1. 2014 40 Under 40 Winners

The seventh annual 40 Under 40 award winners are a dynamic bunch with the future of the industry in their sights.

2. Resources for boiler codes and standards

Know the codes, standards, and resources when working on boilers and boiler system design like the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, which are pertinent and vital to the HVAC industry.

3. Considerations for building energy modeling

Here’s a review of initial energy modeling performed during a project from the interview phase to development of final models used for documenting compliance to energy codes or for LEED certification, through a client’s survey one year after occupancy. Here’s what works, what doesn’t, and what value can be achieved from each step in the process.

4. Designing efficient, effective boilers

Several codes and standards regulate boiler specification, plus energy efficiency and efficacy of these boiler systems.

5. Criteria for selecting arc flash protection techniques, Part 2

Conducting an arc flash study to identify hazards and proper PPE and tools is critical in reducing the risk of arc flash incidents.

The list was developed using CFE Media’s web analytics for stories viewed on csemag.com, May 19-26, for articles published within the last two months.
