The first thing that comes to mind when thinking about high-end air conditioning systems is usually cost.

This product includes a zero-penetration roof backed by the Endura10R™ 10-year roof warranty.

The future of classroom environments just got a little quieter, thanks to the recent certification of Changeair’s Freshman Series Vertical Air Handler by the Air Movement and Control Association (AMCA) Intl. Inc.

This product can be installed vertically, horizontally from the left or right, or inverted with a down flow conversion kit.

This patented hinge/handle system allows an air handler door to be opened in either direction or removed completely.

While not often addressed, the air handler in an HVAC system has a significant role to play.

Engineers say that, designed properly, run strategically, and equipped with the right accessories, air-handling units can help save energy in a commercial HVAC system.

New technology has made air handlers more efficient and much quieter, and when paired with heat pumps, a great all-electric and sustainable option.

When paired with heat pumps, air handlers are a great all-electric and sustainable option.

This product has a new modular construction scheme with the thermal performance of the company’s patented nuCore Heat Exchanger.

Designed to maximize reliability and uptime, this product allows technicians to stay dry while safely inspecting the basin with an internal walkway.

Selecting the correct air-cooled condenser for an installation is a vital part of ensuring the system operates properly and at peak efficiency.

Responding to increased public awareness of the importance of healthy indoor air quality, the hospitality industry is stepping up its game when it comes to providing guests with fresher, cleaner, and, sometimes, sanitized indoor air.

Sensibo produces smart heating and cooling devices and IAQ monitoring products, allowing users to control their heating and cooling equipment with artificial intelligence, data, and sensors, while taking advantage of air quality data to optimize equipment use and reduce energy consumption.

Residential air movement and ventilation can be a challenge that requires multiple callbacks. There is a way to fix that, though.

With two airside measurements and a little math, you can test and even adjust an outside air duct in a few minutes.

How can an effective airflow strategy ensure quality ventilation and optimal indoor air quality, without breaking the budget?

By employing a ventilation strategy such as a DOAS, conditioned fresh air can be brought into the building, thus improving IAQ and ensuring a safer environment.

Diverse examples show the importance of air movement and the creative ways in which contractors and manufacturers have dealt with it successfully.

Air handlers are the heart of an HVAC system, moving the conditioned air through a building. Like a heart, they can generate a lot of noise while operating. Manufacturers, however, are taking steps to reduce that noise.

AI promises to revolutionize IAQ, but first, it needs to overcome several challenges, like unreliable data, incomplete automation, and gimmicky solutions that fail to deliver real value.

These products are designed to serve both the new construction and replacement markets.

Packaged rooftop units are the workhorses of the commercial market, providing cooling to approximately 60% of U.S. commercial building floor area.

Using a smart composite material instead of traditional aluminum, Invi Air's diffusers reduce condensation by up to 95%, leading to improved HVAC system efficiency and long-term durability.

The Charlotte Mecklenburg School System (CMSS), the 19th largest in the U.S. with a $1.3 billion operating budget, recently decided to take action to identify school system buildings that might be exhibiting air leakage.

Portable cooling products used to be considered “temporary” solutions, but consumers are now looking to portables to solve more of their residential and commercial needs.

Preventive maintenance and proper setbacks can save a business money while keeping staff and customers comfortable.

New window units are quiet and efficient, and HVAC contractors may want to consider offering them to customers who need them on an emergency – or long-term – basis.

Air conditioning and refrigeration are marvelous inventions and have a transformative impact on comfort and health, underscoring their irreplaceable role in modern living.

Don Kuhl, a U.S. Air Force veteran and civil servant, secured the most public votes and won an a/c unit in the giveaway, which honors the sacrifices of local veterans, active-duty service members, and their families.

When the Woosh air quality monitor and smart air filter are paired with a Sensi smart thermostat, users can transform an HVAC system into an air purifier for the entire home.

OK, you’ve exhausted all of the existing air from an interior space; now how do you replace it? You bring in makeup air from another source. For the purpose of an HVAC discussion, your source will be mechanical equipment — makeup air units.

Heat-only, direct-fired, and indirect-fired makeup air units have been added to the company’s product line. 

The unit includes a standard neoprene, vibration-isolated blower and motor for quiet operation.

Ideal for cost-conscious applications that require 100 percent outside air, the new unit from Modine provides first-rate efficiency with a 100 percent thermal efficiency (92 percent sensible), and extends airflow capability to as low as 800CFM to cover far more applications than previously offered.

The MUAA distributes tempered fresh air to provide maximum comfort to the occupants in well-ventilated homes. The heating elements modulate continuously, which allow fresh, hot air at a low cost.

Most of the rest of the world has relied on ductless mini-split systems for their heating and cooling needs for decades, but that has not been the case in the U.S. That may be changing with the advent of ducted mini-split systems.

We often humidify and dehumidify as part of our work, but let’s take a different look at what happens when we do that.

As HVAC providers, we have the ability to advise homeowners, builders, and property managers on ways to improve their indoor air quality.

Four core components work together to control when refrigerant is absorbing heat, and when it is releasing heat.

The proper application of modern HVAC technologies can help maximize indoor air quality while minimizing losses in operational efficiency.

Economizers used in rooftop units and air handlers are multipurpose devices that can improve both the energy efficiency and indoor environment in a wide range of commercial buildings.

Aircuity has been named a New York State Energy Research and Development Authority Qualified Vendor for the RTEM program.
