This design environment keeps moving, but the performance and cost pressures remain. Weigh air-side and water-side economizers carefully: not just one or the other, but the options within each approach.
Modern data centers are evaluated not just on reliability but also on the efficiency of the cooling plant that supports them, so the cost to cool data center space is a key issue that must be addressed during design and system selection.
Due to the Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) program, Department of Defense facilities across the country were consolidated to improve efficiency and reduce operating costs.
This month’s Facility File will focus on the B2B November test for HVAC applications to replace an existing cooling tower at a pharmaceutical facility.
Operating rooms are home to some of the widest swings in required room conditions. Review three dehumidification options on the way to tailoring the right design for your next projects.
With a continuous pressure to decrease turnover time while also providing the medical staff with utmost flexibility, the design of the HVAC systems for today’s operating rooms requires not just special attention but also complex analyses.
While the latest surgical technologies lead the push for more OR suite square footage, they also contribute to ever-tighter ceiling space. Add updated requirements for IAQ and electricity, and any renovation team needs to sharpen its strategy in advance of this delicate operation.
Why was one floor’s laboratory ventilation failing to keep up, when it was even the closest floor to the rooftop fans? Some system sleuthing led two engineers to a fitting conclusion.
A colleague of mine was the project manager on a commissioning project for a build-out at a five-story, 150,000-sq-ft laboratory building at a large university.
