As hybrid work drives office-to-residential conversions, unique plumbing challenges arise—especially for domestic hot water systems. Arup engineers share key design insights and a new tool to streamline DHW strategy decisions.

What if your plumbing could detect problems, fix itself, and send you a receipt—all before you even knew there was an issue? Industry veteran John A. Mullen introduces “Living Pipe,” a visionary concept combining AI, self-healing materials, and advanced sensors to create truly intelligent water infrastructure.

A dedicated standard for the hanging and bracing of fire suppression systems is in development. Learn why NFPA 200 was created, how it builds on existing codes, and what it means for the future of seismic protection and structural coordination.

Scald burns are 100% preventable — but only when hot water systems are properly maintained, monitored, and designed to code. This month, Ron George, CPD, explores how preventative maintenance and plumbing codes work hand-in-hand to keep building occupants safe.

Building owners, developers, and property managers can instantly evaluate the potential savings of switching to Ice Air’s innovative All Climate Comfort equipment.
