Promoting Healthy Indoor Air Quality in the Classroom
As HVAC professionals, one of our primary goals is to promote healthy indoor air quality in all spaces, and there are fewer applications where this is more important than in classrooms. It is estimated that approximately half of public school districts need to update or replace the HVAC systems in their schools.1

System Testing to Optimize Terminal Unit Acoustics
In many commercial HVAC systems, engineers pair VAV boxes, fan-powered boxes and fan coils with duct silencers to meet the acoustical requirements of a space. While all the components are tested to industry standards – AHRI 880 and AHRI 260 for terminal units and fan coils and ASTM E477-20 for silencers – the combination of these two categories in real-world installations isn’t always straightforward.

Best Practices for a Successful Mechanical System Design
Understanding how much space a fan coil unit needs is imperative for mechanical system design. Incorrect assumptions can create deviations between contract documents and finished buildings, which can lead to change orders and increased project costs for building owners. The type of fan coil unit, the options it is configured with and the overall design of the building’s HVAC system all influence the final installation requirements.
