Are your building’s lights or HVAC systems operating in ways they shouldn’t? These typical signs of a misbehaving building are costing you money. Find out how to keep tabs on your building’s performance in this article by IMEG Commissioning Team Leader Lincoln Pearce.
Specifying a chilled beam system to cool a masonry building more than 100 years old — with operable windows in a humid climate — is a risky proposition. This HVAC case study by IMEG’s Lincoln Pearce demonstrates how such an approach can be successful if handled properly from design, operation, and occupant education standpoints.
