Cody Mack provides information on the importance of three-way mixing valves, where you need them, how to size them, and the role of recirculation systems in maintaining stable temperatures in hydronic systems.
Properly calculating the water requirements for expansive medical grounds and supporting buildings is vital to the facility’s infrastructure plan. Here, John Gregory uses square footage and employee counts as part of a systematic approach to determine the gallons per day needed.
As we continue this domestic hot water series, Ron George discusses the best circumstances to include temperature-actuated balancing valves or pressure-reducing valves in your plumbing design of high-rises and mega-tall buildings.
These hydronic systems keep outdoor residential and commercial surfaces such as sidewalks, driveways and stairs clear of snow and ice, a safety and liability issue. Lance MacNevin from the Plastics Pipe Institute explains how they also can reduce energy costs, thus lowering the operational costs of a building.
Understanding the fundamentals of water management programs is pivotal in curbing Legionella growth and streamlining compliance tasks.

The design of a building’s plumbing system must go beyond Legionella mitigation and streamline compliance tasks for facility managers. ASHRAE Standard 188, Legionellosis: Risk Management For Building Water Systems, targeted those tasked with maintaining building water systems.
As we continue this series, Ron George discusses thermal expansion tanks, temperature gauges, temperature effects on Legionella bacteria and hot water temperature maintenance cables.
The Solar Decathlon challenges the next generation of building professionals to design high-performance, low-carbon buildings powered by renewable energy.
