1. Designing lab ventilation systems
Engineers should consider the codes and standards, safety, risk mitigation, and potential energy savings when designing laboratory ventilation systems.
2. VFD, motor strategies for energy efficiency
A variable frequency drive (VFD) often is specified to reduce operational cost for pumps, fans, compressors, or any similar equipment with variable load profiles that may be found in a typical building. Here’s how to specify a VFD to meet load conditions while achieving efficiency.
3. How ASHRAE Standard 90.1 contributes to integrated design
ASHRAE Standard 90.1 is under continuous maintenance. This article focuses on the recent evolution of this standard, the impact on energy and performance, the design process, and how human interaction can improve energy efficiency.
4. Driving data center design: Electrical, power systems
In the information age, data centers can be the beating heart of not just a building, but an entire global corporation. The electrical engineer plays a key role in the design of these mission critical facilities.
5. Connecting buildings via the Internet of Things
The Internet of Things offers engineers ripe opportunities to take the lead with clients.
