Quality is integral to everything we do at Henderson Engineers, and our application of building Information Modeling (BIM) is no exception. To achieve quality design with BIM you must also have a quality model. But if you’re looking to cover up a bad design with a good model, you’ve missed the point. As our Director…
Have you considered what “quality” really is? It seems straightforward enough. We know quality when we see it. We know quality when we interact with it. But do we know what it means? As Director of Engineering at Henderson Engineers, driving an emphasis on quality is central to my role. I oversee staff training and…
We continuously strive to innovate at Henderson Engineers. One way we’re doing so is by using Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DfMA) in our projects. (Check out this post I wrote for a brief overview of DfMA.) Our first opportunity to implement DfMA presented itself at the end of 2020. A client approached us to…
According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the U.S. experiences an average of 70,000 wildfires every year. The fires and ensuing clouds of smoke present a challenge to the safety and well-being of building occupants. This guide highlights multiple strategies for limiting wildfire smoke from entering into buildings. These recommendations are based on…
Implementing dynamic methods to innovate with design is standard practice at Henderson Engineers. One of the tools we rely on to help us determine the best system design for a space is Building Information Modeling (BIM). BIM is a process that uses data to generate digital representations of a facility’s physical and functional characteristics, including…
Henderson Engineers has decades of experience designing refrigeration systems across grocery, retail, and warehouse environments, so we have our finger on the pulse of how the cold storage market is shifting to accommodate the latest trends. While the COVID-19 pandemic contributed to the pervasiveness of online grocery shopping, the cold storage landscape was already rapidly…
Cold storage design for the warehouse and distribution industry has rapidly evolved. Along with the ever-looming driver of climate change, COVID-19 has accelerated the need for efficient and sustainable refrigeration systems. And because the right refrigeration solution depends on a variety of factors, there’s no one-size-fits-all design. Below Jen Jewers Bowlin, principal and lead program…
With more than 50 years of experience designing building systems for retail and healthcare spaces, adapting to the growing medtail trend has been seamless for Henderson Engineers. While it’s not a new concept, medtail is gaining traction as an avenue for healthcare providers to increase patient convenience by capitalizing on available retail space. Henderson’s retail…
It’s in our DNA to be innovative here at Henderson. And to us, part of being innovative means creating efficiency. Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DfMA) – an emerging approach in the AEC world – has been vital in our exploration of how to continue pushing boundaries through our designs while still keeping efficiency in…
Even if you haven’t heard of “medtail,” it’s likely you’ve encountered the concept as a consumer. Born from the desire to make healthcare more accessible and convenient, medtail spaces provide health and wellness services in convenient locations where consumers already live, work, and shop. Medtail is quickly becoming the perfect partnership for hospitals and healthcare…
At Henderson Engineers, it’s in our nature to seek the most innovative and efficient solutions for our clients and to constantly try to improve our process. One design concept that’s been a natural shift to propel our projects to the next level is generative design. Generative design is essentially an iterative design process that uses…
As time goes on we find more and more reasons to focus on improving indoor air quality (IAQ). Whether is allergens, pollutants, smells, or even the unknown potential for infection spread, the general public is expecting the air they breathe in the buildings in which they live, work, and play to be filtered or treated….
