Bonded Logic, Inc. offers the company's new LEED eligible,
IAQ enhancing, HVAC duct liner insulation - UltraTouch Natural
Fiber Duct Liner. Much of the quality cotton fibers used to
manufacture UltraTouch are sourced from multiple outlets in
the state of Texas. UltraTouch features no fiberglass or formaldehyde
and therefore no itch or irritation. The product resists mold
and microbial growth, is Class-A fire rated, and passes all
mold and bacteria tests.

updated June 2005
DuctSox’s Final Filter is the HVAC industry’s first
replaceable in-duct air filter for fabric duct that increases
IAQ and energy savings while reducing outdoor air requirements
and building maintenance. The cone-shaped Final Filter is
designed for supplementing primary filter systems in new or
retrofit buildings with DuctSox air dispersion.
DuctSox fabric duct improves air quality with more even air disbursement, conserves natural resources (eliminates metal ductwork), reduces solid wastes in shipping materials, and decreases greenhouse gas emissions by limiting the spread of air pollutants. The system is also 90 percent lighter weight than metal duct and reduces the need for heavier roof reinforcement.
The Sedona-Xm fabric duct, from DuctSox, offers a new matte finish in response to architect requests for non-glossy, non-glare polyester duct surfaces. Sedona-Xm also features the HVAC industry’s first UL-classified anti-microbial fabric duct for office buildings, schools, hospitals, athletic facilities, retail stores, and other commercial facilities. The active anti-microbial agent protects the fabric from mold, fungus, and other bacterial growth, while also reducing odors generated by microbial growths commonly found in HVAC ductwork systems. It is easy to disassemble, launder, and reinstall with minimum reduction of effectiveness.

To cool commercial buildings the Ice Bear thermal energy storage
system circulates refrigerant through ice that is frozen at
night to an evaporator coil and blower for day-time cooling.
The system reduces peak daytime electricity demand and consumption
for cooling costs by 95 percent.

The Comfort 1st filtered diffuser controls drafts from overhead
diffusers while it cleans air tainted by polluted ductwork.
The diffuser combines four-way adjustable airflow along a
horizontal plane. Four anti-microbial filters cover the discharge
points on the inside portion of each louver.

Panasonic's WhisperLite Advanced
Ventilation Fans are super quiet, energy efficient, fan/light
combinations designed for longer run times or continuous operation
for better indoor air quality. WhisperLite Ventilation Fans
utilize two Panasonic Quick Start (flicker-free) 13-watt compact
fluorescent lamps for warm color-corrected lighting. The fan
is Energy Star-approved and HVI (Home Ventilating Institute)
certified.

Solaronics new True Dual 2-Stage Heaters operate on natural gas or propane
and are ideal for sports facilities such as ice skating rinks where
spectators can enjoy a comfortably warm experience without overheating the
rest of the space. The air and gas flows that produce combustion are each
precisely regulated at both the high and low heat stages for optimum
efficiency. According to the manufacturer, in most buildings the heaters
will be operating on low-heat about 90 percent of the time, helping to save
up to 75 percent of fuel costs over other units.

August 2006 updated
Last June, State and County officials presented Morgan Stanley with a ceremonial incentive check for $300,000 for installing the New York Metropolitan area¹s largest ice storage based air-conditioning system at its Purchase facility. The system, provided by Trane, makes ice at night during off-peak hours to provide cooling the next day during on-peak hours. The system is expected to lower the facility¹s peak energy usage by 740 kW, reduce overall electric usage by 900,000 kWh, and reduce the site overall fuel consumption by 15,000 MBtu.
