HVAC 360

This week I dig into a question: "If there is a 10-foot rule between exhaust and outside air per code, why can air-handling units violate this rule." I dig through the mechanical code and show you my process. If you jump on the show notes you can follow along. This is a skill that every design should have, and that everyone else should be aware of. Show notes are at www.hvac360.com/135 . Please share the episode. Enjoy.

In this episode I put Hollywood on notice that the HVAC design community is on to their tricks! If they didn't keep producing great shows like Stranger Things then we'd probably be more vocal about it. What you say that you haven't watched Stranger Things? What are you waiting for! Consider this your invitation! Please Share and Enjoy!

This week I provide some of my thoughts on a session of super tall buildings. This is not definitive and it doesn't really do this session justice, as they had some great speakers, but this merely gives a starting point on some of the initial design questions that you need to think about when we are talking about tall buildings. Having said that, there are still some key take-aways for the everyday engineer. Show notes are at www.hvac360.com/132 . Please consider sharing this content and as always, Enjoy.

This is another episode for those who don't like to read as much, but this time I summarize an article from the ASHRAE Journal about Human Productivity in Buildings.

Finally! I have had a chance to review the 2019 ASHRAE Webinar and put together my cliff notes version of some of the highlights and what I found interesting. The Webinar covers the future of refrigerants and the future looks hot, I mean, explosive... No that's not right either, how about flammable. Yes, handle with care as we transition to refrigerant with low GWP ratings. Please share the episode and visit the show notes page at www.hvac360.com/126 . Enjoy!
