The Science of ComfortTM
Since starting operations in 2019, Price’s Crestridge factory in Georgia has become the US base for production of many HVAC products, including chilled beams, underfloor air diffusers, fan columns and other products for Sustainable Systems; plenums for GRD; and silencers and acoustic panels for Noise Control.

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.

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.

Chances are you are familiar with the term “room temperature.” We all have experienced work environments that are too hot, too cold or too muggy. Perhaps it is a conference room that always runs cold or a classroom that feels too stuffy. Typical occupants do not need to know why the room is uncomfortable; they just want it fixed – and fixed quickly!
