The decarbonization of heating hot water (HHW) systems is an important and necessary step in the building industry’s effort to combat climate change. Existing heating hot water systems can be ...

Conventional district heating systems are generally designed around the load. However, an alternate approach would be to design around potential heat sources, including the waste heat from power ...

Centralised electric water heating systems often begin with the concept of using immersion heaters within a large storage ...

Nelson Mechanical Design was asked to investigate an underperforming chilled water system at a large home overlooking the south coast of Martha’s Vineyard. The installing contractor had been let go ...

Cornell University is undergoing a major transition in its heating infrastructure, converting the current steam heating system to a more efficient hot water network as a part of its 2035 goal of ...

Last month I wrote about early steam heating and how experimentation led to discovery, which led to new products or piping techniques. This time I will be writing about the early days of gravity hot ...

Aggressive decarbonization targets set by government agencies and some owners are requiring the industry to formulate strategies to reduce the embodied and operational carbon in the built environment.
