Advancing HVAC Training in Casa Grande, AZ
Over the decades, the Price Technical Centers (PTCs) have been visited by tens of thousands of customers. In 2019, it was time to update Price Technical Center West (PTCW) in Casa Grande, AZ. We started our design work in 2019, taking inspiration from the product demonstrations and design aesthetics of Price Technical Center East (PTCE) in Suwanee, GA, and completed the renovation in early 2022.

A Look at the Technology Inside Price’s Ceiling Air Purifier
The patent-pending Ceiling Air Purifier (CAP) by Price is the perfect combination of performance, aesthetics and efficiency. Simply replacing a 2-by-2-foot ceiling tile, the CAP is a stand-alone unit that can easily be integrated into a space – without any modifications to the existing HVAC system – and is independent of all building controls. Multiple diffuser faces are available to seamlessly fit in with the design intent of the surrounding area. The unit is discreetly contained above the ceiling for quiet operation at any of the three adjustable motor speeds.

Active Chilled Beams and the Coanda Effect
Open-ceiling spaces are becoming increasingly popular, especially in the architectural industry. Aside from providing a feeling of spaciousness and a contemporary aesthetic, the absence of a ceiling grid or drywall also simplifies coordination and allows for more flexibility with ceiling fixtures.

Renovated, Expanded Space Creates a Living Showroom
We are continually adding talented individuals to the Price team, and in 2018 it was clear that our office space at our headquarters in Winnipeg, MB, was bursting at the seams. Team members were sharing offices, working in hallways and competing for meeting room space.

Controlling Unwanted Noise from the Source to the Receiver
An acoustic panel is one of many names that describe a modular component used to block or absorb noise where it’s unwanted. Also known as a double-walled panel, sandwich panel, insulated panel, thermal panel, double-walled ductwork or plenum wall, this engineered building element contains or reduces sound energy at different stages along the path that sound travels from the source to the receiver.
