1. Tungsten Smart-Heat Portable Heater
Not only is this heater aesthetically pleasing with its neutral black finish and modern design; it redefines outdoor heating. Taking giant steps forward in energy efficiency and versatility, Bromic Heating’s Tungsten Smart-Heat Portable Heater has a high-intensity ceramic burner that provides optimal warmth with minimal heat loss in a wide range of weather conditions. The unit’s ambient heat effectively warms your outdoor space even in strong winds.
Perfect for garden terraces or rooftop restaurants, its modular construction and built-in wheels offer flexibility and easy maneuverability for tight spaces. Bromic’s patented adjustable heat control makes sure everyone stays comfortable. The portable heater is powerful, too, delivering widespread heat of up to 4 meters wide and 5 meters deep. Its adjustable tilting head allows you to direct the heat exactly where you want it. bromic.com/heating

2. MEM Enterprise Management
The Metasys Enterprise Management (MEM) platform by Johnson Controls is now even better at helping building owners optimize energy consumption. MEM works with meters, smart devices, and automation systems to extract and make sense of large amounts of equipment data.
With the new Tenant Management feature, tenants can keep track of their energy habits. Building owners can analyze the energy consumption and spending of each tenant and use this data to suggest ways to help tenants reduce energy costs. Tenants can also make online after-hour requests to building owners. Kiosk is the new public-facing feature that lets building owners share real- time property data. The interactive tool exhibits live sustainability metrics, like current energy and water usage and CO2 emission levels. The display also shows the building’s overall environmental impact and green certification goals. johnsoncontrols.com

3. Ultra-Aire MD33
Excessive moisture can quickly lead to poor indoor air quality and building damage if it’s not kept in check. The Ultra-Aire MD33 is the first in-wall dehumidifier that can provide dedicated moisture control in multi-family applications, adaptive reuse projects, hotels, and more. Its slim profile of five-and-three-fourths inches deep allows the unit to easily fit inside walls.
The Energy Star–certified MD33 runs independent of the HVAC system, promoting a healthier environment without overcooling the space. The MD33 unit uses hands-off dehumidification technology that removes up to 33 pints of water a day. It also features a digital RH controller behind its durable cover. Sized for applications up to 1,200 square feet, it is an economical and energy-efficient solution. You can easily hardwire the MD33 into your existing electrical system or plug it in directly to an outlet. inwalldehumidifier.com

4. VRV T-Series
Daikin’s VRV T-Series is an energy-saving alternative to conventional centralized equipment. Because it’s a water cooled system, heat is absorbed or rejected via the condensing units to and from the water loop instead of the outside air, so the system’s operations are not affected by outdoor temperatures. Designed around a modular concept, the VRV T-Series is quick and easy to install.
Water-cooled VRV systems typically need less base refrigerant charge than air-cooled VRV systems. Also, the VRV water cooled system can connect to a geothermal water loop, making it one of the greenest air conditioning systems available on the market today. VRV water cooled systems can exchange heat through a ground heat exchanger, which lessens the load on the compressor and saves big on energy. daikinac.com

5. Series E-80SC Pumps
These pumps put durability and performance first. Bell & Gossett applied the power of ‘e’ to their new Series e-80SC split coupled in-line pumps, offering enhanced energy efficiency and maximized hydraulic coverage. The pumps exceed the proposed DOE efficiency regulations. Designed for vertical or horizontal in-line mounting, they can operate in many conditions, and their stainless steel impellers strengthen their performance and durability.
Models come in many sizes and may include Integrated Technologic (IT) variable speed drives for sensored or sensorless applications, featuring the latest hardware platform, advanced pumping software, and proven algorithms. The pumps feature innovative shaft jacking coupling to make maintenance easier. bellgossett.com
