Artificial Intelligence (AI) is integrated into many facets of everyday life. From virtual assistants, chatbots, navigation apps, fraud detection, and smartphone features like facial recognition, AI is becoming a regular part of our day-to-day. AI is not a new technology, but the progression of machine-learning algorithms, a wealth of data, and the...
A Modular Central Plant with Steam Boilers
Modular Central Plants (MCP) with steam boilers are becoming a lost art to design and install. The engineer and general contractor (both Burns & McDonnell) appreciate modular solutions and the steam expertise Systecon can offer.
As part of its goal to achieve carbon neutrality by 2046, Princeton University sought to utilize geo-exchange technology. Beginning in 2012, the university started assessing its facilities and how to reduce its carbon footprint.
Following a study was a master plan to upgrade Princeton's systems, improve reliability and resiliency, replace aging eq...
Reshoring Manufacturing - An Upward Trend
With companies looking to manage supply chains, reduce risk, and improve sustainability, reshoring is an upward trend. Sometimes called onshoring, backshoring, or inshoring, reshoring refers to bringing manufacturing and services back to North America from overseas. It is the opposite of offshoring (manufacturing goods overseas to reduce manufactur...
Embarking on a major expansion, one U.S. pet food manufacturer chose a modular utility solution for its existing production facility. The new production space required: 400 TR chilled water, hydronic pumping and controls, compressed air system, and a custom enclosure.
With its design-build services, Systecon provided a custom modular central utili...
Building electrification is a pathway for reducing our carbon footprint. Also known as “building decarbonization,” building electrification is the shift from using fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas, to electricity, for heating and cooking. According to the US Environmental Protection Agency, a majority of residential and commercial build...
How Modular Helped District Cooling System Expansion
Austin Energy, the community-owned utility company that services downtown Austin needed to quickly expand their district cooling capacity to meet the increased demand for chilled water services in response to the area's rapid growth.
In partnership with Texas AirSystems, Systecon has helped with Austin’s district cooling system expansion by provid...
Using Modular to Build for the Future
Modular construction is a proven process that’s been used in the HVAC&R industry for decades. Read more about the history, modernization and advancements of modular utility systems in Using Modular to Build for the Future, an article written by Systecon, published in ASHRAE Journal’s June 2020 issue.
Why Modular is Perfect for Multi-Phase Builds
By their very nature, modular systems are easily separated and reassembled. This makes expansion and multi-phase builds easy - much easier than with traditional, field-built systems. That’s a major advantage to consider when building a new central plant. Especially if you’re planning for future growt...
When Maximum Efficiency is Required
Think modular utility systems will limit the level of efficiency that your project can achieve? It’s actually quite the opposite. Engineers and designers of the most innovative projects, pushing the boundaries of
