Video: New-School HVAC Approach Improves Comfort and Air Quality for K-12 Students
When a 25-year-old HVAC system increased energy costs and negatively impacted the learning environment for students and teachers, the administrators at Monument School in Monument, Ore., sought a healthier and more efficient solution. Hear from school and utility staff members on how the very high efficiency DOAS approach to HVAC design dramatically reduced the rural K-12 school’s monthly energy costs, significantly improved their air quality, reduced viral spread, and provided a far more comfortable and productive learning environment.

The new construction process for commercial and industrial buildings is the perfect time to explore how water will move for use throughout the facility. Consider using a smart pump. These innovative pumps come pre-packaged with built-in controls to help get water where it’s needed, increase overall system efficiency, mitigate wasted energy—which can add to your operational costs—and even allow for remote monitoring and performance adjustments. Download this fact sheet to learn more about the product benefits, what to look for when purchasing a new smart pump, and how to read the Commercial and Industrial Energy Rating Label.

With the ever-increasing environmental impacts of local pollution, extreme weather events and wildfires, there is a necessity for resilient, flexible, and extremely efficient HVAC systems. A very high efficiency (VHE) approach to DOAS maximizes energy efficiency by decoupling ventilation air from comfort conditioning, including air-to-air heat recovery, right-sizing of a high efficiency heating and cooling system and minimizing fan power.
