The built environment is not made up of the latest and greatest equipment that we see at tradeshows and greenfield construction sites. We're still using the old technologies, so can't we find some way to make them better?

The Hydraulic Institute (HI) recently announced the recipients of its prestigious awards which were delivered at the HI 2024 Annual Conference Awards dinner.

The Hydraulic Institute (HI) installed new leadership during the 2024 Annual Conference in Ponte Vedra Beach, FL.

This article explores how to refine and enhance the efficiency of pumping to match precisely to load, balancing the interests of pump experts — favoring primary-secondary piping — with those on the “boiler side” who prefer a variable speed/variable flow approach.  

Evaporative cooling towers play an important role in green buildings by significantly reducing energy consumption when they supplement or replace traditional air conditioning systems, thereby reducing carbon footprint and operating costs.

Redelman discusses the advantages of mixed reality headset adoption in the construction, multitrade and engineering industries.

Electrification of existing buildings may or may not require an upgrade of the electrical service size.
 

The decision to rent or buy a boiler is a critical one for businesses that rely on steam generation for their operations.

In the complex world of building infrastructure, boilers are fundamental, serving as the cornerstone of heating systems. Much like maintaining personal health, ensuring a building’s boiler is in optimal condition is essential, particularly during the winter.

Troubleshooting boiler issues is primarily reactive, driven by sensors, sounds, and alarms; but the Internet of Things (IoT) is changing that.
