Innovating our way through the recession
One of the best things about being in the engineering field is that we get to witness new technologies and processes as soon as they're on the market--new products, groundbreaking projects, and... » more
MEP Roundtable: Industrial strength
Manufacturing and industrial structures can have wide-ranging engineering needs, depending on the processes conducted inside. » more
Selecting UPS for mission critical projects
A well-designed and properly applied UPS can protect critical loads from power quality anomalies. » more
Emerging UPS technologies, applications
Several emerging UPS technologies are gaining acceptance. Some of these up-and-coming UPS types include superconductive magnetic energy storage (SMES), flywheels, super capacitors, and fuel cells. » more
UPS efficiency and LEED certification
LEED certification for a project demonstrates a dedication to sustainability and energy efficiency. » more
Data center efficiency, cooling considerations
Engineers should know how inefficiencies in electrical systems affect data center cooling load. » more
Sorting out the changes in NFPA 70E-2012
The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) revises NFPA 70E: Standards for Electrical Safety in the Workplace every three years. The latest version, the 2012 edition, was released in September... » more
Transformer efficiency: Yesterday’s news, tomorrow’s concerns
Although many engineers and design professionals don’t get a lot of time to spend looking under the hood of equipment, we should certainly take a closer look at transformers. » more
Boiler systems: Economics and efficiencies
Engineers can meet a building’s hot water needs with today’s boiler systems. » more
Economic analysis in individual project selection
Using net present value analysis instead of the rate of return will treat investment scale as one of the key value drivers, and will help engineers select money-making projects. » more
