More recent studies have shown that the costs for remedying problems arising from an unfavourable indoor climate are often higher for the employer, the building owner and society than the energy costs of the affected (sick) building. It has also been proven that a suitable indoor climate quality can improve total performance at work and study, while lowering absentee rates…

A.T.E. wanted to create an environmentally-conscious offce to showcase some of their own ‘green’ ideas and products. One of the important steps taken to create a sustainable workspace was the incorporation of HMX’s Indirect Direct Evaporative Cooling (IDEC) as the primary cooling technology instead of a conventional central air- conditioning system…

Urbanization is changing patterns in our environment like climate, air, water and land. Urban areas temperature profiles become distinctly different from outskirts of urban agglomerations leading to clear delayering of temperature profiles. There are innovative techniques to reduce the heat in the structure and the effect of this heat will also reduce the heat in atmosphere. Less heated structure will use less air-conditioning system for cooling internal spaces. However, without such systems, the air conditioning systems pump the peak load plus they add 30% more heat from the compressors. This increases the ambient temperature, which require   Read More...

The volume flow hood testo 420 sets new standards regarding weight and precision. With only 2.9 kg and ergonomic handles, frequent or difficult measurements too, can be carried out comfortably, without inducing fatigue, and therefore safely..

The article describes a case study of a retrofit undertaken at a large IT office building, which had been impacted by corrosive external environment leading to high incidence of equipment failure and how the problem was addressed through innovative ventilation design…

An existing energy guzzler and reciprocating chillers were replaced with two units of highly efficient YORK water cooled screw chillers...
