• Thermographic Inspection

  Q&A on Infrared Cameras

  Commonly asked questions about thermographic detection devices or infrared cameras.
• Thermographic Inspection

  How to Carry Out Thermal Inspections

  Five basic but essential steps to better thermal inspections.
• Thermographic Inspection

  How Thermographic Inspections Work

  Energy auditors may use thermography -- or infrared scanning -- to detect thermal defects and air leakage in building envelopes.
• Ventilation

  Impacts of Building Ventilation on Health and Performance

  Ventilation is the supply of outdoor air to a building. Ventilation rates vary considerably from building to building and over time within individual buildings. Throughout the normal range of ventilation rates encountered in buildings, increased ventilation rates are, on average, associated, with fewer adverse health effects and with superior work and school performance.
• Energy Efficiency

  New Guidance Released to Help Schools Earn Top Marks in Energy Efficiency

  "Research demonstrates that the quality of the physical environment affects student performance...An environment that includes appropriate lighting, sound, temperature, humidity, cleanliness, color and air quality can help students learn better. In many cases, improving these attributes can also reduce energy use."
• VOC Sensors

  Beyond CO2: Sensing VOCs in Indoor Air Protects Health, Saves Energy

  VOC sensors optimize ventilation to help ensure better air quality for occupants and reduce utility costs for building owners.
• Healthy Schools

  Environmental Management for High Performance Schools

  Without a long-term commitment to comprehensive environmental management, not even the best high performance school can hope to stay high performing for very long.
• LEED

  LEED for Healthcare Launched at CleanMed Conference

  First-of-its-kind green healthcare rating system distinguishes construction of high-performance healthcare facilities.
• HVAC

  HVAC Energy-Saving Measures Compatible With IAQ

  Data from many facilities show that a properly commissioned building with controls and equipment functioning properly can save 5%-15% in total building energy cost. With a little knowledge this can be done without compromising IAQ.
• CO2 Levels

  Why Measure Carbon Dioxide Inside Buildings?

  Current technology allows easy and relatively inexpensive measurement of carbon dioxide (CO2 ) as an indicator to help ensure ventilation systems (for high density occupancy zones) are delivering the recommended minimum quantities of outside air to the building’s occupants.
• Sustainability

  Five Sustainability Predictions for 2011

  The U.S. sustainable business market—referring to the development, manufacture, and sale of products that help us to conserve fuel, electricity, water, and natural resources and to reduce carbon emissions and greenhouse gases—will increase dramatically in 2011, making the past two years look like “baby steps.”
• Sustainability

  Trend Towards Sustainability Grows

  Five positive sustainable trends in the U.S. you may not have noticed.
• Healthy Facility

  Sustainability initiatives can benefit the bottom line, worker health and safety, and the environment

  Green the plant logically: Not every initiative will have a positive, sustainable return.
