What are the advantages of dry cooling?

The concept of dry cooling is all about delivering sensible cooling from a hydronic circuit. It might sound simple, but it has a prerequisite - the temperature of the system’s circulating water has to be kept above dew point at all times. Once this criterion is met, there is a clear potential to …

Things to consider when choosing a heat pump for commercial buildings

Choosing the right heat pump demands proper care and consideration. The variables affecting the performance and efficiency are numerous, and striking the optimal balance between application, performance and cost can be tricky. In recent years, heat pumps have become increasingly popular in chilling …

Why you should consider a 4-pipe system for cooling and heating

A traditional two-pipe system for heating and cooling may not be an optimal solution for buildings with mixed usage that combines, for instance, retails, offices and hotels. Besides, the southward side of the building facing the sun might require cooling at the same time that the northward side, in …

How to optimize your hydronic system

To optimize your hydronic system, you need to balance the workload of both the chillers and the pumps to transfer exactly the right amount of needed energy at the right time throughout the system. This may sound complicated, but there are smart solutions to this that you will learn more about in …

How does a chiller work?

The laws of thermodynamics tell us that heat will always move from hotter to colder areas. But the outside air, where the heat is to be dissipated, is often hotter than the air on the inside. How then, does a chiller work?

How heat pumps can save energy?

The energy efficiency of heat pumps can be more than three times higher than of electrical heater, boiler or a furnace. In addition to that, it does not need fossil fuels to produce energy and no air pollution is generated. Learn more about why heat pumps should be your first choice.

Active chilled beams vs fan coil units

Active chilled beams and fan coils are two different types of terminal units that are used to ventilate and control the temperature in a room. Both active chilled beams and fan coils are equipped with a coil that exchanges energy between the room air and water flowing through the coil. The water …

What is Energy Use Intensity

Buildings use more energy than any other sector so it stands to reason that measuring energy use in buildings is a key performance indicator.
