The voice of Australian HVAC&R
Total control
We examine the important role instrumentation and control technicians – or “instros” for short – play in optimising HVAC&R systems.
Latest edition
The Autumn issue of Ecolibrium takes readers under the hood of an advanced battery manufacturing facility, explores the building physics of double-skinned facades and showcases the research strategy being activated by Distinguished Professor Lidia Morawska that’s turning a building at QUT into a living laboratory. There’s also a thoughtful feature on how the HVAC&R industry is progressing on parental leave, some inspiring innovation in the form of eco-cabins with biosolar roofs and technical insight on topics including humidity control and indirect evaporative cooling.
