As the commercial HVAC industry shifts toward decarbonization and increased sustainability, the role of mechanical design engineers is evolving rapidly. For new mechanical engineers entering the field ...

Designing a temporary heating system differs considerably from permanent installations. In early construction stages, you might face a tight roof with walls of sheet plastic, or nearly complete walls ...

An international research group investigated hybrid heat pumps (HHPs) as a technically and economically feasible solution to decarbonizing heat supply in old residential buildings and found that it ...

Aggressive decarbonization targets set by government agencies and some owners are requiring the industry to formulate strategies to reduce the embodied and operational carbon in the built environment.

Underestimating thermal bridging can greatly undermine a building’s performance contributing to heating load variances of up to 30% and cooling load variances of up to 200%, says the MMM Group. That ...

US-based industrial heating company Cleaver-Brooks has launched a new air-to-water heat pump for hydronic heating applications. Hydronic systems circulate hot water through pipes to radiators, ...

Extreme heat is one of climate change's most urgent and rapidly growing consequences, especially in cities. Urban areas are particularly vulnerable because they trap heat in building materials and ...
