This session provides facility managers with an understanding of the state-of-the-art heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) technologies that have a proven record and how they will support their sites' energy and water conservation goals. The session will be organized around two components of HVAC systems:

  • Resilient chillers with the ability to continue operating when the cooling tower is compromised.
  • Building automation systems that offer the ability to upgrade pneumatic controls to DDC functionality without running more wire.
