Top articles from this past week covered topics including low-voltage power conductors, decentralized DHW and hydronic heating systems. Catch up with a link to each article below.

1. Back to basics: Sizing low-voltage power conductors for a lift station

Electrical engineers must learn to size electrical conductors appropriately per the NEC

2. Decentralized DHW offer safer, more sustainable building design solutions

Substations improve domestic hot water (DHW) hygiene and maximize hydronic heating efficiencies to lower system energy costs, reduce building maintenance, support sustainability efforts, and minimize risk

3. Hydronic heating systems: How can you save by lowering the water temperature?

Lowering the temperature of heating hot water systems is a key step toward decreasing energy used to heat buildings, and toward decarbonization and electrification

4. Connected systems create a new era in advanced lighting control

Connected lighting systems can help improve user experience and optimize operational capabilities. Learn key considerations when specifying these systems.

5. Dive into the details of the latest engineering salary survey

Respondents to the 2022 salary study were paid better and mostly satisfied with their jobs
