ASME CATALYZE debuts June 17–18, 2026, bringing top engineering and industry minds together to shape the next industrial revolution.

ASPE has released the newly updated Volume 1 of its Plumbing Engineering Design Handbook — now available as a convenient eBook.

Watts has been named one of the Top Places to Work in Massachusetts by The Boston Globe for the third consecutive year.

In the newly created role, Mest will serve as a mentor and catalyst for strategic affairs across the association.

ASPE developed the CPDT program to provide professional recognition of qualified individuals who design plumbing systems.

Paul DeLorie, Hampshire Fire Protection Co., Londonderry, N.H., was elected chair of the board.

Explore why geothermal energy—thanks to its tiny land footprint, round-the-clock reliability, and seamless integration with solar, wind and urban thermal networks—is emerging as a cornerstone of a sustainable, resilient, high-density clean-energy future.

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, when paired with the right climate and building programs, can turn waste heat into year-round efficiency, offering a powerful path to reduced energy use, resilience and sustainable design.
