This article explores how modular design, hydraulic separation, and advanced controls can transform geothermal systems from incremental efficiency gains into scalable, high-performance solutions for commercial and residential buildings.

This case study explores how a risk-based, multi-barrier blackwater treatment system at San Francisco’s Mission Rock meets stringent microbial log reduction targets to enable safe, large-scale onsite non-potable water reuse.

The 2025 Geothermal Rising Conference marked a turning point for geothermal energy, honoring Dr. James Bose’s legacy while showcasing how heat pump innovation is powering a scalable, decarbonized future.

This article explains why ANSI/AAMI ST108:2023 has become a de facto enforceable standard and offers practical design guidance for plumbing engineers to ensure compliant water systems in hospital sterile processing departments.

This in-depth guide breaks down NFPA 13 requirements for high-piled storage, helping fire protection designers confidently select the right sprinkler systems for complex storage occupancies.

From building schools to empowering women and improving health care, Rotary International’s Ghana mission highlights sustainable education, economic development, and life-changing support for children and families.

Presentations should be geared toward beginner, intermediate, or advanced learners and can be a single speaker or panel discussion.

From an aspiring architect to Plumbing Engineer of the Year, Karl Caouette shares how mentorship, technical passion and a people-first mindset shaped his remarkable career in plumbing engineering.

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.
