From hospitals and construction sites to retail stores and offices, workplace violence can come in many forms and happen anywhere. As many as 761,000 workers experience some form of physical assault in the workplace each year (according to the NSC), and the current or former workplaces of perpetrators were the most common sites for mass shootings. Even less harrowing events like threats or intimidation can be damaging to a workplace’s morale, culture, and output.

Engineers, developers, and designers often fail to prioritize security from the outset, and accountability is lacking. The recent headline-making incident  involving the compromise of Saflok's hotel lock system, potentially exposing three million hotel room locks, for example, clearly highlights this issue.

Studies have shown that heat emanating from basements, train tunnels, sewers, and other underground systems in major metropolises in the United States and Europe is heating the ground between city surfaces and the bedrock by as much as 27 degrees Fahrenheit in some places over the past several decades. This subterranean heating, dubbed “underground climate change” by scientists, is affecting ground soil conditions, causing layers of sand, clay, and rock to expand or contract by as much as half an inch beneath some buildings.
