HVAC - Chilling Systems
A chiller can be generally classified as a refrigeration system that uses either a vapor compression or absorption cycle to cool. Both the absorption and the mechanical compression systems have the evaporation and condensation of a refrigerant in common. In both systems, the refrigerant evaporates at low pressure to absorb heat and then condenses at higher pressure to reject heat to the

HVAC - Hydronic Systems
The circulation of hot water or chilled water to provide heat or to cool spaces is known as a ? Hydronic? system. It is a closed system where cold or hot water/steam runs through a heat exchanger and air is then blown over the heat exchanger to achieve the desired room conditions. Traditionally, HVAC systems are designed as All-Air Systems, which means that air is cooled at one location and is

Creating Successful Bid Proposals
Engineers routinely design and bid projects. The Bid Proposal Form, which summarizes how the contractor will be compensated, becomes a major factor in the tone for the working relationship between the engineer/owner and the contractor. By considering variations on how items can be measured and paid, the engineer may create more win-win conditions between the owner and staff, the contractor and the

Change Orders Block 3 - How to Execute a Change Order
In this course - the third in a 3-part series on Change Orders - we examine how to execute a change order. Once a change is identified and is found to really be a change, not just a clarification, then a change order will need to be processed. Before a project is initiated, the format for change orders should be defined. The engineer and architect should also identify in the contract documents the
