This webinar helps plumbing engineers enhance their knowledge and expertise in the use of SWVs to prevent sewer gas exposure in buildings with sporadic or seasonal use. Participants will gain insights into the advantages, applications, and regulatory considerations associated with these valves, helping them stay up-to-date with industry trends and best practices.

One of the overriding documents impacting engineers is “the code.” Whether it be the Plumbing Code or a combination of the Plumbing Code, Building Code, Mechanical Code, Fuel Gas Code, and Residential Code, “the code” controls the design of any project. Understanding the code changes the document from a hindrance to a help. A better understanding and knowledge of “the code” will make designs and projects run smoother and more economically. The course will help the engineer to understand the value of the codes and how to use them effectively and efficiently.

Domestic Water Treatment A to Z

This presentation will explain key firestopping considerations for combustible thermoplastic piping systems. It will cover the common materials found in the industry as well as the different outside diameters, wall thickness, burning properties, vented versus closed piping systems, and codes & standards that affect the type of firestopping needed to ensure necessary fire ratings are met and building occupants are kept safe.

This course will take the engineer through the various field-devised methods and engineered solutions for pipe supports and restraints. Once the course is over the engineer will be able to recognize the value and importance of disallowing field-devised methods and update plumbing specifications to include engineered solutions.

This 60-minute course covers the basics of water chemistry, water softening, reverse osmosis, and application of these processes in commercial projects.

This course will cover the basics of vacuum plumbing technology, current systems in use, and how it can benefit the project from design to closeout.

This course will outline the importance of proper firestopping design and recognizing the advantage of manufactured systems. Once the course is over the engineer will be able to recognize the importance of manufactured systems and update plumbing specifications to include manufactured, tested systems.

The NFPA 99 "Health Care Facilities Code" 2021 is on it's way! While there are a smaller number of changes than in many previous cycles, there is at least one with very far reaching consequences for any engineer working in health care. Join us and get up to date with all the major changes in this cycle.

In this presentation, we review the impact of common building water issues, the principles of effective water management, and how automation technology can improve the user experience, save water and energy, and support fundamental legionella control measures.

This one-hour webinar will introduce the basics of actuation that will appear in MEP Design.
