As the commercial HVAC industry shifts toward decarbonization and increased sustainability, the role of mechanical design engineers is evolving rapidly. For new mechanical engineers entering the field ...

Aggressive decarbonization targets set by government agencies and some owners are requiring the industry to formulate strategies to reduce the embodied and operational carbon in the built environment.

Designing a temporary heating system differs considerably from permanent installations. In early construction stages, you might face a tight roof with walls of sheet plastic, or nearly complete walls ...

For industrial and commercial facilities, simultaneous heating and cooling needs across a building, or even a single floor, bring challenges to both near-term energy management and long-term ...

An international research group investigated hybrid heat pumps (HHPs) as a technically and economically feasible solution to decarbonizing heat supply in old residential buildings and found that it ...

Underestimating thermal bridging can greatly undermine a building’s performance contributing to heating load variances of up to 30% and cooling load variances of up to 200%, says the MMM Group. That ...

Radiation heat and convection heat exist on stratified air conditioning zone building surfaces in large space, and they have significant impact on cooling load calculation and thermal comfort analysis ...

Drawing on guidance explored in an Ideal Commercial Heating CPD on commercial heat pump system design and specification, this ...
