The Science of ComfortTM
Displacement ventilation (DV) systems are revolutionizing how large spaces are cooled and ventilated. Although mostly known for their ability to provide exceptional indoor air quality, DV systems can also reduce total airflow requirements in certain applications.

Ever had a project stall because of unexpected noise complaints? Chillers may be the culprit.
Noise is frequently overlooked in the design of mechanical equipment, only becoming a problem once the equipment is installed and the neighbors start complaining. If the local authorities find that a site has violated noise ordinances, the situation needs to be remedied quickly to avoid legal action.

In February 2023, the new 40-gate terminal at Kansas City International Airport opened for commercial air service – a little more than 50 years after the original three-terminal airport began serving the area surrounding Kansas City, MO. At just over 1 million sq. ft. and with a budget of $1.5 billion, the new terminal is the largest single infrastructure project in the city’s history.

Cleanrooms are critical spaces within many industries that are dedicated to uniquely sensitive processes or high-value products such as computer chips and lifesaving vaccines. They typically have very high air change rates related to the ISO rating class required for the processes they house. The various ISO classes represent the airborne particle concentrations allowed in the space and range from ISO 9 (the “dirtiest”) to ISO 1 (the “cleanest”).

As power grids evolve and become more modern and complex, battery energy storage systems are being used more frequently. Commonly known as a BESS, this device is typically used for power grid energy storage as an operating reserve, for demand-side load management and for frequency control, as well as to minimize the risk of power outages. It is often used as an energy storage solution with intermittent renewable energy sources.
