Energy efficiency is advancing rapidly, posing new challenges for product capabilities and application processes. One significant change is the shift from NFRC standard size U-values to project-specific U-values for fenestration.

⚠️ Enforcing the building code and local regulations is 𝐍𝐎𝐓 an option! The Structural Engineers Association of California (SEAOC) has identified recurring irregularities in the 𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐥𝐨𝐚𝐝 𝐟𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐝𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝐛𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐭. These discrepancies in design now result in a 17-fold increase in the likelihood of critical uplift from the roof when compared to a code-compliant design. ❓𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐦𝐚𝐲 𝐰𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫, " 𝐀𝟏𝟕-𝐟𝐨𝐥𝐝 𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞? 𝐀𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭?"  Well, here are the 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐬 you might not want to ignore: - Potential Physical Injury - Property Damage = Building and Roof Damages 🏠 - Downtime = Energy Production Loss ⚡ - Legal Consequences = Fines, Penalties, and Legal Actions ⚖️ - Reputation Damage = Loss of Confidence from Clients, Stakeholders, etc. If solar is to prevail in the future, proper 𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 must remain our industry's core value in project development. 🏗️ Thank you Joe Maffei and Rob Ward for this article.

What are the current challenges for #gridoperators and how can Engineering Base help? 🤔 We talked to Michael Renghart about this topic. He is head of planning/construction #substations & #switchingstations at Bayernwerk He explains in the video why the company decided to use #EngineeringBase and how it makes everyday work in the company easier. Just take a look 😊 #energyinfrastructure #gridexpansion #sustainability

🔌 Efficiency Redefined: Modular Electrical Systems in Construction ⚡ In the fast-paced world of construction, time is of the essence. That's where Modular Electrical Systems step in, revolutionizing how we approach electrical installations. By pre-fabricating components off-site, we're able to significantly cut down on on-site installation time. This not only boosts efficiency but also enhances safety, as much of the work is done in controlled environments. Beyond speed, modular systems contribute to sustainability efforts. They drastically reduce material waste, aligning seamlessly with the industry's push for greener practices. With optimized energy usage, they're a win-win for both productivity and the environment. The adaptability of modular systems makes them suitable for a wide range of projects, from residential to commercial. This versatility, coupled with their efficiency gains, is reshaping the future of construction. Let's build smarter and more sustainably, one connection at a time! 💡🏗️ #ConstructionTech #SustainableConstruction
