We’ve all had the call that something is too loud. The VAV box, the diffuser, the grille. Before you start looking at anything, consider if a flex change can be effective. Below are the performance tables for type 1 and type 6 flex by Flexmaster USA. These products...
You probably thought you could get away with one. I say you need two! Many projects start with visions of grandeur, and then the budget gets in the way. I feel that all of us would like to class-up our systems with higher end equipment, but not every client is...
One of the culture models that we use at Air Flow is called ‘The Working Genius’. It’s a great tool, way better than Myers Briggs or Enneagram or DISC. Especially for the workplace. Here’s the poop: Some people are good at coming up with ideas. (Invention) Some...
