There’s plenty of noise around “autonomous buildings.” Owners, operators, and integrators want a simpler lens: what is working now, what scales across portfolios, and what
Cooling Tower “Efficiency” vs. Actual Energy Efficiency (Greatest Misconception)
Cooling towers are often described as being “efficient” when the water leaving the tower is very close to the outdoor wet-bulb temperature. This common misconception results from the thermodynamic efficiency formula…
In this part, we will explore the factors that drive the cooling effect in a cooling tower. In Part 2, we will discuss the difference between cooling tower thermodynamical efficiency and electrical efficiency (kW/ton).
Building Automation used to be the “outside kid” that came last to the playground and wanted to play with everybody else’s toys. He would mess
