With nearly 20 years of experience in plumbing design, I’ve seen an evolution in philosophies around many topics. Some truths that many engineers for years held to be self-evident have been discovered to be questionable at best, and outright false in other cases.

The 2026 Reports on Comments for IAPMO’s 2027 USHGC, USPSHTC and WE•Stand are now available for public review, with comments due Oct. 30.

The group focused on providing a way to learn more about how plastic piping systems provide sustainable and resilient solutions for a wide range of building environment applications.

IAPMO, CIPHE and ASPE join forces to tackle global plumbing challenges through expanded collaboration on sustainability, water efficiency, education and innovation.

The show returns to Las Vegas where it will make its permanent home. 

The geothermal industry is standing at a precipice: not of a decline, but of a radical, utility-scale expansion.

Steam built the industrial age, but it doesn’t have to run it any longer. In fact, in many cases, it shouldn’t.

Although corrugated medical tubing (CMT) is often perceived as a relatively recent solution for medical gas systems, it has been proven in the field across industries for more than 20 years.  

As digital infrastructure becomes more powerful, more compact and more essential to everyday business operations, data center cooling has become one of the most important disciplines in facility engineering.

Cooling towers play a critical role in heat rejection for power generation, industrial and lab process cooling, data centers and, more commonly, in HVAC cooling systems.
