The Strange Gap in Building Infrastructure Humans now spend roughly 90 percent of their lives inside buildings. That fact is so common it almost disappears.
Why Buildings Need Environmental Integrity Governance For most of human history, infrastructure meant physical systems. Roads moved people.Pipes delivered water.Power grids delivered electricity.Communication networks carried
In a recent Monday Live discussion, industry leaders gathered to explore the critical relationship between governance and standards in the world of smarter buildings. The
By controlling these four variables — and continuously measuring total kW/ton — AI can optimize a chiller plant to the limit permitted by mechanical condition.
That limit is real And it matters.
We move to the variable that dominates centrifugal chiller electrical efficiency:
Compressor lift.
If there is one concept every operator should understand about chiller performance, it is this:
Lift drives compressor kW/ton.
But as we will see, reducing lift is powerful — and dangerous if misunderstood.
How Aviation, Medicine, Finance, Electricity, Climate Science — and the Digital Building Movement — Discovered the Same Truth Throughout modern history, a quiet pattern has
Next week, Greenole will join education leaders from across the country at the Consortium of State School Boards Associations (COSSBA) National Conference in Louisville. COSSBA
The Field Origins of Environmental Integrity Governance By Greggory Don Butler Twenty years ago, I didn’t enter the HVAC industry with a vision of governance,
This article focuses on the evaporator and condensers, specifically the flooded shell-and-tubes used in most large centrifugal chillers, and answers a fundamental question:
What actually makes an evaporator “efficient”?
Most people in the world of smart buildings have probably heard of Brick, ASHRAE 223P, or Haystack. What these are, essentially, are organized ways to
