Ask the experts! Every month, we ask a distinguished panel of experts for information about how to best solve your problems, challenges, and new engineering issues. Our M/E Roundtable discussion asks a variety of questions on a topic, and then has the experts provide details about how to handle the challenge. We’ll ask the experts your questions, and whenever appropriate, print them in the magazine and post them here. Click here to talkback.

2. Feature: How to write HVAC control sequences
Developing new and complex sequences of operation has been a challenge in the design of HVAC systems. But the development of prescriptive, detailed sequences as part of the design documents is now more critical than ever.

3. Case study: going with the counterflow
Faced with an aging chiller plant that cost too much to maintain and too much to operate, a hospital needed new equipment to serve the facility cost-effectively and meet its requirements for the next 25 to 50 years. A cost analysis of several different systems provided the answer: dual-compressor centrifugal chillers arranged in series counterflow.

4. Constitution Center chills out: chilled beam technology
As Washington, D.C.-based David Nassif Assocs. rejuvenates its namesake building, the full-block marble clad structure is shedding its aging skin and MEP systems. It will reemerge in late 2009 as Constitution Center, the first large-scale building in the United States to use chilled-beam technology, and one of the largest USGBC LEED Core and Shell Development (LEED CS) projects to date.
