Standardizing NFPA 13
NFPA 13-2016 is applicable to all sprinkler system designs and installations, with the exception of sprinkler systems in low-rise residential buildings and one- and two-family dwellings and manufactured homes.
2019 NFPA 13 reorganized
NFPA 13-2019 was updated and reorganized in many ways. Here’s what you need to know to keep up with the new edition.
Examining higher education facilities: HVAC and plumbing
As technology advances in every field, the college and university students being prepped for future careers in those fields need the tech they’re learning with to keep up. That presents unique challenges for the engineers working on such structures—specifying advanced systems that satisfy the unique needs of each institution. Here, professionals with experience in the area offer advice on how to tackle such facilities and receivetop marksin regard to HVAC and plumbing.

Water is the No. 1 resource
Engineers and scientists should do everything possible to keep freshwater sources available to everyone.
Bell & Gossett maximizes efficiency with parallel sensorless control technology
As the HVAC industry seeks energy-saving technologies, parallel pumping has emerged as a proven method of improving efficiency in pumping systems with higher control heads. With the advent of sensorless pump control technology, commercial and industrial water pumping systems can be optimized for even greater system efficiency. Innovative sensorless pump controllers like Bell & Gossett’s Parallel Pump System (PPS) have the ability to manage multiple pump output without a wired differential pressure transducer (DPT). Eliminating the need for an external sensor reduces installation costs and related maintenances costs, such as inspections, replacement and recalibration. With industry-leading features that exceed competitor offerings, B&G’s Parallel Pump System offers users a streamlined way to achieve higher energy efficiencies while lowering operating costs and extending equipment life. Intuitive technology Sensorless pump control technology relies on pump-specific algorithms, which can accurately predict where a pump operates on its curve.
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.
