Optimizing Building Efficiency and Thermal Comfort

Commercial boilers generate heat through the combustion of fuel and the transfer of thermal energy to water. The heated water is then distributed throughout a commercial building for use in HVAC, processing, manufacturing and other applications. In North America, natural gas is the most common fuel type for commercial boiler systems, and the hot water they produce is frequently used for radiant or forced-air space heating.

The Efficiency Advantage of Factory-Mounted Piping Packages

Single-duct VAV systems are one of the most prevalent commercial HVAC systems in North America. Traditionally, their installation is labor intensive, requiring on-site assembly of various components. Preconstruction practices are simplifying this reality, and the biggest game changer is factory-mounted hydronic piping packages.
