Underfloor fan terminal enhances the comfort and functionality of underfloor air-distribution systems. The integrated variable-speed fan can better accommodate varying heating and cooling loads in both the perimeter zones and interior rooms of a building. (UFT by Greenheck)

Gas transmitter continuously monitors the level of combustible gases, from zero to 100% LEL. The infrared sensor provides long-term stability, low maintenance costs and a five-year warranty. (WorksAlone II by Industrial Scientific Corp.)

Light switch provides four factory-programmed light levels, with an on/off switch. The control also has a built-in infrared receiver that can interface with a remote control. (Address Pro by Rudd Lighting)

Emergency fluorescent-ballast packs allow lighting fixtures to operate under both normal and emergency conditions. During line-voltage interruptions, the ballast pack will automatically switch to emergency mode and provide 90 minutes of operation for standard linear fluorescent lighting fixtures. (200 Series by High-Lites)

Fire-fighting pump system provides fire-control in an economical package. This self-contained unit saves on engineering and installation time and takes up less space. (Pre-Pac by Patterson Pump Co.)

Toilet-fill valve can be used as a replacement for traditional valves. In addition, its faster to install and comes with a five-year warranty. The valve fits two-piece toilets and meets applicable plumbing codes. It is also available with a repair kit. (NexGen Fill Valve by Dearborn Brass)

Plastic-molded cooling tower offers capacities up to 2,000 cooling tons and provides longer life than traditional metal towers without the high budgeted costs. Other features include a unitarily molded leak-proof sump with I-beam pockets, large-orifice spray nozzles, seamless high-density polyethylene shell and direct-drive fans. (TM Series Cooling Tower by Delta)

Wafer valve , with a piston actuator, offers on/off or modulating control for steam and utility service applications, as well as most liquids and gases. Weighing less than the flanged bodies common on pneumatic control valves, it never exceeds 90 pounds. (Mark 75 by Jordan Valve)

Floor-mounted boxsupport positions electrical boxes 16 in. above the floor in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Provides easy and efficient compliance to most new construction requirements. (FMBS16 by Erico)

Display module is a 1/2-VGA module at a price comparable to existing 1/4-VGA units. It is an addressable graphics panel of 480 x 320 dot resolution and uses LCD technology for a clear display. (Maximiser2 by Densitron)

Building-management software includes an off-line dialog box to improve database management and user efficiency and has an expanded HVAC-application-specific graphics library. It is designed for Windows 2000 or Windows NT 4.0 workstations. (Insight 3.3 by Siemens)

Flipper solenoid valves with isolating diaphragms are big performers in liquid handling systems used for low internal volume and high pressure applications. (Type 6127/6128 and Type 6607/6608 by Burkert)

Electric actuators for large valves and dampers are ideal for applications such as fresh-air and exhaust-air dampers, air-handling units, inlet-guide vanes and variable-frequency drives. In addition, two actuators mounted in tandem can be easily installed on multi-sectional dampers or linear valves. (M9132 Series by Johnson Controls)

Component sourcebook for ventilation systems in animal laboratories includes a section on the ventilation of rodent holding rooms, with details on connecting ventilated cage racks to building ventilation systems. The book also contains a compilation of standards and guidelines. (Vivarium Sourcebook by Phoenix Controls)

Industrial networking system consists of redundant intelligent switches, modular hubs and hub agents, network management software and an Ethernet in-line fieldbus coupler. Components can function as individual networking components on an Ethernet network, or can be integrated into an automation solution. Interconnection technology allows for easy installation, configuration and integration into industrial network architectures. (Factory line by Phoenix Contact)

On-line users network provides subscribers with articles, tips and technical support to help them operate their HVAC system. Downloadable libraries of standard graphic and control applications enhance productivity for system users. On-line software updates are also available. (Tracer Summit Users Network Program by Trane)

Surge-suppression system features proprietary fusing, filter assembly and precise current sharing for mission-critical facilities with zero tolerance for downtime or data corruption. An on-line remote-monitoring system offers constant, real-time analysis. The system is available in 100KA to 300KA surge current capacity and also easily attaches to all UL-listed switchgear. (SELect by Current Technology)
