Consulting-Specifying Engineer’s top 5 most read articles online, for June 5 to June 11, covered design for DOAS, lighting controls, BIM, lighting protection systems, and performance-based energy design. Link to each article below.

1. Using performance-based design for DOAS

Performance-based design influences the specification of dedicated outside air systems (DOAS) products and systems.

2. Networked lighting controls

With the advent of building technology comes the need for monitoring and intercommunication between heating, cooling, electrical, lighting, fire/life safety, and other systems for optimized efficiency and operation.

3. Using BIM for project coordination

BIM is used frequently when working across multiple disciplines, which can prevent clashes across mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire protection engineering and with other stakeholders. 

4. Understanding lightning protection systems


Scientific advances improve lightning protection for mission critical facilities. 

5. Achieving energy performance-based design goals

Performance-based design allows design teams creative freedom when integrating energy efficiency strategies into a facility.
