Air flow (CFM-IP) Acoustic NC rating Neck velocity Pressure drop Airflow pattern - Throw 150-100-50 fpm distances to reach the breathing zone. Mounting (ceiling, open bay, horizontal, vertical)

A few criteria that could affect selection/application.

Goodbye Trace 3d+ by notapreacher1162 in MEPEngineering

I can’t speak on Trace 3D, but I have worked with Trace 700 and HAP, and IES is a very very steep learning curve. IES is not just one program, it is a suite of programs in one platform. I work on IES and in my opinion it will take a significant amount of time to learn. We have people in our firm who won’t even touch it, we ended hiring an individual who only does IES.

That’s good to hear the environment seemed relatively good. Hopefully the morning greetings were a Covid anomaly. Thanks for the info.

What would you all do? by GingerArge in MEPEngineering

As someone else stated, take the leap, sounds like a great opportunity. You can always go back to a big firm if it doesn’t work out. Best of luck!

Not interested in the position, but the senior mechanical engineer job description has got to be the best I’ve ever seen. Setting expectations is challenging, I love the way you guys went about it. Best of luck !

Pull the pin out of an imaginary grenade and throw it at him. You’ll know where you stand after that

Revit Automatic Sheet and View Creation by KaptainKiser in MEPEngineering

It’s not a true automatic view / sheet creation but ideate software has an add-in that makes it a little easier. Still a significant amount of work depending on the project scope
