Heat pumps offer a promising low-carbon alternative to fossil fuel heating for many homes in the UK. They provide highly efficient domestic heating and significant energy savings when replacing oil or gas central heating, reducing carbon emissions and in some cases saving money on fuel bills. The two types of heat pumps – Air Source (ASHP) and Ground Source (GSHP) – work in a very similar way, but in practice there are many differences for both installers and consumers to consider....

The Boiler Upgrade Scheme was announced in October 2021 as part of the Heat and Buildings Strategy – the government’s plan to decarbonize homes and workplaces across the UK. Heating accounts for almost a quarter of all UK carbon emissions and the Boiler Upgrade Scheme is intended to be the first step away from gas and oil boilers towards mass deployment of low carbon heating systems. The government has set out targets to ensure all new heating systems in the UK are low carbon by 20...

Homes should provide a healthy sanctuary for their occupants, and HVAC can achieve that goal by providing better air quality and a constant flow of fresh and filtered air. However, better air quality comes at a cost. “We have a lot of solutions to improve air quality, but we have to be able to communicate the value of indoor air quality (IAQ) to get people to pay the added cost,” says Panasonic’s IAQ expert, Ken Nelson. “Anything that raises the price of a house diminish...

Shared walls, or party walls, between multifamily homes are an issue for builders and homeowners alike. They are more difficult to air seal effectively, leading to issues when trying to meet code. Sealing party wall leaks is called compartmentalization. And research from the University of Toronto shows up to 20 percent of a neighbors’ air can transfer into a home through a shared wall. That’s why sounds and smells seem to infiltrate multifamily homes so easily.  Solution...

When it comes to measuring the airtightness of a home or building, and how much air is leaking into it, a blower door test is the universally accepted method. It’s why AeroBarrier uses the test as part of its air sealing process. A structure’s air change rate, or ACH, establishes a baseline of leakage before air sealing. During the AeroBarrier process, their software monitors the ACH as the technology seals leaks in the building envelope and dials in a precise level of airtight...

For data centers close to residential areas, compliance with noise regulations is extremely important. Air conditioning systems can be problematic in this respect. Chillers with a cooling capacity of 500kW, in particular, often generate a lot of noise during operation. Here, low-noise solutions from STULZ ensure the necessary noise reduction. Data center operators For a data center running in continuous operation 24/7 all year round, there is genuine cause for concern As long as data centers...

Closed-circuit cooling via the raised floors allows the data center air conditioning to constantly satisfy the ever-present demands for low running costs, high flexibility and redundancy with a well-proven system. However, in most cases, the air is not regulated as it exits the raised floor. Here, sensor-controlled raised floor grilles with a variable opening angle are an essential element for restricting the energy consumption of the air conditioning system. Actual airflow rate As a rule, th...
