Still relying on rules of thumb for hot water return design? Engineer Ray Schwalbe walks through a data-driven method for sizing pumps and piping using real heat loss calculations — offering a smarter, more efficient way to keep hot water flowing when and where it's needed.

What does it take to build the world’s first stadium for a professional women’s soccer team? At CPKC Stadium, sustainable plumbing, smart drainage, and innovative design come together to redefine game day — and green building — in Kansas City.

From MAS*H units to AI-enhanced field hospitals, the evolution of battlefield medicine raises one urgent question: are we truly prepared for the next medical crisis?

When Legionella strikes, emergency flushing and disinfection of a building’s water systems isn’t just critical—it’s the first line of defense against a deadly outbreak.

Idle pallets may seem harmless, but without proper sprinkler system design, they can become the most dangerous fire hazard in your building—here’s how the 2025 NFPA 13 addresses that risk.

UMDFPE Chair Arnaud Trouvé, Ph.D., presented Denhardt with the award at the Distinguished Alumni Dinner during NFPA’s 2025 Conference & Expo.

The new office serves as a regional base for its two subsidiaries: Henderson Engineers, whose focus is building systems design, and Henderson Building Solutions, which specializes in design-build construction management and commissioning.

Proper pipe sizing is more complex than it seems — and oversizing can be just as problematic as undersizing; Lance MacNevin explains how the PPI’s Plastic Pipe Design Calculator helps designers strike the right balance for efficient, safe plumbing systems.

Designing plumbing for building retrofits isn’t just about pipes — it’s a puzzle of past and present, where careful investigation, collaboration, and creative problem-solving turn old spaces into seamless, functional systems.

High-efficiency boilers promise big savings, but as Andy Williams explains, true performance depends on system design, emitter sizing, and maintaining return water temperatures below 130°F for maximum condensing efficiency.
