SEER vs. EER

What is SEER?SEER- Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio This measures how efficiently an HVAC system will operate over an entire cooling season, as opposed to a single outdoor temperature. As with EER, a higher SEER reflects a more efficient cooling system. SEER is...

Wind Load Calculations

Why do some counties require wind load calculations from engineers? Historically, building codes change in response to lessons learned after catastrophic events, such as hurricanes. The aftermath of these events form the basis for changes in today’s building codes. It...

Float Switches

Did you know that it is a Florida Building Code requirement to install safety float switches on new rooftop unit replacements? Most customers know that condensate float switches are installed in air handlers inside buildings. It is now mandatory to install float...

CO2 Based DCV

Building codes require that a minimum amount of fresh air be introduced into a facility to ensure Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) standards. That minimum amount of fresh air is derived by using a formula which takes into consideration the maximum amount of occupants and the...

Commissioning

Commissioning is a process of building system optimization that begins in the design phase and continues throughout the operation and occupation of a facility. Commissioning increases system efficiencies and reduces maintenance costs.Maximizing efficiency is a crucial...
