Periodically
I scan the horizon for new videos to add to our Best HVAC Videos Library. These are not
training videos, but rather unique videos providing unusual and informative
insights to the HVAC industry. The following are being added to our library to
compete among the best of the best.
The first
is actually a family of Videos found at TED.com which includes this just posted video:

Amory Lovins: A
50-year plan for energy
Talk
filmed at TED's offices, energy theorist Amory Lovins lays out the steps we
must take to end the world's dependence on oil (before we run out). Some
changes are already happening -- like lighter-weight cars, integrated building
design and smarter trucks.
Trane Air Conditioner - How It's
Made
A close-up
look at the production and testing of this world class residential air
conditioner in Trane's Tyler,

Time Lapse Video of
Building a Custom Air Handler
Time lapse
of manufacturing a large Innovent custom air handler unit which compresses
three weeks into 3 minutes.
Breakthrough
Video: Desiccant Enhanced Evaporative Air Conditioning (DEVAP)
Researchers
at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) invented a breakthrough
technology that improves air conditioning in a novel way-with heat. NREL
combined desiccant materials, which remove moisture from the air using heat,
and advanced evaporative technologies to develop a cooling unit that uses 90%
less electricity and up to 80% less total energy than traditional air
conditioning (AC).
