I have started writing for the Engineers Notebook Column in the ASHRAE Journal and will post copies of those articles on this page as they are published
This column looks at how data logging has evolved over the 40 plus years of my career and discusses the crucial role data logging plays to this day in supporting the operation of our facilities.
This column looks at redundancy and discusses how you might need to think of it in broader terms than just having an extra prime mover. It includes a case study, which was essentially an on-the-fly ongoing Cx effort where considering the system, not just the prime mover led us to a solution to a problem that was costing us $20,000 - $30,000 a year in non-energy costs. The solution actually cost us a bit of energy, but it was a net win because it eliminated the other costs. And the other costs had implications in terms of embedded energy and other resources.
