There are many factors to consider when looking to achieve ultra-efficiency in an HVAC system. Newer homes, for example, are built to a substantially higher standard than homes with previously existing code demands, evidenced by insulation levels that are at least 25% higher and blower-door scores of half or better than code.
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.
This white paper is intended to provide guidance for owners of commercial buildings, including K-12 schools, higher education campuses, and office buildings, to consider while returning to occupancy during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Hydrogen Program Plan (the Program Plan or Plan) outlines the strategic high-level focus areas of DOE’s Hydrogen Program.
Budget and delivery speed have always been challenges when designing an HVAC or pressure boosting system, but system efficiency is becoming a bigger concern every year.
Even though the majority of facility managers (80%) believe that the demand for data will be greater over the next five years, many of them are not fully or regularly using data to improve their situation.
This report provides the results of a recent OSIsoft survey on how more than 700 facility managers in the United States leverage performance data and what challenges they commonly encounter.
