Misty Guard discusses how companies and plumbing and mechanical engineers can navigate the intersection of laws, regulations, codes, standards, and public policies. She uses her expertise in water and plumbing, energy and mechanical, environmental, public health, electrical and explosive atmospheres, and innovation policies to provide insights on compliance.
Corrosion in fire sprinkler systems can go undetected until it's too late, causing damage or loss of life. Traditional ITM protocols can accelerate corrosion, but new advancements offer better prevention and monitoring for protecting lives and property.
A North Vancouver school chose WaterFurnace for its reliability and energy efficiency. The manufacturer's rep mentioned that the equipment aligned with decarbonization efforts. Finances were a concern, as is usual with building projects.
Plumbing involves providing clean water, managing wastewater, and ensuring water quality for safe use. It also includes handling various other systems such as gas distribution, drainage, and laboratory systems.
The International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials' (IAPMO) monographs of proposals for modifications to the Uniform Plumbing Code (UPC) and Uniform Mechanical Code (UMC).
The Agnews Campus in the Santa Clara Unified School District worked with LPA Design Studios, a California-based integrated architectural and engineering design firm, to design the schools with a high-tech aesthetic.
The facility is scheduled to host thousands of training courses in its first year, guiding professionals through a spectrum of topics, spanning both the residential and commercial sectors, including installation, software evaluation, and best practices for servicing LG air solutions products.
Circulating ground-temperature water in a Thermal Energy Network (TEN) provides efficient heating and cooling, reducing costs and mitigating climate change through decarbonization. The water must be kept within a specific temperature range, known as the performance zone.
In a radiant heating and cooling system, water circulates through PEX pipes in the concrete slab to control the slab's temperature for heating or cooling.
Industry professionals should engage in the development of new standards and serve on technical committees to help shape the future of plumbing and mechanical systems.
Plumbing design professionals rely on third-party product standards and qualifications to minimize design risk efficiently. Written specifications often reference product certifications.
Point-of-use (POU) water disinfection isn't just about public health; it's also an essential engineering strategy in modern water systems, tackling waterborne diseases by ensuring safe drinking water directly at the point of consumption.
