The Science of ComfortTM
The last few years have seen an increased focus on indoor air quality. Occupants want to feel comfortable in commercial spaces, and building owners, architects and engineers want to know that they’re constructing and renovating facilities with products that work as intended. No gimmicks – just real, science-backed solutions.

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. Plans for the expansion of the Golspie North production space were already underway, and it seemed like the perfect time to expand and renovate our offices.

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.

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.

In the summer of 2021, Price’s Golspie North manufacturing facility in Winnipeg, MB, completed a massive expansion. Measuring 130,000 square feet (108,000 square feet of which is dedicated manufacturing space), the Golspie North project is the largest expansion to be completed on the Winnipeg campus. The additional space dramatically increased manufacturing and surge capacity for the Critical Environments product group and PARC, Price’s architectural ceilings business.
