About Cabling Installation & Maintenance

Our mission: Bringing practical business and technical intelligence to today's structured cabling professionals

For more than 30 years, Cabling Installation & Maintenance has provided useful, practical information to professionals responsible for the specification, design, installation and management of structured cabling systems serving enterprise, data center and other environments. These professionals are challenged to stay informed of constantly evolving standards, system-design and installation approaches, product and system capabilities, technologies, as well as applications that rely on high-performance structured cabling systems. Our editors synthesize these complex issues into multiple information products. This portfolio of information products provides concrete detail that improves the efficiency of day-to-day operations, and equips cabling professionals with the perspective that enables strategic planning for networks’ optimum long-term performance.

Throughout our annual magazine, weekly email newsletters and 24/7/365 website, Cabling Installation & Maintenance digs into the essential topics our audience focuses on.

  • Design, Installation and Testing: We explain the bottom-up design of cabling systems, from case histories of actual projects to solutions for specific problems or aspects of the design process. We also look at specific installations using a case-history approach to highlight challenging problems, solutions and unique features. Additionally, we examine evolving test-and-measurement technologies and techniques designed to address the standards-governed and practical-use performance requirements of cabling systems.
  • Technology: We evaluate product innovations and technology trends as they impact a particular product class through interviews with manufacturers, installers and users, as well as contributed articles from subject-matter experts.
  • Data Center: Cabling Installation & Maintenance takes an in-depth look at design and installation workmanship issues as well as the unique technology being deployed specifically for data centers.
  • Physical Security: Focusing on the areas in which security and IT—and the infrastructure for both—interlock and overlap, we pay specific attention to Internet Protocol’s influence over the development of security applications.
  • Standards: Tracking the activities of North American and international standards-making organizations, we provide updates on specifications that are in-progress, looking forward to how they will affect cabling-system design and installation. We also produce articles explaining the practical aspects of designing and installing cabling systems in accordance with the specifications of established standards.

Ontario Pilot Program Tests Future of Advanced Hybrid Heating

By: 3BL Media

London Hydro, Enbridge Gas tout energy efficiency and carbon reduction

SOURCE: Enbridge

DESCRIPTION:

A new pilot project in London, ON is putting a leading-edge residential hybrid heating system through its paces.

The two-year pilot, a collaboration between London Hydro and Enbridge Gas, aims to determine how effectively electric air-source heat pumps, combined with homeowners’ existing high-efficiency gas furnaces, are at reducing greenhouse gas emissions and decreasing energy consumption. It’s the first pilot of its kind in Ontario, and the latest in a growing slate of Enbridge Gas low-carbon initiatives.

“The best thing about the pilot is the leading-edge technology that homeowners will be testing,” says Octavian Ghiricociu, a technology advisor with the Enbridge Gas energy conservation and marketing team.

“Integrated smart controls combined with a hybrid heating system can switch automatically between electricity and natural gas, depending on electricity price signals and weather forecasts,” adds Ghiricociu. “We will be monitoring the impact on homeowners’ energy consumption, as well as their energy costs, greenhouse gas emissions and overall satisfaction.”

Hybrid heating systems can reduce a home’s greenhouse gas emissions by as much as 30% while increasing the flexibility and fuel cost resiliency of its heating system, says Sarah Van Der Paelt, director of marketing and energy conservation at Enbridge Gas. “We are proud to join the City of London and London Hydro in supporting this pilot program and its ongoing commitment to energy efficiency and carbon reduction measures. Together, we’re working towards a future with cleaner energy.”

The city of London and its electricity distributor London Hydro were natural choices as collaborators for the pilot. In 2019, the city declared a climate emergency for the purposes of “naming, framing, and deepening the City’s commitment to protecting our economy, our eco systems, and our community from climate change,” says Jamie Skimming, manager of energy and climate change for the City of London. “Hybrid home heating systems like this are a great new tool to help residents reduce their greenhouse gas emissions, and an important step towards responding to the climate emergency.”

Ghiricociu’s team started developing the concept for the pilot program in 2020. “We began with a roadshow for heating and air conditioning manufacturers during the first wave of the pandemic, educating people about the benefits of smart controls and future compliance with stricter future efficiency requirements.”

By August 2021, the team was ready to start marketing the pilot to homeowners through manufacturers’ HVAC contractor base. “We moved quickly because Enbridge fully supports Natural Resource Canada’s aspirational goals of transitioning to a low-carbon economy,” Ghiricociu says. “In Ontario, our goal is to enable the adoption of technologies that are appropriate for new residential construction and retrofit markets.”

At present, the project aims to replace about 100 existing air conditioners with ducted air-source heat pumps, integrated with smart controls, to create the hybrid heating solution. Eligible customers—including London employees and families of Enbridge Gas and London Hydro—will receive a $3,200 rebate once the hybrid heating solution is installed in their homes. Monitoring and verification of the system runs until August 2023.
