This month’s cover story by Nathan Heitzinger, Arandeep Singh and Galen S. Hoeflinger from SmithGroup delves into the use of BIM with a concept called integrated project delivery to improve how all the different parties work together during a project’s lifecycle.
Building information modeling tools and their methods of use have changed drastically with the increased use of the integrated project delivery process.
Designing domestic hot water systems for these buildings has challenges, but several best practices can help ensure success.
September 4, 2023
Plumbing engineers must consider many things when designing a high-rise building’s hot water heating and supply system. Understanding the different piping systems and using industry best practices will assist in a successful project.
These switches are ideal for small pits, spaces limited radially and areas requiring reliable, proven operation.

Belowgrade spaces are susceptible to excess water, which is a big problem for building owners. Sump pumps are essential to reduce water damage and mold, but must occupy the smallest space possible while operating quietly. One equipped with a diaphragm switch often overcomes many space issues while providing reliable operation.
The CircuitSolver thermostatic balancing valve has been overcoming water
balancing issues for more than a decade.
