Trane ENL: Impact of DOAS Dew Point on Space Humidity, Morrisville
Dedicated outdoor-air systems (DOAS) are used in a variety of building types to provide ventilation; and when the outdoor air is dehumidified, a DOAS can help prevent high space humidity levels. But many of the systems designed and installed today are not dehumidifying adequately. This ENL will demonstrate how space humidity levels are affected by the DOAS discharge-air conditions, at both full load and part load. Register Now

Trane ENL: Indoor Agriculture: HVAC System Design Considerations, Morrisvillle
Growing plants indoors has gained in popularity, but conditioning spaces for plants instead of humans introduces new challenges. This ENL will discuss plants, the dehumidification challenges they pose, and how precision cooling for indoor agriculture is different compared to comfort cooling. The ENL will also discuss common air- and waterside system configurations used to maintain space conditions to ensure a healthy crop. Register Now

Trane ENL: Electrification (Decarbonization), Morrisville
Many municipalities throughout the United States are taking action to reduce their carbon emissions. One of the tactics they are using that effects the HVAC industry is the reduction, or removal, of natural gas for heating. This means our Industry will face the challenge of heating our buildings with electric heat. This ENL will cover the motivation to electrify, areas currently effected by this trend, and potential systems to meet electrification needs. Register Now
