| Recovery Act to Accelerate Deployment of Geothermal Heat Pumps
|
| During a visit to Fort Wayne, Ind., where he toured a geothermal-heat-pump (GHP) manufacturing facility, U.S. Energy Secretary Steven Chu announced that nearly $50 million from the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act (ARRA) will help advance commercial deployment of the renewable heating and cooling systems, which use energy from below the Earth's surface to move heat into or away from a home or building. The expanded manufacturing and installation of GHP could aid in the creation of new jobs while reducing the use of fossil fuels. [MORE] |

| Regenerative Dual Duct: An Overview
By MARK S. LENTZ, PE
|
| The energy crisis of the 1970s led industry experts and legislators to conclude that buildings needed more insulation, infiltration required additional control, and ventilation rates had to be reduced. This had the unintended consequence of depressing indoor-air quality (IAQ). By 1989, this was recognized as a major problem, and ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 62, Ventilation for Acceptable Indoor Air Quality, was updated and reissued. The most significant change to the standard involved the priority assigned to ventilation. Before Standard 62-1989's publication, ventilation could be based on occupancy at the system level, and a system could be designed to provide the larger of the minimum outdoor-air or makeup-air requirements to offset exhaust.
