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.

Understanding How We Measure Thermal Comfort
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!

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.
