More Space, More Capacity and a World-Class Paint Line
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.

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.

Defining Sensible and Latent Heating and Their Importance in HVAC Applications
In the HVAC industry, it is common to hear about having to handle sensible and latent loads to condition a space. Since we tend to associate heating or cooling with a change in temperature, confusion can arise when multiple forms of heating are mentioned. In this post, we’re going to clarify the difference between sensible and latent heating and why the distinction is important in HVAC systems.

Measures to Mitigate Condensation Concerns
More than ever before, engineers, contractors and building owners are choosing chilled beams for their projects. This energy-efficient technology uses the heat transfer capabilities of air and water to provide heating and cooling in a space. But the concept of installing a water coil within the housing of the chilled beam raises some very important questions: will there be condensation, and are drain pans required?

Examining the Science of Laminar Flow and How It’s Used in HVAC Applications
Laminar flow is a type of fluid motion characterized by smooth parallel layers, or laminae, that can slide relative to each other with little to no mixing. This is in contrast to turbulent flows, where chaotic changes in pressure and velocity can be observed as vortices, or eddies (reverse swirling currents), and where much more mixing occurs within the fluid.
