A lot is asked of a lighting control system. When you flip a switch or adjust a dimmer to achieve a desired effect, there’s a litany of design, material and labor choices that go into making sure the system behaves correctly.
James Watt contributed so many engineering advancements in the late 1700s that we named the “watt” after him: a single unit of power.
While no two HVAC efficiency projects are the same, energy optimizations often encounter the same four, primary mechanical functions.
Modern life requires electricity. Whether charging a device or using your stove, you’re utilizing “the grid.”
Heating and cooling buildings (excluding electric heating) usually involves a fluid (liquid or gas) flowing through ducts or piping. Understanding fluid movement in HVAC systems is part II of our series, HVAC Overview.
