Plumbing engineer Justin Bowker says that for new plumbing and HVAC projects, it is crucial to approach problem-solving intentionally: understand design intent and conditions, use data loggers for intermittent issues, and differentiate between system and equipment problems with expert input.
Discover the critical role pressure-sustaining control valves play in maintaining stable pressure levels in water distribution and health-care systems. Learn key considerations and best practices for selecting, installing and maintaining these valves to optimize system performance.

Previous sizing practices have routinely overestimated the required capacity of domestic water heating systems, relying on the Modified Hunter’s Curve to determine water systems sizing. Data-driven engineering, however, helps building owners and managers achieve new levels of safety, efficiency and cost/space savings for occupant needs.
Oversizing a domestic water system can lead to aging water and stagnation, the two biggest factors in waterborne pathogen growth. Yet modern plumbing codes still require or strongly recommend outdated sizing methods such as Hunter’s Curve, doing our building owners a disservice and putting the public at risk.
