T E C H N O L O G Y N E W & N O T A B L E T he growing importance of energy efficiency and sustainability has given birth to new generations of products and technologies available in the marketplace.

F A D G H E B I C A Trussed Purlins Varco Pruden offers the WideBay trussed purlin, an alternative to bar joists for builders. The purlins are effective for bay spans up to 60 ft, are available in 30, 34, and 40 n. depths, and require no field welding. The bolted connections allow for reduced construction time. Suitable applications include projects requiring open interior space for equipment placement, racking and storage or where column-free space is needed for sporting events or concerts. HPB.hotims.com/49822-156 B HVLS Fan MacroAir announces its AirVolution-D high volume, low speed (HVLS) fan. The fan is driven by a compact electric motor capable of handling the consistent torque requirements of a 24-ft diameter industrial fan. This motor eliminates the need for a gearbox, which reduces total weight and eliminates moving parts. Fans are available in sizes from 6 to 24 ft, can be installed in as low as 12-ft ceiling heights and offers custom color options to accommodate the aesthetic of any space.

Data logging capacities vary across the range, and a DINmountable variant is also available.

The product is suitable for energy cost allocation and submetering applications.

The unit operates at 890 W with heater and 600 W without heater and features wave-shaped nozzles to direct airflow, resulting in quiet operation. Separate air and water ducts prevent cross contamination from the waste water tank, which holds up to 600 uses worth of runoff water from users' hands.
