Consulting-Specifying Engineer Top 5 most read articles online, for Sep. 7-13, covered fire detection and notification, fiber optics and building design, waste heat recovery, commissioning commercial buildings, and minimizing arc flash hazards. Link to each article below.
1. Your questions answered: Fire detection and notification
Fire detection and notification systems are complex for fire protection engineers to design. The presenters from the Aug. 27 webcast offer additional guidance.
2. Fiber optics: a backbone for advanced building design
Fiber-optic cables are an integral part of a building communication system. Although they are commonly installed for the enterprise network communication, they are also designed into building-management systems and electrical-power coordination.
3. Recycling 101: waste heat recovery
Waste heat recovery systems are increasingly used in mixed-use buildings to move waste heat from laboratories, data centers, or industrial activities to provide beneficial heating in other parts of the building.
4. Commissioning commercial buildings
Ideally, all nonresidential buildings would be commissioned, and the team would start at the onset of the project. Because that’s not always the case, commissioning authorities and experts offer advice on building projects in various stages of commissioning, recommissioning, or retro-commissioning.
5. Minimizing arc flash hazards
Rely on codes and standards to develop a robust arc flash mitigation plan.
The list was developed using CFE Media’s web analytics for stories viewed on csemag.com, September 7-13, for articles published within the last two months.
