Data centers are the engines of the digital age, powering everything from e-commerce to telemedicine and entertainment.
These massive facilities handle immense data volumes, but their operational demands come with significant environmental and energy costs. Addressing these challenges requires adhering to data center design standards — frameworks that ensure safety, reliability, and sustainability.
Whether it's because of energy use concerns, government mandate, or just technology advancing, the way we heat spaces is changing.
The way agriculture happens is changing. In fact, it's gaining ground in a familiar environment: the great indoors.
For most people, an HVAC system has one primary function: keeping indoor climates at a comfortable temperature.
It doesn't matter if the system is doing other important work in climate control – say, keeping humidity at the right level or monitoring for pollutants. If the temperature inside a space is too hot or too cold, people notice and aren’t bashful about saying so.
Thanks to a global pandemic, the importance of indoor air quality (IAQ) is taking center stage in many applications more than it ever has.
The hottest day in the summer. The coldest day in the winter. Or any day in between.
Walk into a building of any sort with an HVAC system that's not functioning as expected and you'll know it – it's hard to miss going into a space that's too cold or too hot.
The same goes for when you get an energy bill that far exceeds what you anticipated – when your HVAC is not running efficiently, you'll feel it in your wallet.
