In the opinion of registered nurses polled by National Nurses United (NNU), 80% of the respondents believed that hospitals in the United States are insufficiently prepared to deal with potentially infectious diseases such as Ebola. One countermeasure to become better prepared suggested by the 700 polled registered nurses is to “properly equip isolation rooms to assure patient, visitor and staff safety.”

GIS (Geographic Information Systems) believe it or not will make just about any HVAC professional's job easier. Aerial photography became extremely useful to contractors when progress ofhttp://blog.setra.com/gis-can-make-hvac-jobs-easier/2014/10/02 projects could be shown through pictures. Eventually other job functions caught onto this resource that had been available for years. 

Have you ever wondered why AC units can't produce consistent airflow? Or even what's the root of system inefficiencies? One of the main causes is that a monitoring solution isn't in place or isn't working properly.

With different equipment comes different air pressure testing techniques for measurement. But are you sure if your procedures up to date? This article breaks down specifically what methods need to be implemented for different scenarios. These new steps in calculating

Take action and become a company that practices Lean Six Sigma by:

• Having repetition/replication throughout different supply chains
• Being cross-functional
• Using technology where ever possible
• Encouraging positive reinforcement

One obstacle that's in the way of adopting this lean system is a lack of trust. 

Your HVAC system is typically the largest consumer of energy in your building and also one of your most “high profile”. When your HVAC system malfunctions the facility manager and building owners quickly hear about it from the people in the building. Whether it is in a hospital, school, or office building; when people are uncomfortable they complain about it.

Setra's educational webinars and videos on demand provide helpful information on applications, industry best practices and more. These webinars and videos are just a few of Setra's readily available resources for technical info.

The sensing and measurement of physical quantities through small changes in electrical capacitance is scarcely a new concept. The natural benefits of this approach were recognized for many years. But it was not until Setra engineers introduced new materials, new designs, and innovative, dedicated circuitry that the techniques full potential was realized in the practical, real world of pressure measurement.

HVAC controls are built around a number of parameters that affect a building’s interior environment; temperature, humidity, air intake, and air exhaust. Reliable inputs are critical to effective control. Setra provides robust, accurate sensors to help you control your air handling equipment with ease, efficiency, and dependability.
