IEQ). 

As with all electronics, VFDs have advanced in capability and function over their long history, providing more system control to help eliminate external devices and integrate with programmable logic controllers (PLCs).

White paper details how supply chain disruptions are affecting the viability of the U.S. manufacturing sector.

The board members of the Albert Einstein Academy charter middle school in San Diego, California had a vision. 

By analyzing current data to understand the impact of potential decarbonization transition scenarios, pragmatic changes can be implemented in both replacement and new construction applications to reach the 2030 GHG global reduction targets, and be used as a stepping stone to reach the more lofty 2050 goals in the future.

Building owners and specifiers can experience design flexibility, reduced operational costs, and reliable, energy-efficient comfort year-round with variable refrigerant flow (VRF) systems even in extreme cold climates.
