Hi, It's your friendly neighborhood discussion grader signing in with my weekly blog post. Overall, well done on the HVAC discussions, and I think everyone has figured out the key to doing well in these discussions by now. I would like to make a few general comments:
- As most of you noticed, the future of HVAC design is in making buildings more efficient and technologically advanced.
- The most tricky part of things like net-zero buildings, smart homes, etc. is to increase efficiency without sacrificing comfort or safety.
- Another large concentration in HVAC is Indoor Air Quality, which is becoming a huge concern in large cities where pollution is a problem.
As I have said about previous discussions, only a handful of you will end up practicing HVAC engineering in your career. I would argue that these discussions are more important to the people not interested in that particular topic, because they force you to build some knowledge base, at least to the point where you can understand what your HVAC engineer is talking about. Please make an effort when doing these discussions to glean some understanding of the topic you are reading about. If you learn even just one thing from each discussion, you will grow and become a much more rounded engineer.
Thanks, and Happy Discussing!
-Brad
