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!

Ventilation in Laboratories

Posted by Mike Koupriyanov on July 30, 2024 at 9:00 AM

Using CFD to Optimize Air-Change-Driven Labs

Labs use significant amounts of energy due to their makeup air requirements driven by the air changes needed to protect lab personnel from exposure to airborne hazards. There is currently a big push in the industry to improve energy efficiency and decarbonize lab facilities. One way to do this is to scrutinize air change rate requirements by relying less on established rules of thumb and more on analysis based on the unique needs of the facility.

What Is a Single-Duct System?

Posted by Price Industries on June 4, 2024 at 9:00 AM

A Legacy Elevated for Comfort and Efficiency

A single-duct system is an HVAC configuration that divides a commercial building into multiple zones, each with its own temperature control. This enhances occupant comfort, ensures the zones are provided with the correct volume of outdoor air for ventilation and allows the total building to operate efficiently.
