The article offers information on technology, bolt/nut combinations, and other related factors for heating and ventilation piping and duct systems to ensure a building's safety highlighting modular mechanical seals. Modular mechanical seals can reportedly be used to permanently seal and protect pipes passing through concrete walls and other barriers. It notes that heating and ventilation engineers must review pipe and duct penetrations to identify which seal is the most suitable for a project.

The article offers information on the 2019 American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers' Winter Conference to be held at the Omni Hotel Atlanta at CNN Center and the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta, Georgia on January 12 to 16, 2018.

Provides tips on designing a heating and ventilating system in the U.S. Need of referring to the 2004 handbook of the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers; Control on the occupied mode of operation; Compliance of the engineers on the specifications of various contracts.

Advises engineers on how to design and commission a garage heating and ventilating system. Tips for automatic temperature control and functional performance testing; Strategies in addressing energy conservation capabilities in the design phase; Benefits of using energy simulation software.

The article presents the author's views on various issues and trends related to the heating and ventilation (HVAC) industry in the U.S. These issues include testing, adjusting, and balancing (TAB) companies' failure to recognize the importance of HVAC systems, the possibility that hospital acquired infection will continue to be a problem, and the increase in the number of women in the building industry. He also provides information on a website that offers cooking instructions for engineers.

The article suggests that a testing, adjusting and balancing (TAB) firm be contracted as a third-party professional for the establishment of a buildings environmental engineering system. The duties of the TAB engineer would include: a design review of possible air and water balancing issues and concerns; the writing of a TAB specification; the production of TAB system flow diagrams; and the signing of field coordination drawings during the construction phase.

Provides tips for designing heating and ventilation systems. Specification of equipment in construction documents; Coordination of structural data with structural engineers; Presentation of layout on one-line diagram.

Discusses the importance of having the necessary experience before engineers can write testing, adjusting, and balancing (TAB) specifications for buildings' heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems. Air and water balancing test by the United States National Environmental Balancing Bureau; Testing design engineers on TAB specifications.
