The Science of ComfortTM
The Science of ComfortTM
For years, studies have linked healthy environments in schools with improved educational outcomes for students. We’ve seen that indoor air quality has a major impact on health, performance and attendance and that quiet classrooms improve academic performance, reduce stress and encourage better behavior.

For applications in climates that require a significant amount of heating, owners, engineers and contractors often wonder if chilled beams are an appropriate choice for their projects. Since the “chilled” part of the chilled beam name only specifies cooling, can you also produce heat with a chilled beam?

Sound-power and sound-pressure levels are used to catalog acoustical performance for terminal units. The sound performance of a terminal unit is crucial when considering the comfort of occupants within a space. For example, some places have an open-ceiling design and are well suited to quiet units to minimize distracting noises.

Universities and colleges are so much more than institutions that distribute degrees. They provide an environment for students to meet others who share the same philosophies – and many who refreshingly do not – and bring together great minds that create even greater ideas. For many people, their university becomes a second home: a place where they feel supported, where they can learn unencumbered and where they feel they truly belong.

When SolutionAir launched the RegenCore alternating mass-exchanger energy-recovery unit in 2019, the unit rocked the industry, delivering up to 92% effectiveness and no preheat requirement down to outdoor temperatures of −40°C/F. Its energy-recovery cores and four-damper design maximized energy conservation and minimized leakage, but combining the components meant RegenCore needed to be either mounted on a roof or concrete pad outdoors or installed in large mechanical rooms indoors.
