It’s important for HVAC system designers to understand that the relationship between pump costs and pump size is not a simple straight line. As pump sizes increase, the costs for the equipment, related components and installation increase faster. The result is that a pumping system that serves an HVAC load using two small pumps is less expensive than buying and installing one large pump.

The emergence of smart buildings was a very welcome development in the sector as it trimmed the simple tasks, simplified communications and created a livelier and more productive office environment.
“As technology comes into play in a workplace, people become more efficient, and time is freed up for more engaging experiences,” said Jenny Soo, Regional Head of Workplace Experience at JLL Asia Pacific in her article posted on the JLL web site. “A smart building and thoughtful workplace experience create an environment that keeps people happy and builds a sense of belonging that can contribute to staff retention.”

Over the last 150 years, development of the electric motor has gone in fits and starts. Initially, all electric motors used direct current (DC). But with the advent of alternating current (AC) and amid the “battle of the currents” between industrial development giants George Westinghouse and Thomas Edison, Nikola Tesla unveiled
his induction motor, a new design that converted the power of alternating electrical current into rotational torque.
It was a game changer. As well as helping Westinghouse win the battle of the currents, it was relatively easy to make, efficient and, crucially, needed no slip rings or brushes to transmit electrical current to the shaft. These parts were the Achilles’ heel of the DC and slip-ring type AC motor, requiring regular maintenance to replace them as they wore out.

As Umair Irfan of Vox media writes in a recent article: The Air Conditioning Paradox, in an environment of more frequent and more dangerous heat waves, “the tactics for cooling can end up worsening the very problem they’re trying to solve if they draw on fossil fuels, or leak refrigerants that are potent heat-trapping gases. And the people who stand to experience the most extreme heat are often those least able to cool off.”

Armstrong recently contributed to the renovation of an historic hospital in the Chicago area. From the early 1900s to the 1980s, Cook County Hospital was a leading healthcare institution. Patients used to travel from countries around the world for the innovative treatments and advanced care available. Many of the people now living in the Chicago area were born at Cook County Hospital, in the 1950s, 60s and 70s. Although the many professionals who served in the hospital were leaders and innovators in the field of healthcare, the building facility and the mechanical systems were not up to the demands of a modern healthcare facility setting. The original design had no cooling system, and the scale of renovations required to bring the facility up to modern standards made the prospect unaffordable. The hospital was closed in the 1980s and stood vacant for almost 30 years.
