As design engineers, we frequently use systems requiring pressure regulation. A regulator, as defined by the ASPE Plumbing Dictionary, reduces variable inlet pressure to a stable outlet pressure under changing flow conditions. It maintains a uniform gas pressure lower than the supply pressure. Essentially, a regulator ensures consistent downstream pressure from a variable upstream pressure.

The event’s more than 100 technical sessions will showcase on eight conference tracks will offer emerging approaches to building design, construction and operation.

In this month's article, I've gathered regulatory activities from U.S. government agencies like CPSC, DOE, EPA, FTC, HUD, and SBA. I've organized the activities by agency, rulemaking stage, and included their Regulation Identifier Number (RIN).

The lab includes a broad range of Trimble’s industry-leading geospatial and construction solutions.

Thermal storage enhances the efficiency of renewable energy heating systems, like pellet-fired boilers and solar collectors, by storing low-cost, off-peak electrical energy for future use. It's vital for reducing energy costs and ensuring consistent heating, with auxiliary boilers providing backup when needed.

Since the program's launch earlier this year, the CDP has been the most applied-for ASHRAE certification, highlighting its importance and relevance in today's building and energy sectors.  

Trimble recognized for commitment to innovation across projects, processes and company culture.

Last month marked the second anniversary of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), the most significant U.S. federal action on climate change. With over $369 billion allocated to energy and climate programs, the IRA has driven unprecedented growth in renewable energy, boosting solar, wind, and battery storage, while cutting greenhouse gas emissions and lowering energy costs.

The IAPMO Water Demand Calculator has faced challenges due to exclusions from its documentation and calculations, causing difficulties for engineers in luxury apartment buildings.

Airborne pathogen control guidelines provide crucial support during high-risk virus seasons and beyond.
