The American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) assigned the United States’ DRINKING WATER infrastructure a grade of “D-” on their 2009 Report Card for America’s Infrastructure. Easy access to fresh water is a modern convenience that we might take for granted in our daily lives. 二氧化碳（CO <子> 2 ）是人类呼吸的副产物。每个我们呼出时间，CO <子> 2 被释放到周围的大气中。 Currently, CO2 sensors can be used to automatically control ventilation systems in buildings equipped with Building Automation Systems (BAS). This is referred to as Demand Control Ventilation (DCV).
鸟控制是阻止从着陆，栖息鸟类，以及中和周围建筑物嵌套的方法。在不那么极端的例子，鸟儿在建筑物会阻碍工人的生产率和创造更多的建筑维护和清洁的挑战。在更极端的情况下，他们可能会损坏设备投资和创造显著安全隐患。幸运的是，存在整个行业里面提供各种产品和鸟类的控制，包括鸟尖峰，鸟震荡轨道，网，香水，线阵列技术，并捆绑电线杆等等。

The City of Takoma Park, Maryland, needed to replace a failing retaining wall that supports a roadway in a small residential development. The Linden Avenue site is directly adjacent to Sligo Creek, which is a tributary of Anacostia Creek, a river undergoing a significant restoration effort. T. E. Scott & Associates, Inc., designed a replacement for the failing retaining wall infrastructure, created a pocket park for the local residents, and provided water quality treatment for the unmanaged watershed. This combination of aesthetic and environmental improvements adds value to the project. We’ll look at some stormwater flow design calculations, a storm water flow splitter, an urban modular wetland unit, a step/plunge pool, and an interesting retaining wall design.
Buffalo Township’s wastewater treatment plant is located along Buffalo Creek in Pennsylvania, beneath the State Route 28 bridge. This type of wastewater treatment plant is perfect to serve smaller communities. It supports 6,000 people with 3,100 sewer connections to homes and businesses throughout Sarver, Pennsylvania, and the vicinity. It’s an excellent example of an efficient wastewater infrastructure that uses extended aeration to treat raw sewage, without any initial sedimentation.
信息上的低流动管道装置盛产和低流动和无水小便器现在被广泛使用。厕所的冲水量已经发展到每次冲1.6加仑，还不到上世纪80年代标准3.5加仑的一半。通过查看水费单和对每个装置每月的周期的估计，低流量装置能在公用事业成本上省钱的事实很清楚，也很容易计算出来。购买新设备的诱人回收期可以仅根据用水量来计算。然而，一些设施管理人员认为，这些管道装置提供的公用事业节约与它们产生的不可预见的维护和维修成本并不匹配。低流量管道装置是否提供了投资回报（ROI）一个较好的回报，问题出现了。
Michel Theriault understands the working environment that facility managers face daily – the technical challenges and opportunities within their facility management organizations and additionally the relationships and business dynamic beyond the facilities management staff. Many facility management resources offer the latest technical insights and maintenance strategies, but Theriault’s book takes on facilities management business aspects not often addressed in this field. Managing Facilities & Real Estate clearly stands out in this regard. It offers rare and valuable business advice for facility managers using practical and easy-to-read terminology and graphics. A challenge of mining operations and any project that disturbs large volumes of earth below grade is the potential to generate contaminated water runoff at the surface known as acid mine drainage (AMD). Precious metal and coal mine shafts traditionally require excavation below the water table, exposing metal sulfides in the disturbed earth and waste soils to the atmosphere and water. Similar exposure can occur during major highway construction projects. Stormwater runoff and water discharged from dewatering pumps related to these construction activities can be very low in pH (acidic) and can contain harmful metal ions. Eric McCleary of Greenhorne & O’Mara helped develop the successive alkalinity-producing system (SAPS) process to treat this AMD water and shares insights regarding this innovative technology with the Buildipedia audience. Originally developed as a checklist to be used during development and execution of Engineering, Procurement, and Construction contracts (EPC’s), Mike McMahon’s EPC Checklist has broad application -- whether you are developing project punch list items, ensuring separate tasks are scheduled by engineers, vendors, contractors and project managers, or providing construction inspectors a list of work items to validate in the field, this comprehensive list of questions will add value to your project. Sometimes construction project solutions and positive outcomes are all about knowing the right questions to ask -- here are 10,500 of them, organized by 176 subjects of construction work type. 使用形式旅行者系统提供的显著成本节约桥梁建设项目世界各地。We've partnered with Miguel Barreto from ConstruGomes of Portugal to highlight the key aspects of form traveller systems: how they offer cost advantages over traditional construction systems, in what situations they can best be utilized, and how they function.

迈克尔·休斯是建设厅在克利夫兰，俄亥俄州凯霍加大都会房屋委员会（CMHA）主任。He’s also one of the people most familiar with CMHA’s Building Automation System (BAS). In this lead article initiating a case study with CMHA, we’ll provide a summary overview of their BAS, which was installed by Siemens Building Technologies. In future articles, we’ll take some more in-depth journeys with Mr. Hughes into the BAS, including the daily use of the system. Throughout this series, we’ll cover some detailed time and cost-savings scenarios that BASs offer to building owners.
