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.

Ameresco and U.S. Army’s Detroit Arsenal Harness Cutting-Edge 3D Printing to Transform Building Efficiency and Sustainability

Department of Defense’s ESTCP project leverages advanced 3D fabrication to boost energy performance and reduce emissions at key U.S. Army facility

Ameresco, Inc., (NYSE: AMRC), a leading energy solutions provider dedicated to helping customers navigate the energy transition, today announced a significant new project with the U.S. Army’s Detroit Arsenal, a key facility in Warren, Michigan. This project is among the first within the Department of Defense to demonstrate the potential of 3D printing for large-scale energy efficiency upgrades, aiming to provide a model for future military and federal building retrofits. As part of the Department of Defense’s Environmental Security Technology Certification Program (ESTCP), this initiative aims to improve building insulation and energy performance through a state-of-the-art 3D fabrication process, contributing to the Department of Defense’s (DoD) broader sustainability and resilience goals.

Ameresco, in collaboration with Branch Technology and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), will design and install a custom-made, energy-efficient envelope over cladding system using Branch Technology's Cellular Fabrication (C-Fab®) process. This innovative approach digitally scans, designs, and manufactures insulation panels through advanced 3D printing, creating a tailored, cost-effective solution that significantly enhances the energy performance of the facility’s exterior.

“Partnering with the U.S. Army as they push the envelope on sustainable innovation is inspiring,” said Nicole Bulgarino, President of Federal Solutions and Utility Infrastructure at Ameresco. “This pilot project isn’t just about lowering energy costs; it’s about rethinking how we approach building retrofits across large institutions. Using 3D printing to bring energy efficiency to Detroit Arsenal is a bold step, and we’re proud to be part of the Army’s journey toward a greener future.”

The project covers approximately 6,250 square feet of Detroit Arsenal’s building envelope, and is expected to improve energy efficiency by 50%, resulting in reduced energy costs and a significant reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. As an innovative pilot project, NREL will host a 300-square-foot mockup installation at their research facility in Colorado, where energy savings and cost-effectiveness will be closely evaluated.
