The ARC Awards honor engineers and their firms who have incorporated unique MEP design elements into commercial, institutional and industrial building projects. The projects are judged by CSE staff, the CSE editorial advisory board and other engineers and industry professionals. Editors respond: From 1965 through 1970, Consulting-Specifying Engineer’s predecessor, Actual Specifying Engineer, ran a series of articles on overcurrent protection. Due to the immense popularity of the 31 installments in the series, the authors, George Farrell and Frank Valvoda, PE, reprised the series in an updated version beginning in the Feb. 1989 issue of CSE. We are bringing this series back once again in monthly installments at csemag.com, and plan to bring the entire series together as an eBook.
