Building Automation

Buildings are both a significant cause of and a potential solution to climate change and energy insecurity. In the United States, buildings consume nearly 40% of the country’s energy and are responsible for almost 40% of greenhouse gas emissions. That represents 8% of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions, an amount equal to the emissions from all of India.

Gathering Existing Building Conditions for Performance Analysis when Documentation is not Available

Every day, buildings use substantial amounts of energy, water, and raw materials, creating a sizeable environmental footprint. The government mandates are clear: buildings must become more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly. Because you need to evaluate the performance of and proposed modifications for dozens – if not hundreds or thousands – of buildings, your review process must be practical, repeatable, and scalable. Building Information Modeling (BIM) provides the basis for such analysis.

100% Outside Air Dehumidification Methods

As consulting engineers and end users implement the ASHRAE 62 ventilation code, they are faced with selecting an appropriate method for dealing with moisture. This Bulletin will describe the basic options available when moisture must be removed from the outside air before that air is introduced to the space. Since all of the moisture removal methods described involve significant cooling of the air, the Bulletin will go on to explain and compare the reheat approaches that are available for each moisture removal method.
