Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Wiring standards change set to change in July from
EAL, which we summarised at the time by saying "EAL has released a series of vocationally related qualifications (VRQs), which specifically support BS7671:2008".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Drives power into the theatre of dreams from
ABB Automation Tech (Drives and Motors): "One of the main attractions in choosing ABB's HVAC drives was their native, or built-in, BACnet communications capability".
In November 2007, we covered the news from Spirax Sarco
concerning its Steam system training
- take a look at Brochure details steam system training
which says: "Extensive range of training courses during 2008 will cover all aspects of designing, operating and maintaining steam systems".
Take a look also at the news release from Eaton Corp, Switchboard provides uninterruptible power,
as well as HVAC checklist covers drive options from ABB Automation Tech (Drives and Motors),
