COMMERICIAL RADIANT SLAB COOLING
In collaboration with personnel from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), Newport authored an article on commercial radiant slab cooling that was recently featured in the ASHRAE Journal (American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air Conditioning Engineers). The article describes the building energy simulations and control strategies that supported Wal-Mart’s decision to deploy radiant slab cooling for increased energy efficiency in one of their buildings in a hot, dry climate. The project specified Viega’s ClimateMat as a modular, pre-configured network of radiant tubing to reduce installation time and costs. >> Download the article.
 HIGH PERFORMANCE RESIDENTIAL DESIGN CHALLENGE
Newport Ventures authors a report recently released by NYSERDA that addresses the need to increase the homebuilding industry’s knowledge and experience in building cost-effective, energy efficient homes. The NYSERDA program established a goal for participating homes to meet the challenging energy efficiency benchmark of performing at least 60 percent better than homes built to the 2004 international energy conservation code (IECC).
