Carrier Donates to Georgia Northwestern HVAC Program

The Chattanooga based firm, Carrier Enterprise, has donated funds to assist with training students attending Northwestern Technical College in Georgia. Recently, the Tennessee firm provided a Carrier touch-screen Wi-Fi thermostat to the college as well. Carrier gave the college more than $10,000 worth of equipment and training. This will be used for the ventilation, air conditioning and heating program taught at the college’s campus in Walker County, Rock Spring. It has been widely reported that Carrier donates to Georgia Northwestern HVAC program, as a way of training the next generation of techs to service the Infinity air Conditioning System. Undoubtedly, this system is among Carrier’s best models. Another benefit of this training arrangement, is that when industry representatives visit the college, students get the chance to network with them. Hence, students learn the right information and meet the right people. In addition, at its’ Chattanooga premises, Carrier trains students of the college free of charge on how to service its’ products. Inspired by Willis Carrier’s early twentieth century work on air conditioning systems, Carrier is a leading global brand in refrigeration, air conditioning and heating solutions.

Doe reports energy saving tips

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and national laboratories have collaborated and disclosed documents describing detailed ways to accomplish up to a 50% energy savings in various commercial building settings. DOE focused on general merchandise, grocery store, lodging, and medium-sized offices, for their research. The documents serve as a business guide to energy conservation. Energy efficiency can be attained by targeting architecture and engineering techniques used in the building process and continuing repair services. The Commercial Building Energy Alliances will also receive the energy saving data and share it with owners and operators accordingly. The DOE objectives revolve around maintaining an eco-friendly environment, saving on energy costs, and passing along all useful information.

Air Conditioning Retrofit Project Nearly Complete

Alabama’s Cullman county schools are currently undergoing a heating, air conditioning, and lighting hardware overhaul. The energy conservation project has been managed by Chevron Energy solutions at an approximate cost of $13 million. Chevron has worked diligently to supply every county school with updated air conditioning and heating units, along with energy-efficient lighting. The school district and Chevron have come to an agreement regarding payment. With the projected energy bill savings, Cullman county will be able reimburse Chevron Energy. Though the retrofitting took longer than expected, the energy-saving results should outweigh any school inconvenience. Quarterly energy bill analysis will assist Cullman county and Chevron to assess the actual effectiveness of the program.

3 Tips for Comparing New Air Conditioning Systems

Regardless if you are a believer in global warming caused by man or not, it is common knowledge that using older electrical air conditioning systems which are not that energy efficient rather than the new systems is a waste in resources and money. Homeowners can become more energy efficient simply by getting rid of their older outdated systems and replacing them with newer models. Benefits of Modern AC Systems In the last couple decades, modern air conditioning systems have changed a great deal. Heated air from a heat pump system or furnace or air conditioning cooled air is forced through air ducts or vents, and evenly distributed throughout the home. One of the most cost effective and efficient ways to heat or cool your entire home is through a central HVAC system. There is advanced, integrated technology built into modern AC units to provide you with ultra-quiet operation and top-notch service. The modern AC systems are smarter looking and can be found in many shapes and sizes. They come with a filtration system that is improved and is set in place to eliminate harmful particles, which is thought to cause hay fever, asthma and other unhealthy conditions. If you are

Air conditioning alert: global alliance and iiar unite

The recent annual IIAR Conference and Exhibition proved promising for two major temperature-controlled industry leaders. A partnership was formed between Global Cold Chain Alliance (GCCA) and the International Institute of Ammonia Refrigeration (IIAR) in an attempt to become the largest team for industrial application of natural refrigeration. A Memorandum of Understanding was signed in the presence of GCCA president, Bill Hudson, and IIAR Chair Brian Marriott. Improving the cold storage end is the ultimate goal behind the newfound partnership. Cold storage warehouses require improved technology to effectively feed the hungry. Ammonia refrigeration could aid in this effort, particularly in third world countries. International Institute of Ammonia Refrigeration and Global Cold Chain Alliance agree that maintaining individuality, while working together towards the advancement of refrigeration resources is their main objective.

Air conditioning expo heats up

Mark your calendars! The 2011 Air Conditioning, Heating, Refrigeration Exposition (AHR) is already slated to be the largest air conditioning event in the company’s 80 years of shows. Las Vegas will once again host the AHR Expo and with over 1,300 companies already scheduled for the January 31st through February 2nd event, next year’s show could very well make history. The pumped-up venue stems from the public outcry for increased environmentally friendly air conditioning and heating equipment and a greater selection of energy savings results. The AHR Expo plans to not disappoint. AHR already tops the air conditioning and heating show charts, but organizers are looking to expand even more, by presenting consumers and business owners with a wide variety of options. Over 120 countries have expressed interest in attending next year’s event. The American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) and the Air Conditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration Institute (AHRI), co-sponsor the event and have touted the 2011 AHR Expo as being one for the record books.

Inventors Devise New Way To Maintain a Comfortable Body Temperature

Most people’s first instinct when they feel too warm or too cool in their home is to head for the thermostat on their central heating or air conditioning system. Inventors at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), however, have produced a new device which could help people maintain a comfortable body temperature without having to leave their seat. The idea of a personal cooling device would probably sound like science fiction to most people. The MIT team, though, have managed to produce a wristband device which can cool or warm someone according to their own personal preference. The new device also impressed judges in the MITs Making and Designing Materials Engineering Competition (MADMEC), where the device was considered worth a $10,000 prize. Known as Wristify, the appliance could soon be heading onto the mass market. Before that point, though, there is still much work to be done. The four MIT alumni and students who designed the device were largely motivated by what they saw as the mounting financial and social costs of energy consumption in the United States. A great deal of the energy used today, perhaps as much as 16.5 percent of the USA’s total energy usage, is devoted

Study Examines Benefits of the Use of Geothermal Energy in Non-Commercial Buildings

The evolving geothermal heating and cooling technologies could be the wave of the future in cutting the cost of operating commercial and other non-residential buildings once businesses can get past the initial cost, according to a study by Frost & Sullivan, a market research and analysis firm in San Antonio, TX. The market already is expanding. It received revenue of $120.8 million in 2012, and the Geothermal Market is expected to reach $147.6 Million by 2017, thanks in part to laws in Canada and the U.S. promoting geothermal and other renewable energy sources. Laws already on the books include the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 and the earlier Energy Policy Act of 2005. The study looked at the period between 2009 and 2017 and identifies geothermal heat pumps, both open and closed loop designs, as primary segments of the geothermal market on the North American continent. The Higher Energy Efficiency of Geothermal Heating and Cooling has long been apparent. The ground at about 10 feet deep is warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer than the air above it, with a constant temperature of between 50 and 60 degrees Fahrenheit. Geothermal heat pumps take advantage of
