A life isn’t a life until you’ve lived it.

When and how a financial and engineering evaluation should be utilized. 

Explaining the nuances between HVAC engineering’s five most common project delivery methods.

The COVID-19 pandemic has been upon us for several months now, and 20/20 hindsight is asking, “Why weren’t we ready for the pandemic?” So, as I sit and listen to the daily news while “sheltering-n-place,” it got me thinking of another potential pandemic: building security and safety. 

America, as well as the rest of the world, is fighting to beat a pandemic crisis like nothing experienced since the 1918 Spanish Flu pandemic. 

I have a feature article published in this issue of Engineered Systems magazine, on Page 28, highlighting a project at the Watergate facility. 

Having worked on both sides of the design and build business segments, I thought I’d share my own experience with how estimators and contractors, along with the in-the-field workforce, can contribute to the optimum HVAC system design when working with the consulting engineer as a team. 

This month, we at Engineered Systems magazine celebrate and highlight the winners of our 20 to Watch: Women in HVAC contest. 

This month, I will continue to discuss the forgotten skills of steam system design.
