A microcosm of mentoring

摘要

Don't you love it when a plan comes together, especially when the plan is realized in hindsight?rnIn this issue, David Peters, PE, publishes his last technical article before retiring with 54 years in the HVAC industry. His article on page 20 describes a 700,000-sq-ft underfloor air distribution (UFAD) design for a headquarters office building for the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA), which is within the U.S. Dept. of Defense. Peters, who also led the design team for the federal General Services Administration's U.S. Census Bureau Building, incorporated lessons learned about the 1-million-sq-ft UFAD system from that project, into the DISA project. His article highlights the DISA UFAD design and documents those lessons for the benefit of other engineers and projects.
