For very small buildings, contractors normally "size" and select HVAC systems and equipment. For larger buildings, building services designers and engineers, such as mechanical, architectural, or building services engineers analyze, design, and specify the HVAC systems, and specialty mechanical contractors build and commission them. Building permits and code-compliance inspections of the installations are normally required for all sizes of buildings Thank you so much for sharing with us.. very well appreciated! <a href="http://www.thermalfilters.com/" rel="nofollow">HVAC Filters in Wisconsin</a> In modern buildings the design, installation, and control systems of these functions are integrated into one or more HVAC systems.

For our climate, hot and humid, we only suggest pretreated, dehumidified, fresh air being introduced to the air conditioning system. For us, this requires mechanical, refrigerated, specialty equipment for the treating of outside air. We often control this with a humidity sensor in the living space. Fresh air exchanges reduce the concentration of VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) and when we can achieve a positive pressure inside, we can help keep untreated air infiltration to a minimum.

As to your question about solar, in our area, with our current utility rates, photovoltaic electric production for residential applications is not an effective payback yet. The cost of installation (we are in a hurricane zone for building compliance) and the effective savings vs. the investment make the payback period too long. Strides are being made in the efficacy and affordability but are not there yet. Solar assisted air conditioning through supplemental superheat is getting a little more traction and I'm sure will improve over time. Thanks for your comments. Jason, Glad you liked the article.

It is trully needed. I work for a company that does air conditioning here in California <a href="www.buildunited.com" rel="nofollow">www.buildunited.com </a>and cannot tell you how many people just burn our there systems. Then they wonder why they have a $4000 bill when they need to replace one. Your comment " 5% of all energy produced in the U.S. is used for air conditioning." is just overwelming. I cannot believe this I never heard the statement before. What do you think about solar, do you believe it will really cut the cost or is the cost of the units to large for the average home owner.

Controlling indoor humidity controls numerous indoor air issues. In our water damage restoration business, I always recommend to our customers that some sort of dehumidification (other than their A/C unit) should be used in the summer. An ounce of prevention...

You point out why having a heat load performed for proper sizing is so important for good performance, comfort levels for proper dehumidification, and efficiency. Thanks for pointing out a real-world example of why short cuts don't pay off.

I told him that is like getting new tires and peeling out every time you take off - that constant cycling will bump up the wear and tear on the system a lot quicker.
