Goddard Riverside, Rockabill Consulting, the archetectural team of IMC Architecture and Magnusson Architecture and Planning and Notias Construction are working together on this project. 

As we celebrate Women’s History Month and Women in Construction Week, Plumbing & Mechanical is shining the spotlight on 10 influential women who are leading the plumbing industry to great success.

California's push to replace gas-fired water heaters with electric heat pumps marks a significant shift in the construction industry. This electrification trend, while still emerging, is prompting plumbing contractors to navigate the changes brought on by decarbonization, impacting HVAC technicians and the broader market.

Vicinity will import renewable electricity through its co-located substations to power the electric boiler, generating carbon-free eSteam.

Cala’s heat pump water heater will lower costs and carbon emissions from home water heating, which currently accounts for 19% of all home energy use and 3% of U.S. GHG emissions. Homeowners and those who install Cala HPWHs are set up to benefit from local, state, and federal support for heat pump water heaters, including 30% rebates through the Inflation Reduction Act.

Vicinity Energy is the owner and operator of district energy systems dedicated to decarbonizing its operations and investing in innovative renewable thermal energy technologies to offer carbon-free eSteam to its customers. Operating 19 district energy systems in 12 cities, Vicinity delivers reliable and sustainable steam, hot water, and chilled water to over 260 million square feet of building space nationwide

In rural upstate New York, residents harvest trees for firewood using chainsaws and hydraulic splitters. I burn about two face cords annually in my wood stove, enjoying its warmth during winter and relying on it during power outages caused by outdated utility lines.

There was a time when furnaces and boilers shared equal flexibility in Btu/h input/output and air delivery. It's hard to imagine, right? But times are changing. Will you embrace this change for profit, or cling to old ways as sales slip away?

The medical profession confronts dual challenges: ensuring positive outcomes for patients while tackling the prevalence of healthcare-associated infections. Healthcare management is deeply focused on addressing these critical issues.

There is a growing interest in adding air-to-water heat pumps to existing hydronic heating systems. While I support their use, I do not recommend replacing a perfectly good cast-iron boiler that still has a long service life.
