What is Energy Decarbonization?

• The energy we utilize in our facilities has different emissions factors.
• Decarbonization is a social, community and business imperative to reduce or offset the emissions required to run operations. 
• Decarbonization commitments, efforts and milestones resonate with ESG investors and public domain stakeholders. 

Energy Saving Strategies

This presentation will explore solutions for energy optimization on existing buildings, based on control system with focus on air distribution, cooling plant, cooling tower optimization and energy recovery for ventilation air flow considering energy and economic impact.”

Why Are Refrigerants Transitioning?

After viewing the presentation, attendees will be able to:

• Summarize the drivers behind the new regulations and legislation for HVAC refrigerants.
• Discuss the actions being taken both globally (via the Kigali Amendment to the Montreal Protocol) and domestically (via the U.S. EPA and Climate Alliance States).
• Discuss the science behind why and how HVAC refrigerants are evolving.
• Compare environmental impact, efficiency and safety of current and
  next-generation refrigerant options.

What is a Linear Expansion Valve Kit and how does it work?

VRF technology is one of the fastest growing spaces in the HVAC industry. It is an efficient solution that can also help buildings reach decarbonization and sustainability goals. Traditionally VRF systems are limited in their type and size of indoor equipment. Through the use of LEV/Air Handler Expansion kits, air handler options can be expanded and provide engineers more flexibility to meet a building’s specific load, air flow, and application requirements.
