Designing high-tech K-12 schools
The technology at play in today’s K-12 schools is evolving rapidly—inside the classrooms, and in the various systems behind the scenes. Engineers handling such projects, whether the work is on new facilities or retrofits, have their work cut out for them.
Designing data center air handling and conditioning systems
Strategies for implementing new air handling systems, including specific performance criteria, energy use targets, climate and heat recovery are among the many topics to be addressed during the conceptual engineering and design process.
Considerations for electrical testing and commissioning
The need for testing and commissioning electrical equipment and systems varies by project, client, system, and building codes.
