Many young engineers enter the HVAC industry with little experience physically building their designs. They fail to realize that what fits in a 3D model doesn’t necessarily work in reality once you add in hangers, equipment clearances, and construction tolerance. This seminar provides lessons learned from a young engineer and suggestions on methods to teach young engineers and more experienced engineers who are entering the design build field, how to design for construction.
