The Art Cool Mirror indoor AC unit is ideal for projects employing Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) technology. With an attractive redesigned mirror fascia and built-in WiFi capability, LG’s Art Cool Mirror makes it easy to incorporate an energy-efficient hvac system without sacrificing aesthetics. The indoor units maintain low sound levels, operating at sound levels as low as 28 dB(A), one of the quietest in the industry.
MoreThe newly renovated Steinbach Regional Secondary School in Manitoba is assisting the faculty with a great lesson for the students on the environment and the impact buildings make. Stantec Architecture and the Hanover School Division envisioned a school built to serve as a learning tool for its existing students as well as the growing community. To align with the sustainable design elements, the school incorporates chilled beam products as its primary source of air distribution.
MoreAll builders in Whisper Valley are required to hook up to EcoSmart’s GeoGrid, a 5-mile loop of underground distribution piping that links each home to a geo-exchange network, engineered and manufactured by REHAU, a global provider of hydronic technologies and a strategic partner in the Whisper Valley project. “It took a bit of time to figure out who was doing what,” says Dennis Ciani, head of marketing for Pacesetter Homes, an Austin-area builder that constructs about 500 homes per year, including most of the new homes in Whisper Valley. “But the geothermal loop was already in the ground and all homeowners had to do was tie into it, which turned out to be fairly easy
MoreA modular heat recovery system that uses variable refrigerant flow (VRF) technology, the CITY MULTI WR2-Series can be integrated into water-side designs such as geothermal or existing water loops. Its compact size, convenient front-only service access and self-cooling cabinet design make the unit suitable for a variety of applications, especially in tight spaces.
MoreThe MLZ One-Way Ceiling Cassette features a narrow-body design fitting flush to the ceiling for discrete space conditioning. The unit syncs with the company’s kumo cloud app and web service, allowing for remote management of airflow direction, temperature and overall personal comfort from a smartphone or tablet.
MoreWith its advanced ECM motor with intelligent self-adjusting SmartFlow technology, the WhisperValve DC from Panasonic is a highly energy-efficient ventilation system. The SmartFlow moves more air using less energy by sensing the amount of resistance in the duct run and automatically adjusts the fan speed to deliver optimal CFM output. Meanwhile, a condensation sensor helps control bathroom condensation to prevent mold and mildew.
MoreTrane Air-Fi wireless system is for building controls allows facility directors to use one device to measure temperature, relative humidity, carbon dioxide and occupancy status without the useof wires.
MoreRequest for custom mixed flooring proves no deterrent in implementing an underfloor access system to achieve comfort and performance goals, including greater daylight harvesting. The design for these floors needed to convey a high-end professional feel while maintaining the benefits which had been achieved using an access floor system. The architectural firm of Mark Cavagnero Assocs. had a clear vision of materials: teak plank wood, multi-piece porcelain and carpet. The challenge became how to blend these varying materials as transitions and maintain the functionality of the access floor system. At 30-stories and 450,000 sq. ft., 350 Mission Street is the first LEED Platinum high-rise in th
MoreWhen J.H. Snyder, one of the nation’s leading full-service real estate and building developers, took on The Vermont project, a twin tower apartment complex in Los Angeles, they knew they had to make the new building energy efficient but still provide their tenants with the best possible living experience. The build was awarded to The Limbach Co. for choosing a system with variable refrigerant flow (VRF) technology to fulfill their HVAC needs.
