Tall Buildings Council Offers Nearly Everything You Might Want to Know About Skyscrapers
A record demand for tall and supertall buildings appears to be alive and well. But the big question is whether it will stay that way.
The Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat, in its 2018 CTBUH Tall Building Year in Review
, found that 18 supertall buildings 300 meters or taller completed construction last year-a record number that beats 2017, but only by three. The number of completed buildings in 2018, at least 200 m and including at least 300-m-plus buildings, is 143. That is four fewer high-rises than in 2017.

Federal Court Ruling Preserves "Professional Engineer" Designation
nspe.org
A federal judge has ruled that an Oregon man was within his First Amendment rights when he referred to himself as an "engineer," even though he was not licensed as a professional engineer. This ruling does not, in any way, weaken or change the fact that only PEs may engage in the professional practice of engineering in the state, nor that only licensed individuals may call themselves professional engineers or PEs.

EPA Proposal Would End PE Requirement
nspe.org
NSPE has raised objections to the Environmental Protection Agency's proposed elimination of a requirement that closed vent emissions system modifications be reviewed and sealed by a professional engineer. The objections were outlined in a public comment to the agency, which is reconsidering emission standards for the oil and natural gas sector. Under the current rule, anytime a closed vent system is altered or modified, the changes must be reviewed and sealed by a professional engineer. The EPA wants to relax that rule, however, and allow approval by nonlicensed in-house engineers.
