Cambridge Sound Management’s Oasis QT uses a narrow range of frequencies to mask speech in open-office settings where privacy is necessary, such as call centers or banks.
Extra-Pak coils from EVAPCO provide the highest amount of ice build per foot of tube on the market, creating colder water that provides higher system efficiencies. Storing thermal cooling energy generated during off-peak electrical-demand periods for large buildings, industrial process, and data centers can contribute to and potentially meet cooling requirements.
Greenleaf’s Cambia chemical-free preserved wood can be used for any above-ground application. High-temperature processing in low-pressure, low-oxygen conditions stabilizes the wood and renders it indigestible by microbes and insects.
Instead of compressors and refrigerants, the OASys from Speakman CRS uses direct and indirect evaporative cooling to provide energy-efficient air-conditioning. It works by running fresh outdoor air through a heat exchanger, followed by a water-saturated membrane that adds humidity and provides filtration.
The Dyson Airblade is the first, and so far the only, electric hand dryer to be certified by the National Sanitation Foundation under its Hygienic Commercial Hand Dryers protocol P335. The touch-free, 1400-watt unit uses highly pressurized air to blow water off users’ hands during an energy-saving 12-second average cycle, operating at about 84 dB.
Plastic tubes and pipes are increasingly being used in civil engineering as well as in domestic technology. Infrared emitters from Heraeus Noblelight help to stress relieve hoses, bend tubes and pipes or form sleeves. They transfer energy in a contact-free manner and generate heat primarily in the material. As a result, heating takes place uniformly and rapidly. This saves energy and space and the heating process can be easily automated. Heraeus...
First National Bank is one of the first banks in the country to receive USGBC LEED Certification for it’s environmentally friendly design. Upon initial occupancy, the 3,500 sf facility was the second smallest commercial building in the country to be certified showcasing the benefits of sustainabile design in the small business environemnt.
WarmCO2 is set to become a by-word for sustainable, cost effective and energy efficient solutions for Dutch greenhouse horticulture. In the Netherlands, greenhouse horticulture is the most intensive form of crop production and is of major economic importance to communities and to the country as a whole. However, the industry’s heavy reliance on fossil fuels for greenhouse heating presents both a cost and a CO2 emissions reduction challenge for...
Kyocera Solar, Inc. and American Solar Electric, Inc. today announced that a recently unveiled 19.2 kilowatt solar electric power system has tested at 106 percent of expected projections. The new system — independently tested by Phoenix’s utility company, Salt River Project (SRP) — is installed at the Integrity Building Corp (IBC) headquarters in Mesa, Ariz., and has allowed the small business to save thousands of dollars on electricity. Designed...
When Staatlich Bad Meinberger Mineralbrunnen GmbH & Co. KG opened a second high-performance bottling plant and an extended warehouse, one of their foremost concerns was the search for a durable, customizable door solution. High safety standards and therefore speed were requirements for the doors its employees, forklift drivers, and other vehicles would frequently be using. When the company introduced the RapidRoll 300® Plus MCC from Albany Door...
