Four industry experts join the Journal podcast to discuss the challenges of reducing operational and embodied carbon in building cooling systems. Space cooling accounted for nearly 16% of the global building sector’s electricity consumption in 2020 according to the International Energy Agency. Global demand for space cooling and the energy needed to provide it will continue to grow for decades to come, with the demand for cooling expected to triple by 2050. This podcast, sponsored by Daikin, dis...

Covid has radically altered the way we work, with a hybrid approach seeing people spending as much time working from home as in the office. For companies to persuade people back to the office workplace and attract new talent, they now have to offer attractive, comfortable spaces that provide opportunities for creativity and collaboration. Lighting has a large part to play in making people feel healthy and comfortable at work, whether it’s through human human-centric lighting or access to dayligh...

How significant returns can be generated by upgrading building services infrastructure to achieve carbon savings and operational efficiencies The increased focus on whole life carbon in the design and procurement of buildings is having a seismic effect on services procurement and design. The carbon cost of embodied energy in existing buildings is leading many developers to refurbish their buildings rather than build from scratch. This podcast, sponsored by Grundfos, looks at the growing influenc...

In this podcast, sponsored by Grundfos Pumps, we discuss the benefits of distributed pumping in HVAC applications. Danny Staerk and Glenn Miller look at how this approach helps save energy, simplifies balancing and reduces commissioning time. The Grundfos distributed pumping solution distributes chilled water in HVAC applications without the need for pressure-regulating valves. Staerk and Miller explain how savings of up to 54% in pump energy can be achieved by replacing throttling valves with i...

In this podcast, sponsored by Grundfos Pumps, we discuss the challenges and opportunities of realising the government’s ambition of significantly growing heat networks in the UK. The Committee on Climate Change has recommended that up to 18% of heat demand should be met by heat networks by 2050, and it has emphasised the importance of connecting non-domestic buildings to networks. It states that these should account for 53% of total heat delivered by heat networks by 2050. Grundfos’ Glenn Miller...
