Cooling water circuits and solar systems are often filled with water-glycol mixtures for frost protection reasons. Propylene glycol added to the water mainly serves as frost protection. The propylene glycol also provides a certain degree of corrosion protection. Due to the addition of propylene glycol, the viscosity of the circulation fluid used increases slightly and the air separation capacity ...
As with heating, this centralised model can be applied to cooling. This is known as central cooling networks or District Cooling (DC). And, of course, systems combining both are also beginning to be deployed. District heating and District Cooling structures To understand how a ...

For instance, you can replace outdated machinery with new ones and include more energy-efficient models, such as energy-efficient lighting, heating, and cooling systems. Of course, investing in energy-efficient equipment may require a significant upfront cost, but it can result in long-term savings in energy costs. ...
In 2016, the European Commission noted that around half of the European Union's final energy consumption was for heating and cooling buildings, of which 45% was attributed to the residential sector. ...
Utilities in deregulated markets are under more pressure than ever to attract and retain customers and are therefore more motivated to consider new technologies to extend their energy services offering. In our previous articles regarding the Future-Proof Utility, we discussed digitalisation and client loyalty as a push for innovation, and the importance of a customer-centric approach. While both ...
Presently, the world is combatting the third wave of coronavirus. After two consistent years of living with the virus, people have witnessed large scale setbacks across several fronts, be it a financial crisis, unemployment, or deterioration of healthcare facilities. However, on the other hand, it has also brought multiple global issues to the forefront like climate change, the need for ...
Long before there was such a thing as “influencers,” Interior Designers had influence over their client’s purchasing decisions. For environmentally-focused designers like Jo Alcorn, founder and principal of Alcorn Home, smart home technology is part of the picture, in steering homeowners towards a sustainable ...
There’s an old environmentalist’s mantra about thinking globally but acting locally. Several homebuilders, including Woodbridge, Ont.-based Country Homes are putting that practice into place by committing to build sustainable housing using products like Schneider Electric’s Wiser Energy Smart Home Monitor to help achieve their goals. A smart home is a sustainable ...
