Consulting-Specifying Engineer‘s Top 5 most read articles online, for November 14-20, covered fan-efficiency rules, evaluating condensation and condensate, engineer’s salaries, 2016 Comissioning Giants, and driving motor efficiency. Link to each article below.

1. Understanding the fan-efficiency rules

Fan efficiency is critical in HVAC and process air systems. The new proposed Department of Energy standard will drive changes in how engineers design air systems to minimize fan energy.

2. Evaluating condensation and condensate

Learn methods to capture, control, dispose, and derive the condensation requirements within HVAC systems.

3. How does your salary stack up?

Consulting engineers share information about compensation, accreditation, age, retirement goals, and business development via a national salary survey.

4. 2016 Commissioning Giants

Building commissioning providers are closely tracking the business, market, and technical trends that are influencing-and, in some cases, reshaping-their profession. At the top of the list are priorities that affect practical business decisions, both near-term and in the future.

5. Driving motor efficiency

Motor-driven equipment accounts for a large percentage of the electricity consumed in the industrial building sector of the U.S. However, that number is decreasing as motors and drives become more efficient.
