Automation is being used to enhance energy monitoring and increase connectivity in college and university buildings. Five engineers discuss current and future trends in college and university building design.
Engineers need to be up-to-date on the latest codes and standards to ensure that college and university buildings are designed to the highest possible standard. Automation is a key consideration when designing manufacturing facilities.
Experts discuss the benefits and risks in this roundtable. Fire protection engineers need to consider codes and standards early in the design process to ensure that all requirements are met. Industrial facility designs are increasingly incorporating sustainable features and high-performance standards like LEED and net zero energy to address challenges in energy storage, fire safety and renewable energy integration.
Experts discuss the unique challenges that industrial and manufacturing facilities present for design engineers in this roundtable. Current trends in industrial and manufacturing facilities include the rise of automation and AI, integration of IoT and addressing supply chain issues. Overcome construction challenges by involving contractors from Day One using the design-assist model. The communications category of construction is growing rapidly, especially as broadband internet service is brought to rural areas.
The communication category of construction includes telephone, television and radio distribution and maintenance buildings. The vast majority of these structures are privately owned. Data by Morrissey Goodale on important recent updates on the conservation and development market.
