 Top Consulting-Specifying Engineer articles this week covered topics including NFPA 20, hydronic heating systems and medium-voltage distribution systems.

1. Best practices: Ensuring NFPA 20 compliance with diesel-driven fire pumps

To meet NFPA 20, existing buildings must upgrade fire pumps. Learn how

2. 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

3. Back to basics: How to design medium-voltage distribution systems

When designing a medium-voltage electrical distribution system, the end user’s safety, system reliability and equipment maintainability are key components for the designer to consider.

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

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

5. How to prevent shock and arc flash hazards in electrical systems

This article serves as a guide to understanding electrical hazards and establishing electrically safe work environments
