The medical gas code updates within NFPA 99
With the continuing evolution of patient care and the support systems of those spaces, medical gas has evolved to supply a safer and more effective patient experience.
Project Profile: 1771 N Street
The 1771 N Street project focused on the ceiling height being right up against the bottom of the beams while planning for ductwork and piping.
How to use the International Plumbing Code
Learn about design criteria for the design of plumbing systems
How to mitigate reverse flow
Reverse flow in piping systems manifest into the form of sporadic pipeline vibrations, media contamination or physical damage
Using fire pump speed as a design consideration
Pump speed has always been a critical factor in assessing fire protection system performance and can now be used as much more of a design consideration
Sustainable water piloting potable reuse
Some are implementing resilient approaches to expand sources of potable water supply and meet growing demand through the implementation of recycled water as a source of water.
