MIT researchers develop inexpensive way to perform full lifecycle analysis of design choices as buildings are being planned Typically, when architects or engineers design a new building, it’s only at the end of the process — if ever — that a lifecycle analysis of the building’s environmental impact is carried out. And by then, it may be too late to… Read more »

Why Oil in Chillers is Old School Oil as a lubricant in a chiller makes for a significantly more complicated machine. There is a complete system that is designed and maintained to allow oil to lubricate a chiller. Check out this video which explains how the oil needs to supplied and maintained in a typical… Read more »
Energy Efficiency at its Peak! System performance and energy recovery rates of 70-90% are achieved with the new generation “Eiger” System Controller! The special design of Konvekta’s high-performance coils with headers on both sides of the coil ensures cross-counter flow and achieves almost pure counter current. This is a prerequisite for high energy efficiency in… Read more »
Air Handling Units — Replace or Refurbish? Good Question. Here in New England, we have lots of buildings with old and deteriorating air handling units. In many cases, the clear choice may be to replace the old AHU’s; however, there are many reasons, not just financial, as to why repair or refurbishment alternatives should also… Read more »
We do our best to design the most Energy Efficient HVAC systems. If possible, we will always pick a Direct Drive Fan over a Belt Driven Fan for a Custom Air Handling Unit. Here are 4 Reasons why we choose Direct Drive Fans: Energy Savings: Eliminating drive losses from the belt and pulley can improve… Read more »
Custom Air Handling Units (AHU’s) Here’s a look at why engineers and owners choose to use them. Quality: Custom Air Handling Units are built to last longer. They have significantly better fit and finish. Units fabricated from all aluminum bases and casings, like those from Air Enterprises, have a similar life as a building (50… Read more »
