Title: Designing Beyond the Setpoint: How Performance Envelopes and Digital Platforms enable adaptive, efficient hydronic systems.
Authors: Sharma, Pratik1
Source: ASHRAE Journal. May2026, Vol. 68 Issue 5, p68-69. 2p.
Subjects: Digital control systems, Variable speed drives, Carbon emissions, Intelligent buildings, System analysis, Energy consumption, Heating & ventilation industry, Sustainable engineering
Abstract: The article focuses on the growing challenges faced by consulting engineers designing HVAC systems, who must now balance demands for lower energy use, reduced carbon emissions, and long-term system reliability in increasingly complex building environments. Topics include the impact of advanced digital controls and variable-speed equipment, the integration of interconnected building systems, and the need for improved design strategies to meet sustainability and performance goals.
