Modern Buildings

A new design allows modern buildings to have their heating and cooling in one place. The water cooled chiller by Carrier have enabled this possibility. As air conditioning needs climb in the marketplace the need for more efficient methods has been the driving force for the manufacturer. The growing need for air conditioning while reducing energy consumption and associated carbon-dioxide emissions drives the development programmes of major companies. The new chillers that can also offer heat have been in development for a few years now and have finally been submitted for testing and been approved for use.

As all the gear for building-services systems is gets more efficient. That principle applies to boilers, electric motors, lamps — and VRF air conditioning. It all sounds good but one needs to make sure that just because you purchased and installed the most efficient parts you can find that they all work well together to make the system as a whole the most efficient it can be. A common problem is the positioning of outdoor units, which are often in confined spaces or positioned close to other heat sources, increasing the immediate local temperature and, as a direct consequence, their efficiency. Make sure to plan out any system properly for maximum efficiency.

Over the past few years everyone has been talking about lowering the carbon emissions in modern buildings. Over the last decade we have seen commercial heating systems go greener and greener with the wide spread use of condensing boiler technology and the development and introduction of low- and zero-carbon solutions, together with improvements in building design and materials such as insulation. It has made sense on many levels for both consumers and manufacturers to go green as it often saves money and resources in the long run. Any new building construction takes this all into account as they build which should put a stop to all the new regulations the government is always trying to mandate.
