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.

Streamlining Your Workflow with the Price Engineer Toolkit

A variable air volume terminal unit, or VAV box, provides space-specific heating, ventilation or air-conditioning to individual zones within a larger indoor environment. The most common VAV box is a single-duct terminal unit, which regulates the volume of air that each space requires by adjusting a damper with an automated controller and actuator. VAV terminals often include additional components such as hydronic or electric heating coils and fans equipped with variable-speed motors.

Exploring the Inner Workings of Mechanical VAV Diffusers

In a previous blog post, we discussed variable air volume (VAV) diffusers and how these simple devices create small-zone comfort. VAV diffusers are available in two basic types: mechanical (thermal) and digital (electric). In this post, we take a closer look at the mechanical version, which requires no electrical or pneumatic connections and is powered by the temperature of the air.

When You Should – and Shouldn’t – Use These Powerful Devices

Commonly used in both residential and commercial applications, a seven-day programmable thermostat is what sets the weekly schedule for the equipment it is controlling. We often see programmable thermostats connected to home furnaces, for instance; the device’s schedule is programmed for different days of the week to operate the fan within the furnace and any heating or cooling associated with it according to the homeowner’s needs.
