CES Brunch 2008


Me and the boys from Baskervill were invited by ACES to a half day seminar to learn more about the CES group.

We don't work on many projects that involve mechanical penthouses but it was cool to see how everything gets packaged together. The two other seminars were on ERVs and the Fan wall technology. I hope to work with more of these products in the future. Both have LEED potential and just make sense to use. Esp the fan wall... this thing is SWEET! (There are alot of cool features available on the fan wall so I recommend checking out the CES group website) I got to check out the trailer that was at the seminar and stand inside of it while it pushed 24,000 cfm. It was so quiet that you could have a regular conversation without having to yell. (Disclaimer: the fan was running at only 0.03 inH20, it may be slightly louder at higher pressures) The ERVs will be tricky to get on a job without being VE'd (value engineered... aka cut from the budget because the owner is too cheap to do job right) but I think we can make it work on some of the larger jobs we work on. We'll see.
