If you’re reading this, you are likely aware of the current supply chain challenges in the U.S. My guess is you’ve also been impacted by the drag it’s creating on economic activity. There are multiple reasons why the U.S. supply chain is in its current condition, but what’s important is understanding that the U.S. supply…
As I began researching and writing this piece, a small banner on Regeneration.org gently reminded me that there were 2,999 days until 2030. 2,999 days seemed like plenty of time to apply the solutions needed to overcome the climate crisis. However, also open on my desktop was the 1965 report “Restoring the Quality of Our…
Our design approach at Henderson Engineers is centered around processes that deliver quality in the mostinnovative and efficient manner. Digital twins, which are virtual, identical representations of the building systems we design, assist in making informed decisions during every stage of a building’s life cycle. By integrating Building Information Modeling (BIM), the Internet of…
What is the meaning of innovation? The definition may vary depending on who you ask and what their respective goals are, especially within the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry. Sean Turner, our innovation director, has appropriately dedicated considerable time during the past year toward defining innovation at Henderson Engineers with the aim of streamlining…
In August of this year, the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) published the first part of its Sixth Assessment Report, Climate Change 2021: The Physical Science Basis. This Sixth Assessment reviews and synthesizes 14,000 scientific publications to provide unified information on the current state of the climate, including how it is changing, the…
The release of last month’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report reinforces the immediate need to make significant cuts in carbon dioxide emissions – approximately 7.6% per year. With climate conditions consistently exceeding typical meteorological year conditions, the harmful effects of global warming are seen in record-breaking storms. However, there is still hope that…
Kevin Butler, Henderson’s esports practice leader, recently represented Henderson at the 2021 EsportsNext conference in Chicago. Hosted by the Esports Trade Association (ESTA), the annual conference brings together industry professionals to exchange ideas and insights on the rapidly evolving competitive gaming industry. A variety of topics were presented, and we’ve shared takeaways from conference sessions…
Over the past few months I’ve been sharing my thoughts on Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DfMA) and how, here at Henderson Engineers, we’re exploring DfMA in our design process to increase efficiencies and cost-effective outcomes. In my recent article about the DFMA process, I speculated that using a standard, repeatable duct module for a…
I’ve written a few articles recently on Building Information Modeling (BIM) and how it’s crucial to our design process at Henderson Engineers. BIM uses data to generate digital representations of a facility’s physical and functional characteristics, including the building systems we engineer. But BIM isn’t a singular idea or just 3D modeling software; it’s an…
Healthcare representatives from Henderson Engineers recently attended the 2021 Environments for Aging Expo & Conference (EFA Expo), an annual event focused on senior living design. The three-day conference provided a wealth of information on how senior living is progressing across the country. While only 13% of the U.S. population was above 65 in 2013, the…
I recently wrote an article exploring the meaning of quality in relation to engineering. I described how we define quality at Henderson Engineers within our design process, and how our firm’s end deliverable is quality work. But our process – the actions we need to take to achieve quality work – doesn’t live in some…
Healthcare representatives from both Henderson Engineers and Henderson Building Solutions recently attended Vanderbilt University’s Healthcare Summit and the American Society of Healthcare Engineers (ASHE) Annual Conferences. A wealth of information was shared, networking was back in practice, and we were excited to see our friends in person again. As you can imagine, discussions revolved around…
