AMCA once again is partnering with ASHRAE for publication and distribution of AMCA inmotion. ASHRAE will mail approximately 70,000 copies of the 2020 edition of AMCA inmotion with the October issue of ASHRAE Journal, reaching building-system-design and industrial-processes professionals, and to architects, building owners, facility managers, and engineers subscribed to High Performing Buildings (HPB) magazine who do not receive ASHRAE Journal. Digitally, the 2020 edition of AMCA inmotion will be e-mailed to more than 115,000 ASHRAE Journal and HPB subscribers. Online, the 2020 edition of AMCA inmotion will be available for free downloading at AMCA.org and ASHRAE.org.

Print copies of the 2020 edition of AMCA inmotion additionally will be distributed at the 2021 International Air-Conditioning, Heating, Refrigerating Exposition (AHR Expo)—“the world’s largest HVACR event”—Jan. 25-27 in Chicago.

The content for the 2020 edition of AMCA inmotion was prepared by AMCA committee and staff members and professionals closely aligned with AMCA and was edited by AMCA Manager of Industry Content Scott Arnold, who, prior to joining AMCA in 2017, was an editor for HPAC Engineering magazine for 18 years.

Nearly 40 magazine pages of editorial content have been developed, including:

  • “UV-C for HVAC Air and Surface Disinfection”—The COVID-19 crisis is sparking interest in a long-established, yet not widely utilized, method of inactivating dangerous microbes.
  • “Mitigating System Effect to Optimize Fan Performance and Efficiency”—Often resulting from changes to ductwork design made during installation, system effect increases energy consumption and costs as well as stress on system components.
  • “Field Modifications of Fire, Smoke, and Combination Fire/Smoke Dampers”—From the simple extension of a damper sleeve to the replacement of a damper actuator, common changes that may be needed for a factory-supplied life-safety damper to be installed properly.
  • “Straightening Out Fan Curves”—Despite their complex appearance, fan curves are fairly easy to interpret once one gains an understanding of the conventions and terminology used, enabling selection and specification of the best fan for an application.
  • “Specifying High-Temperature Industrial Fans”—In a high-temperature manufacturing environment, failure of a fan can have a devastating effect on operations. To specify a fan for maximum service life, it is important to understand factors influencing fan design and construction.
  • “Trends in HVAC-Equipment Application”—An examination of six years of construction-project specifications yields important insights into the state of the HVAC industry, the market for various ventilation-system types in particular.

Also developed for the 2020 edition of AMCA inmotion were updates from AMCA’s Asia (“China’s New Fan-Efficiency Standard: What to Expect”), Europe (“The Role of HVAC in EU COVID-19 Recovery”), and Middle East (“COVID-19 Calls Attention to Indoor-Air Quality”) regions.
