Understanding geotechnical reports is essential for plumbing engineers, as groundwater, soil conditions and subsurface risks directly impact below-grade systems and require careful coordination with structural, civil and geotechnical teams to ensure reliable, damage-free designs.
Ground-source heat pump systems depend on durable, properly specified plastic piping, and the new PPI MS-7 model specification helps engineers ensure the right materials, standards and installation practices are used for reliable, long-term geothermal performance.
Geothermal systems can significantly improve building energy efficiency, especially in climates with balanced heating and cooling demands; proper system design and modeling help maximize sustainability.

Water heaters have gone from basic to breakthrough. Today’s heat pump and tankless models deliver more hot water, lower energy costs, smart features, and longer life—bringing modern efficiency to every home.
Heat pump water heaters can save families about $500 a year on energy bills, and with rebates of up to $3,000 nationwide, plus a federal tax credit of up to $2,000, there’s never been a better time to make the switch before incentives expire.
The company maintains a solid financial position with currently more than $640 million in cash and investments and no debt, enabling sustained investments in growth.
The U.S. Green Building Council California has launched the California Building Performance Hub to help accelerate energy-saving retrofits in buildings statewide.
