Since its inception, air conditioning has saved lives and driven technological innovation – take a deep dive into its transformative role.

Although evaporative cooling is great at saving energy, it does consume some water, but the benefits on energy savings outweigh the water usage, which in some places is a scarce resource.

In addition to taking up less space, smaller chillers can be more easily installed, weigh less, and pose fewer shipping, rigging, and building-construction challenges. They can also be more energy efficient, with the same or even greater cooling capacity.

Smart tools continue to grow in the HVACR industry, spurring manufacturers to create connected, digital devices that will make work in the field less manual and more automatic.

Based on hygrometer technology, this product identifies deviations from ambient rh levels, which can cause static hazards at manufacturing sites and discomfort in homes and offices.

With the impending deadline right around the corner, manufacturers have started introducing their A2L systems in the U.S.

Over time, dirt, dust, pet dander, debris, and more accumulate in air ducts. And since the HVAC system works basically as a whole-home vacuum, all of that is recirculated through homes when the HVAC system runs, unless the ducts are cleaned out.

The proposed new approach to chilled water HVAC systems promises to provide significant capital cost savings, energy cost savings, and a path to eliminate CO₂ emissions.

Though geothermal systems can cost several times more than traditional HVAC units, the energy savings may be substantial.

At a recent IGSPHA meeting, tips were shared on how HVAC contractors can become geothermal powerhouses.

The bill significantly reduces the cost of a geothermal installation, spurs job creation, and hopes to inspire more contractors to tap into the geothermal market.
