As the commercial HVAC industry shifts toward decarbonization and increased sustainability, the role of mechanical design engineers is evolving rapidly. For new mechanical engineers entering the field ...
Designing a temporary heating system differs considerably from permanent installations. In early construction stages, you might face a tight roof with walls of sheet plastic, or nearly complete walls ...
Load calculations, and using software to do them, are key traits of the contractor of the future, according to a new ACCA ...
Radiant ceiling and floor systems are increasingly recognized as key technologies for building decarbonization and energy reduction. By using large surface areas for heat exchange ...
Underestimating thermal bridging can greatly undermine a building’s performance contributing to heating load variances of up to 30% and cooling load variances of up to 200%, says the MMM Group. That ...
Radiation heat and convection heat exist on stratified air conditioning zone building surfaces in large space, and they have significant impact on cooling load calculation and thermal comfort analysis ...
An international research group investigated hybrid heat pumps (HHPs) as a technically and economically feasible solution to decarbonizing heat supply in old residential buildings and found that it ...
Sven Mumme, DOE technology manager for opaque envelope and thermal energy storage R&D, introduces industry and other stakeholders to the purpose of the first annual Stor4Build consortium meeting.
Heating more buildings with electric heat pumps can provide a larger market for renewable energy. Yet while adopting heat pumps, in a practice known as building electrification, “gets a lot of ...
