The Science of ComfortTM
In February 2023, the new 40-gate terminal at Kansas City International Airport opened for commercial air service – a little more than 50 years after the original three-terminal airport began serving the area surrounding Kansas City, MO. At just over 1 million sq. ft. and with a budget of $1.5 billion, the new terminal is the largest single infrastructure project in the city’s history.

Over the decades, the Price Technical Centers (PTCs) have been visited by tens of thousands of customers. In 2019, it was time to update Price Technical Center West (PTCW) in Casa Grande, AZ. We started our design work in 2019, taking inspiration from the product demonstrations and design aesthetics of Price Technical Center East (PTCE) in Suwanee, GA, and completed the renovation in early 2022.

One of the most frequent questions that customer and reps ask us is “Can you model this?” Even though the answer is always a resounding yes – we love a challenge – every rep and customer is still
surprised at the broad array of applications that benefit from a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis. This means that a myriad of designs currently in use in different sectors of the building industry could have been improved.

High demands are placed on modern HVAC systems to create optimal indoor environments while minimizing energy usage. Consequently, usage of computer-based analysis tools like computational fluid dynamics (CFD) that aid in the design of these systems is becoming more prevalent. With the recent addendum to ASHRAE 62.1 we expect the demand for CFD analyses to increase even further. The change states that a CFD analysis can be used to estimate the ventilation effectiveness value used to determine the outdoor air requirement instead of tables provided in the standard.

The Price Technical Centers (PTC) have been the foundation of Price’s technical training programs for decades. These centers in Winnipeg, MB, Atlanta, GA and Phoenix, AZ are regularly expanding, evolving and improving in an effort to more effectively demonstrate product capabilities and compare and contrast different technologies.
