Ever wondered why facility managers lose so much money on unexpected downtimes when chillers in imaging fail?  Expensive downtime due to lost revenue from the scans and costly emergency repairs that burn through budgets put a considerable dent in profitability. Here’s what I’ve learnt: • Unexpected equipment failures lead to significant financial losses and operational headaches. • Facility managers often struggle to balance HVAC/R spend with overall facility operations. • Leveraging technology can be a game-changer in preventing these costly downtimes. If you're a Facility Manager looking to overcome these challenges, grab a complimentary copy of 3-Point Strategy Guide to Manage HVAC/R Spend. This guide will show you three crucial steps to gain visibility over your HVAC/R assets and prevent costly downtimes. Follow the link in the comments below.

Line Isolation Monitors (LIM) check the integrity of the ungrounded power supply and measure the potential for the current to flow from the isolated power supply to the ground. Did you know that if you have the newer style LIMs installed like the one displayed, you do not have to conduct the monthly alarm test because these LIMs are designed to self test periodically. NFPA 99 (2012) provides an exception to the monthly alarm test when the LIM has the self-testing feature available and enabled. In this video, a line-to-ground fault is induced using a simple ground fault tester used to ensure the Total Hazard Current (THC) alarm threshold is working along with the audio and visual alarms. #NFPA99 #LineIsolationMonitor #LifeSafetyGuy #WetProcedure

This is why I love what I do – for those who aren't familiar, part of my core role involves managing influencer marketing relations. Recently, we had the pleasure of collaborating with Gary, a long-term partner, who interviewed our expert Patrick on Co2 refrigerants. Recognizing the power of collaboration, we made the decision to extend the conversation beyond the influencer's platform and onto our own channels. It's all about mutual respect and amplifying each other's voices in the marketing landscape. If you're as passionate about influencer relations in the B2B space or happen to be an HVAC influencer eager to collaborate with brands like Danfoss, let's connect and create something remarkable together. Drop me a message, and let's spark innovation. #influencermarketing #b2binfluencermarketing #hvacinfluencer #archiewrites

𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗘𝗻𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗘𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗽𝗲 𝗘𝗹𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗧𝗼𝗴𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 Building envelopes should harmoniously integrate systems and materials to optimize moisture and energy efficiency management, in order to maintain moisture, energy efficiency, and air quality. When harmonized effectively, the envelope helps keep a building comfortable and reduces energy costs. Ensuring that all elements of the building envelope work together, with compatible materials and systems, is essential. 𝗕𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗳𝗶𝘁𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗘𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗽𝗲 𝗘𝗹𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 When building envelope elements work well together, they create a cohesive barrier that effectively manages heat, moisture, and airflow. Correctly integrated systems can do their job properly. A well-coordinated envelope with high-performance insulation, air sealing, and thermal bridging mitigation measures can minimize heat loss/gain, reduce HVAC loads, and maintain consistent indoor temperatures throughout the year, for lower energy bills, improved thermal comfort, and a healthier indoor environment. 𝐈𝐬𝐬𝐮𝐞𝐬 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐈𝐧𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐬 In addition to providing energy efficiency and the other benefits that harmonious building envelopes offer, issues from incompatible components can lead to premature deterioration of building components, increased maintenance costs, discomfort, and even health hazards. Incompatibility can arise from a mismatch in material properties, such as expansion rates, moisture permeability, or chemical reactions between different materials. For instance, incompatible materials may lead to moisture intrusion, trapped moisture, thermal bridging, air leaks, and chemical off-gassing, which can degrade indoor environmental quality and compromise building materials. Incompatible window systems may compromise thermal performance and air tightness. Compatibility, especially between moisture management and energy efficiency systems, is essential to address these issues effectively. In a building envelope system, proper coordination of insulation systems and materials is essential for establishing controlled layers. This helps manage moisture and enable better energy efficiency, leading to more uniform indoor temperatures and improved HVAC performance. Inadequate coordination between the roofing and façade systems may lead to water infiltration at junctions, causing leaks, water damage, mould, and rot. Insulation with high vapour resistance can also trap moisture, causing further water-related problems. Whenever materials and systems are not chosen carefully for their ability to work with the other components in the envelope, issues arise. Integrating and coordinating moisture management and energy efficiency measures throughout the building envelope optimally is essential for good performance and long-term sustainability.

Building schedulers can optimize energy use and cut costs with room usage calendars integrated into building automation systems. A recent case study at Appalachian State University shows how a calendar-based HVAC scheduling tool reduced energy use by up to 40% while maintaining comfort.

I had another insightful call yesterday with a critical facility manager who highlighted how crucial his RTUs, and chillers were for his server rooms. Through our conversation, I realized there are three key strategies every Critical Facility Manager should know to boost operational efficiency and minimize unexpected downtime. Don't miss out on these valuable lessons. • The facility manager spoke about the expensive downtimes and emergency repairs to reactively address the HVAC/R equipment issues. • He also shared having a lean staff and how technology can help to provide component insights to himself and his team. This reflects a growing trend among Critical Facility Managers to harness tech for operational efficiency. • Then he spoke about the "stress on his team members" who must get to the site irrespective of extreme weather conditions or drive distances just to get to a facility to diagnose issue. If you're a Critical Facility Manager looking to overcome the challenge of unplanned downtime and boost your facility's operational efficiency, grab a complimentary copy of my 3-Point Strategy Guide to Reduce Unplanned HVAC/R Downtime by following the link in the comments below.

Numbers rarely tell the whole story. Even though the HVAC industry is growing at a 3.9% CAGR, the reality is much more complex. From rising costs to labor shortages, HVAC contractors are facing challenges. This article looks at effective strategies for turning these trends into opportunities: https://lnkd.in/e_b88amK #HVACContractors #HVACIndustry #HVACNews

#HVAC Company Owners! Did you catch our Webinar last month called "The Band-Aid Season"? If not, you can now catch the Webinar Replay where myself, Joe Medosch, and Ben Reed dive into the scary outcomes that can happen during busy season. You'll find in many cases, measureQuick can be one of the tools you can leverage to overcome some of these profit drains. Although, Step 1 is being aware that these things are happening.

Excellent description and presentation of a refrigerant DX cycle in any AC, Heat Pump, Refrigeration (includes your domestic refrigerator/freezer), Car, Train AC, etc where safety & efficiency are governed by ISO 817 & ASHRAE 34. The effect on the environment is operation-efficient energy transfer and safety in the event of a rare leak (hence the A1 class). Any domestic/commercial application where people congregate A1 class non-flammable, non-toxic or non-explosive is a must. There are over 90 A1 class refrigerants since 1928 (1st introduction of CFC (A1 class) in domestic application. https://lnkd.in/eCjv_ckf
