For over ninety years, field controls has been the industry leader in the development and manufacture of product that control, move and improve air. Our founder, Ted Field, developed the first barometric draft control. Also known as a draft regulator, to automatically control the flow of air through a combustion chamber, providing a consistent burn rate and maximizing fuel economy. It set the standard, becoming original equipment on the oil and gas boilers and furnaces made. As homes have become tighter in an effort to save energy, oil and gas heating appliances often so from a lack of oxygen, wasting fuel, and causing sooting, shutdowns, and late night callbacks. To address these issues, other innovative field controls products were developed. In line and chimney top draft endducers to help boost draft when required. Oil and gas vent dampers that improve energy efficiency by preventing heat loss when the system is idle, saving fuel and reducing heating costs. The patented SWG sidewall power vinter to help vent oil and gas appliances without a chimney. Combustion air systems such as fan in a can that automatically bring fresh air into the furnace room on demand for proper combustion. The air boot, delivering fresh combustion air directly to oil burners, and thermal safety switches to detect flu gas spillage due to a blocked flu, continuous down drafting, or inadequate draft conditions. Field controls continues to constantly improve the efficiency, venting safety, and code science of all of our products for better solutions.

Solar panels installed in 2020 could supply 21% of solar silver by 2035

Solar panels installed in 2020 could supply 21% of solar silver by 2035

Recycling solar panels installed in 2020 could supply up to 21% of the silver needed for new panel production by 2035. Technical advances are making panel recycling more economic. Buyers and asset owners can start modeling recycled supply and retirement value.

  • 01Panels installed in 2020 could supply up to 21% of the silver needed for solar panel production in 2035, a 15-year lag that suggests recycled supply could be estimated from installation records.
  • 02European researchers estimate recycling could cover about 25% of cobalt and 15% of lithium, nickel and manganese supply by 2030.
  • 03A recycler's recovery rate means little without its purity: TNO's laser process reported roughly 97% yield with silver at 99.7% purity, the pairing that tells a manufacturer whether the metal is usable.

Massachusetts queue delays put 2027 solar tax credits at risk

Massachusetts queue delays put 2027 solar tax credits at risk

Catalyst Power says interconnection delays are now a tax-credit risk, not just a schedule risk. In Massachusetts, a project tied to a 2029 transmission upgrade could miss the Dec. 31, 2027 deadline that SEIA says now governs many solar projects, putting 30% to 50% of ITC value at risk.

  • 01SEIA says solar projects that begin construction after July 4, 2026 must be placed in service by Dec. 31, 2027.
  • 02FERC's cluster-study reforms set study deadlines and late-study penalties, but they do not guarantee a needed grid upgrade finishes before a project's tax clock runs out.

Only 33% of utility executives call asset management advanced, IFS survey finds

Only 33% of utility executives call asset management advanced, IFS survey finds

Fifty-seven percent of utility executives call AI critical to cutting costs. Only 33% rate their asset lifecycle management as advanced, and 49% report operational data silos.

  • 01Fifty-seven percent of utility executives call AI critical to cutting costs, but only 33% rate the asset management that AI would run on as advanced.
  • 02Half of executives say asset management runs in silos with limited predictive capability, suggesting early AI spend may go to data integration before models.
  • 03Pew says grid modernization capex is pressuring rates; it also says using DERs via virtual power plants could serve peak demand at 40%–60% of traditional costs and help defer or avoid some infrastructure upgrades.
