I'm on to another new business venture! Last month, it was the vision of proactive IAQ management. This time, I have a more realistic goal: integrating computer programming with engineering. Vital to my quest and my vision is finding a way of capturing building design, construction, operation, maintenance, and/or master planning needs on a computer.
I believe this concept is the next generation of building technology that started (for me) last year in this space when I addressed the need to establish an industry standard for completing punchlists. At that time, Amanda Parolise rolled out a "paper version" standardized format to complete this task in her "Hvacr Designer Tips" (March 2001).
