Lynn Bellenger of ASHRAE and Martin Burton of HVCA Discuss Energy Efficiency and the Latest Innovations in HVAC Technology

Online, August 9, 2010 (Newswire.com) - (SAN DIEGO, CA)- Construction Digital, the top digital media source for global construction news and information explores the latest innovations in HVAC technologies with experts Lynn Bellenger, President of ASHRAE and Martin Burton, President of HVCA.

From natural ventilation to dedicated outdoor air systems (DOAS), the next generation of HVAC technology focuses on meeting the needs of energy efficiency while creating a comfortable indoor environment for those who occupy the space.

"It's great to have the most efficient HVAC equipment in the world, but the first thing you want to do is minimize the load so you don't need as much equipment or capacity," said Lynn Bellenger, President of ASHRAE in the article.

"We must focus on good engineering principles and apply our 'energy hierarchy'," says Burton in the article. "This means improving the building 'fabric' as a first step to reduce heat losses; installing and commissioning good control systems to manage the energy performance and balance of the services; before finally considering the use of replacement low and zero carbon technologies. This step-by-step approach will deliver excellent value for money every time."
