With Revit 2020.1, mechanical engineers can perform HVAC systems design and modeling directly in Revit. There is also the ability to use the same Revit model for documentation, design and analysis, eliminating the need to create redundant analytical models.

ASHRAE announced the winners of its 2018 ASHRAE Student Design Competition and Setty Family Foundation Applied Engineering Challenge. The competitions recognize outstanding student design projects and encourages students to become involved in the design of energy-efficient HVAC systems. 

There are dozens of data center cooling methods. But multitenant, shared location data center operator Involta LLC said it believes its HVAC design team has developed one of the industry’s most efficient concepts. 

Engineering Facility Solutions, an Indianapolis-based mechanical engineering firm that focuses on commercial HVAC design, installation and service, has completed the installation of a design-build HVAC project at the new BlueSky Technology Partners headquarters in Noblesville, Indiana.

Students from eight countries competed in the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers’ 2016 Student Design Competition, which put their engineering skills to the test and required them to “think globally, act locally,” officials said.

Three HVAC school students have a chance to show off their skills, tell the world about it, and earn $5,000 toward their educations — thanks to Shurtape.

University of Dayton students designed “supermarkets of the future” as part of the E-Week Innovation Challenge sponsored by HVAC manufacturer Emerson during the university’s Engineers Week in March. 

For the past 50 years, engineers have been “designing” duct systems. Quite often, they were not actually designing the systems, but were sizing duct the duct according to some rule of thumb.

The American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers released its newly revised manual, Geothermal Heating and Cooling: Design of Ground-Source Heat Pump Systems.

A new heating and cooling system was installed at the University of British Columbia’s Centre for Interactive Research on Sustainability in Vancouver, adding to the building’s earth-friendly track record.
