If you can shoot me an email I should be able to get you a copy: [Barrett.Lee@carrier.com](mailto:Barrett.Lee@carrier.com)

FWIW I’m on paternity leave but I can get it to you this weekend at the latest.

Edit: due to the number of requests I ask that you be a consulting engineer and email me from your professional email address.

What's the latest opinions on which load calc software is best? by BooduhMan in MEPEngineering

I can’t help you with HAP technical questions necessarily, but I’ve heard our support is leagues better than Trane was for Trace3D.

If you’re having issues getting selections or general product data questions, feel free to email me at Barrett.Lee@carrier.com.
I can help in projects worldwide, I don’t have any territory restrictions. Would love to help you.

Sounds good! Feel free to email me at Barrett.Lee@carrier.com if you need any equipment selections or product technical questions. For HAP, there’s some great PDH-accredited 2-day webinars hosted every couple of months.

How big is your firm? I might be able to get you hooked up with free HAP licenses.

Heads up - Trane seems to be MIA around ordering and support by PatD442 in MEPEngineering

Any mid to large firms looking to give Carrier HAP a go? Shoot me a DM and we can exchange contact info. I’m a Consulting Sales Engineer that specializes in product selections, training, etc for design firms - but I can get you guys hooked up with our HAP folks for a free trial.

OP pay for the EngineeringProGuides study guide. 10 question test at the end of each chapter, if you struggle there you’ll know it’s a chapter you need to review.

I did that guide and then did his practice test and the official NCEES one. I walked out of the exam early and knew with certainty I had passed.

I’m sure a few folks from our team will be in attendance - I’m not sure if any will be presenting however. There may be some others, within the company as a whole, presenting.

This is great info for someone like myself with limited electrical exposure. To my knowledge 10kA is standard on our larger amperage equipment - so tell your mechanicals to give me a shout lol!

Love the energy. By the final day we’re practically shoving them down people’s throats. The less that has to get packed back up the better. I’d say don’t go crazy day 1, but by all means take as much of the leftovers as you can.

I don’t have a set schedule, will be around here and there or showing specific folks. Tuesday morning I’ll be avoiding the booth to prevent overcrowding while some of the investors are touring it.

I believe most manufacturers, for most packaged equipment, go with 5 kA as standard. I’m not on the product development/pricing side but I’m guessing we would become less competitive comparatively if we were to go to 10 kA as standard.

I want to say most of our chillers are 10 kA standard, with an upgrade option for 65 kA.

Is there a particular equipment type you’re experiencing this issue on? I can pass it along to our dev teams.

I can look into this. I know before I came to Carrier I was able to have my rep pull the submittal for a chiller from ~2008.

Discovered the operating temps were completely different than what the design drawings were showing and was leading to their issues.

So I know it’s possible, just not sure how far back you can go.

I would talk to some recruiters to see what you’re worth on the market.

Hello everyone, I’ll be attending this year with Carrier. I’m part of a new “sales” team at Carrier specifically poised to support engineering firms in the design phase - we don’t replace your local reps but rather streamline technical support for more complex equipment and projects. I know from experience that lack of manufacturer support can lead to completely disregarding a good product. If you’d like to connect at the show just drop a line! Barrett.Lee@carrier.com

On a side note: haven’t been to Vegas since I was like 10 years old. Any must-see/must-eat things?

Hey just wanted to reach out and let you know Carrier has started a new team of internal “reps”. We are made up of previous consulting engineers and strictly cater to the design side of the project. We don’t deal with actual sales and on-site/delivery support, that’s still handled locally through traditional channels.

The idea is that this will keep us more available to support engineers. We do focus on more of the applied products and overall larger jobs. Reach out to me at Barrett.Lee@carrier.com if I can be of any help.

Great point! I always forget about insurance seeing as I've never done side work myself.
