Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) in Data Centers Since we’re in the digital mood today, here’s a less-than-140-character introduction to computational fluid dynamics (CFD): CFD takes a very complex fluid dynamics problem and breaks it up into tiny ... Read Post
Data Center Energy Consumption The digital revolution is here, and data is taking over. Human existence is being condensed, chronicled, and calculated, one bit at a time, in our servers and tapes. From several perspectives this is ... Read Post
The Decreasing Cost of Solar Photovoltaic Systems It's a common belief in some corners that photovoltaic (PV) systems are "incredibly expensive" and "have a payback of more than 25 years." While in many regions of the country, the cost of power ... Read Post
Three Questions You Might Have About Building Sciences What is computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling? Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling uses numerical methods to model almost any phenomena related to fluid flow and heat and mass transfer. ... Read Post
CHP – Today’s Major Player in the U.S. Energy Portfolio A series of well-known facts: 1. Turbines and engines burn fuel to make electricity. 2. Burning fuel generates a lot of heat. 3. Heat is a useful source of energy. Read Post
The Rise of Energy Districts Our nation’s electrical grid is an awesome creation that has transformed the landscape and brought prosperity to hundreds of millions. As an engineer, I am awed just thinking about the sheer scale of ... Read Post
At the Forefront of Sustainability - Carbon Accounting LEED and sustainability were once newly discussed concepts that a handful of our clients were exploring; now they are at the forefront of our design process. Today, there is a new design process ... Read Post
Asset Protection Many of us have seen the video of the aircraft hangar accidentally filled with white, billowy, high-expansion fire suppression foam during a hangar system test that ran too long. Yes, I am referring ... Read Post
