A Family Tradition

Posted by Peter Moskal on Feb 12, 2025 11:28:27 AM

I am fortunate to have married my best friend and lifelong love. Our story began when we were both teenagers. I had a mutual friend with her sister, and one Saturday afternoon, my friend asked if I wanted to make tomato sauce. Always eager for a new experience, I agreed. Sitting still is not my thing, so we headed over to my wife's parents' house. As we approached the door, the delicious smell of cooking tomatoes filled the air. If you’ve ever lived near an Italian family, you know exactly what I mean.

CLARITY IN COMMUNICATIONS AND THE PROBLEMS OF ASSUMPTIONS

Posted by Tom Devlin on Sep 11, 2024 9:39:36 AM

Assumptions play a lot in communications: If I try to say “Equality is good”, nobody really knows what I am talking about. For Equality, some people color this with “Equality of Outcome”, and some people color this with “Equality of Opportunity”: Race, gender, politics, justice, law, etc. are assumptions put into play just by invoking “Equality”. For “good”, some people will assume I am talking about the environment, some about personal well-being, those of my group, or just in general. Some may take good to mean “better than currently exists” or “the best possible”. Even the quality “good” is subjective: “Good” may mean to one person a lot of money, others the freedom to be their own boss, and still more just an adequate sleeping place and food. If I want anybody to understand whatever I meant by saying “Equality is good”, I have to reduce the assumptions dramatically so that everybody knows my thought or intent clearly. Without clarity, you can waste a lot of time, effort, and material going down the wrong path.

Keeping the Creep out of your BMS

Posted by Daniel F Luna, P. E. on Mar 5, 2024 10:57:11 AM

Schedules are at the very heart of most modern Building Management Systems (BMS). They tell when a particular tenant space or common space is to be “on” or “off”.   Clearly, tailoring the “on” time to match as closely as possible the actual occupancy is the way to shave off waste.

Dehumidification Optimizations Using Waste Heat Recovery

Posted by Daniel F Luna, P. E. on Oct 23, 2023 1:53:00 PM

Save on energy resources by utilizing a heat-recovery chiller or DX compressors

Running an air handler in “dehumidification” mode tends to be a resource hog. First, you are using a lot of chilled water to *squeeze* the ever-living-moisture out of the air, then you have to reheat it to make the air temperature comfortable. A double expenditure of energy: cooling and heating.
