Honeywell to Launch Energy Valve by Early 2027 — Pressure-Independent Solution for Flow, ΔT, and Thermal Energy Control in HVAC and Data Centers

Honeywell has announced the early-2027 market launch of Energy Valve — an integrated package combining a multi-port valve, electric actuator, sensors, and an intelligent interface for pressure-independent temperature control. The device unifies flow and thermal energy metering, coil control, and system pressure optimisation via BMS in a single circuit.

BMS and IAQ-Linked Controls Shift from Premium Add-Ons to Minimum Standard in Indian Commercial HVAC

With buildings consuming roughly 33% of India's electricity and HVAC systems driving 40–60% of a typical commercial building's energy bill, BMS integration, demand-controlled ventilation, and cloud-connected analytics are rapidly becoming baseline specification requirements. The article maps the three-layer BMS architecture, key control strategies, IAQ-driven ventilation economics, and the filtration and standards landscape shaping the next decade of intelligent building design in India.

Fan pack design: the next efficiency frontier in commercial refrigeration

Optimized air movement in commercial refrigeration can deliver up to 7% energy savings, equivalent to roughly 3.64 TWh annually across the EU 27. Daniel Hofmann of Nidec Global Appliance (Embraco) explains how integrated fan pack design—combining EC motors, aerodynamic blades, and shrouds—addresses the performance bottleneck that has shifted from compressors to ventilation.

Specifying Heat Exchangers: Why Functional Requirements Must Come First

Eugene le Roux (FSAIRAC) and Eamonn Ryan argue that a heat exchanger specification should be built around functional parameters—fluid properties, temperatures, thermal duty, and pressure conditions—rather than physical characteristics alone. Published in RACA Journal, this Part 1 of a two-part series covers the functional side; Part 2 will address the physical interface, mechanical integrity, safety, maintenance, and instrumentation.
