In this installment of our Ask an Engineering Expert series, Marcin Jakubowski, Senior Mechanical Engineer at RTM Engineering Consultants, answers the question: What trends do you see today in the design of industrial, manufacturing, and warehouse facilities?

Lighting in industrial facilities

Results of the 2018 lighting & lighting controls study indicate five key findings.

Designing industrial, manufacturing, and warehouse facilities: HVAC and plumbing

More than just places to make and store products, industrial, manufacturing, and warehouse facilities are becoming more complex. Heating, cooling, ventilation, and plumbing must be carefully designed.

Designing industrial, manufacturing, and warehouse facilities: Codes and standards

More than just places to make and store products, industrial, manufacturing, and warehouse facilities are becoming more complex. Building codes and standards dictate design and safety elements.

Designing industrial, manufacturing, and warehouse facilities: Building automation and controls

More than just places to make and store products, industrial, manufacturing, and warehouse facilities are becoming more complex. The processes and automation within these buildings are important to the building owners, and the building automation and control systems keep the occupants comfortable.

Designing industrial, manufacturing, and warehouse facilities

More than just places to make and store products, industrial, manufacturing, and warehouse facilities are becoming more complex. Owners are more demanding in the face of ever-evolving supply chain demands and technological advancements.

Designing industrial, manufacturing, and warehouse facilities: Electrical, power, and lighting

More than just places to make and store products, industrial, manufacturing, and warehouse facilities are becoming more complex. Electrical and power systems require detailed engineering, and lighting systems are key for all work spaces.

Designing industrial, manufacturing, and warehouse facilities: Sustainability and energy efficiency

More than just places to make and store products, industrial, manufacturing, and warehouse facilities are becoming more complex. Sustainability, energy efficiency, renewable energy, and high-performance designs are coming into play.
