        <![CDATA[Many people mentally equate green buildings with energy savings, and reducing energy use is indeed important. However, being “green” is actually more comprehensive than “just” saving energy. Green buildings have reduced environmental footprints while still enhancing the indoor environmental quality. Green means getting more with less—more quality of life for building occupants while using less planetary resources. Doing so is also good for business…]]>

        <![CDATA[To regulate temperature inside buildings, Building Automation Systems often control the flow of hot and/or cold water inside the pipes of various kinds of HVAC devices. This modulation of the flow of water takes place inside a valve in response to a varying signal from the BAS. Of the types of valves that have been most often used in HVAC systems, ball valves have the advantages of being reasonably priced, durable, capable of easily handling high pressures and flows, and capable of manual override. However, they have lacked reliable precision for smoothly modulating flow across the entire control range...until now...]]>
