Part 2 of this series focuses on matching heat pumps with piping systems for hot water storage to increase efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Once a designer has selected the best heat source for the heat pump, the next step is determining whether to use a multipass or single-pass heat pump. In Part 2 of this series, you’ll also learn how to size hot water storage for energy efficiency and greenhouse gas reductions.
Virtual design/construction allows project teams to coordinate projects using a 3D environment. It addresses problems before materials are delivered to the jobsite, reducing resource waste and using labor efficiently.
Providing contractors with outdated information on your spec sheets can create problems on the jobsite. Read on for benefits and tips for updating spec sheets for quality projects.
Part four in a four-part series on cannabis facility design. This article describes the common safety systems typically required in cannabis cultivation facilities, with a focus on the cultivation side of an indoor facility.
Heat pumps are the solution for building owners to increase energy efficiency while reducing greenhouse gas emissions and the cost of utilities. Read on to find out how this affects plumbing system design.
There are multiple building design considerations, challenges and best practices to consider when engineering domestic water systems for high-rises. Read on to find out about them.
Hot water recirculation systems have been misunderstood and plagued with problem resolutions that don’t stand the test of time. The author says this results from first-order thinking — simplistic and superficial. Read on to discover how deep and complex second-order thinking can help improve the design of these systems.
Part three of a four-part series on cannabis facilities design. This article describes heating, ventilation, air conditioning and dehumidification systems and air distribution, with a focus on the cultivation side of an indoor facility.
