These standards drive improvement and build customer trust. Understanding the audit process is crucial, as preparation varies by audit type, enabling organizations to effectively meet auditors' expectations.

The most frustrating moment in problem-solving is fixing an error only to see it reappear the next day. Until the root cause is identified and addressed, the issue will persist.

In-process verification uses high-tech tools like 3D scanners and laser trackers on the factory floor to monitor products as they're made, allowing instant analysis and immediate problem-solving.

In the last decade, UV-C installation has really become the standard in the healthcare sector, given its ability to be easily retrofitted, save money and energy, and inactivate those infection-causing microorganisms on HVAC surfaces and airstreams.

In the quest to build more sustainably, organizations have set forth a variety of standards to realize high-performance green buildings.

To realize high-performance green buildings, the place to start is improving HVAC – centering on ventilation/efficiency.

New York grocers are calling on the state to pause its HFC standard, noting that the proposed regulations would have devastating impacts on the retail food industry.

High-volume, low-speed (HVLS) fans can mobilize and destratify large volumes of air in any facility.

HVAC industry members are debating how the DOE’s new rules — the first-ever for commercial and industrial fans — will impact their operations.

Heat recovery systems can be divided into two categories based on the thermal parameters of the system: Systems with high and low thermal parameters.

Unico Inc. announced it is making highly efficient EC motors standard for all blower models within its modular air handling units.

The first phase took effect on January 1, 2018, and increased the minimum efficiency of commercial rooftop units (RTUs) by about 13 percent.

For many manufacturers, higher efficiency systems have been in the works for a while, but the 2023 DOE standards, pandemic, and current supply chain issues have added pressure.

While new DOE standards drive innovation and opportunity within the HVAC industry, they also add pressure and complexity for manufacturers.

Manufacturers were eager to show off their latest energy-efficient RTUs, many of which can also be used to meet building owners’ decarbonization and electrification goals.

Much like subcooling, understanding and calculating superheat can be somewhat difficult for newbie technicians.

Through the new integration, ecobee thermostat owners who also own Generac home standby generators can easily see the status of the generator and remedy potential issues.

Technicians need to understand the basic electrical fundamentals and how they relate to each other in order to better troubleshoot electrical failures.

Unfortunately, we can easily forget the role that suction driers can play in protecting the compressor and the compressor oil.

While balanced ventilation does have energy benefits, there is a misconception about its ability to reduce humidity.

The "magic number" 1.08 is convenience factor. It is a bunch of math combined into one factor as a shortcut, although sometimes more precise calculation is better.

While many in the industry are pleased the DOE has taken the opportunity to work together to develop its final rule, exactly how much of the working group’s recommendation the regulatory agency will adopt remains to be seen.

After six meetings, the working group reached consensus and provided recommendations for energy conservation standards, test procedures, and metrics.

On Dec. 17, 2015, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) finalized new negotiated energy conservation standards for commercial air conditioners, heat pumps, and commercial warm-air furnaces, otherwise known as rooftop units (RTUs).

More than half of U.S. commercial building space is cooled by packaged HVAC equipment, according to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). So it comes as no surprise that energy efficiency is the biggest trend driving the rooftop market.

Two major HVAC industry organizations have weighed in on a DOE proposal that would phase out noncondensing gas furnaces for consumer use beginning in about six years.

Jonathan Boccara, author of The Legacy Code Programmer’s Toolbox discusses understanding and working with legacy code. Working with legacy code is a key skill of professional software development that is often neglected.

Richard L. Sites discusses his new book Understanding Software Dynamics, which offers expert methods and advanced tools for understanding complex, time-constrained software dynamics in order to improve reliability and performance. Philip Winston spoke with Sites about the five fundamental computing resources CPU, Memory, Disk, Network, and Locks, as well as methods for observing and reasoning when investigating performance problems using the open-source utility KUtrace.

Andy Suderman, CTO of Fairwinds, joins host Robert Blumen to talk about standing up a kubernetes cluster. Their discussion covers build-your-own versus managed clusters provided by cloud services, and how to determine the number of kubernetes clusters an organization needs. Andy describes best practices for automating cluster provisioning, and offers recommendations about customizations and opinionation of cloud service providers, choice of container registry, and whether you should run complementary services such as CI and monitoring on the same cluster. The episode also examines the day 0/day 1/day 2 lifecycle, cluster auto-scaling at the cloud service level, integrating stateful services and other cloud services into your cluster, and kubernetes secrets and alternatives. Finally, they consider the container-network interface (CNI), ingress and load balancers, and provisioning external DNS and TLS certificates for cluster services.
