Are you sharing statistics about the promising career of HVAC engineering? Or are you sharing stories about the projects and solutions you’ve been lucky enough to be a part of? The way you design your story and how you choose to share it can either leave people bored or inspired — you choose.

If we're designing for changes in conditions, like occupancy, use, public safety, etc., are we also accounting for the possible changes in temperature, weather patterns, and natural disasters — not the historical or average but the undocumented, yet to come?

We're all guilty of doing things a certain way in our personal and professional lives simply because that's how we've always done them. But, imagine what would happen if we started asking ourselves and our peers questions that forced us to really think about the "Why?" before we decided on the "How?" 

The built environment is not made up of the latest and greatest equipment that we see at tradeshows and greenfield construction sites. We're still using the old technologies, so can't we find some way to make them better?

A resolution is a firm decision to either do or not do something, and I don't know what the future outside of my control has in store. So, rather than boxing myself into the situations I decided would happen, I like to open myself up to the opportunities that knock.

One thing is for certain: Across the U.S., you’d be hard-pressed to find a building — residential or commercial — that’s without some sort of HVAC system.
