Storer Equipment Company understands the science of designing a high performance building. While you're considering factors as diverse as weather conditions, air supply requirements, and piping and duct configurations, we're right there with you to help determine the optimum HVAC system for your project. Rather than focusing on any one piece of equipment, we see the benefits of taking a holistic approach geared toward comprehensive system designs that provide comfort in the most reliable and efficient way possible. Two such design concepts are Trane's CDQTM System Concept and the EarthWiseTM Design Approach.

CDQTM: Cool, Dry, Quiet. The Trane CDQTM desiccant dehumidification system is an award-winning method for controlling space humidity. A CDQ desiccant wheel is configured in series with the cooling coil to significantly improve the coil's ability to remove water. This technology is ideal for hospital operating rooms, which require a low relative humidity (35-55 percent RH) and have to be kept very cool (60º - 68º F). The CDQ design has applications in many other challenging projects, including laboratories and archives. The design also offers significant energy savings, as it improves latent capacity to reduce the required cooling needed, and the supply-air dew points can eliminate the need for a secondary refrigeration coil or a heat-generated active desiccant system.

EarthWiseTM: Providing documented sustainability of high efficiency, low emissions over the entire lifetime of a building. EarthWiseTM systems include a low flow, low temperature, high efficiency design that uses smaller pipes and pumps, thus fewer natural resources and less energy for water circulation. And that colder water makes colder air, which is distributed throughout zones in smaller ducts, using less energy for fan circulation and less material for the ductwork. Supplying less airflow at colder temperatures permits quieter operation and reduces relative humidity in the building, improving indoor air quality. The approach reduces environmental impact inside and out. For more information, click here.
