While the DTC Team was at the 2023 AHR Expo, there was an article in the Day 2 Expo daily newspaper titled “Math Matters.” That title definitely caught my attention.

To Set Back or Not to Set Back? That Is the Question
It’s a question most HVAC engineers have been asked at least once – do HVAC setbacks really save energy? Does it make sense to let the space heat up, and then run the system hard to bring the temperature back down? A group of HVAC engineers using models that include building thermal mass and cooling […]
“Absolutely what I needed to keep me on track.”
“I live a very busy life with my wife, five children, and a full-time plus part-time job. Two years ago I started trying to prepare for the PE and was overwhelmed after reviewing the MERM. Then I bought your course, and your “Let’s get started…” voice became part of my early morning routine. Your course […]
The Most Important Reason to become a PE
I have just returned from the AHR Expo in Atlanta, and one of the questions I was asked numerous times was, “As a mechanical engineer, why should I get my PE?” This is a question I’ve given a lot of thought, and I think is addressed well in a November 2020 ASME article, “The Path […]
