INCORPORATING COLD CHAIN
ASHRAE short courses
at FRIGAIR
FRIGAIR 2018 is flying in three world-class ASHRAE
speakers. Register now and earn CPD points
O
rganisers are proud to announce
that industry can once again look
forward to three ASHRAE short
courses at the upcoming FRIGAIR Expo.
The three-hour-long short courses will
be taking place at the FRIGAIR exhibition
venue at the Gallagher Convention
Centre in Midrand on the Wednesday
and the Thursday of the show (6–7 June
2018). Bookings are essential; space will
be allocated on a first-come, first-served
basis.
The three courses will be as follows:
DESIGNING AND OPERATING HIGH-
PERFORMING HEALTHCARE HVAC SYSTEMS
(Wednesday, 6 June 2018, 09:00–12:00)
This advanced course discusses the design
and operation of HVAC systems for health
care facilities. The course details the
relationship of infection control and HVAC
design, including application of ASHRAE’s
HVAC Design Manual for Hospitals and
Clinics, Second Edition, and ANSI/ASHRAE/
ASHE Standard 170-2017 Ventilation of
Health Care Facilities. The course details
the key elements of high-performing
health care HVAC systems, including
infection control, comfort, reliability, safety,
maintenance, energy, and flexibility.
Daniel Koenigshofer
is the vice-president
for Health Care
at Dewberry
Engineers Inc. He
has over 35 years
of engineering and
project management
experience,
specialising in master planning,
troubleshooting, and solving engineering
problems in health care facilities.
Koenigshofer has presented numerous
training sessions on health care design,
both nationally and internationally, at
seminars sponsored by the NC Department
of Energy, NC Hospital Energy Association,
Corps of Engineers, ASHE, and ASHRAE.
In addition, he has taught classes for the
ASHRAE Learning Institute in over 25 major
cities worldwide, using entertaining stories
of “mistakes he has made” in engineering.
VRF SYSTEMS: DESIGN AND APPLICATION
(Wednesday, 6 June 2018, 13:00—16:00)
VRF systems are now becoming
increasingly utilised across the world.
This course provides non-manufacturer-
specific concepts of the unique
operational characteristics of VRF
systems and how to apply VRF systems
to a wide range of building types. The
course supplements the fundamental
VRF technology information in the 2016
ASHRAE Handbook—HVAC Systems and
Equipment by offering comprehensive VRF
system design and application guidance,
using building-specific scenarios.
This course is geared to mechanical
engineers, design-build contractors,
consulting engineers, HVAC system
designers, and facility engineers.
Dr Hesham Safwat
has many years
of experience in
the industry and in
applied engineering
science. His expertise
includes sustainability
practices and green
buildings, especially
with geothermal ground-source heat
pumps and energy as well as atmosphere
concerns for leadership in energy and
environmental design (LEED) for Middle
Eastern commercial projects. Prior to
joining the British University in Egypt in
2014 as lecturer in the Department of
Mechanical Engineering, Dr Hesham
served as both instructor and technical
manager for Miraco Carrier, where he was
responsible for chillers, air handing units,
fan coil selection, and pricing.
BASICS OF HIGH-PERFORMANCE
BUILDING DESIGN
(Thursday, 7 June 2018, 13:00–16:00)
This course focuses on the basic
application of relevant ASHRAE
resources, such as Standards 90.1, 55,
62.1, and 189.1, and the ASHRAE Green
Guide, to achieve high-performance
building design. The course explains the
differences in purpose and requirements
between these various standards, and
provides recommendations on the
selection of which requirements to
adopt into a building project, assuming
it is not under the jurisdiction of Standard
189.1 but the design team still wanted to
achieve a reasonable degree of ‘high-
performance building design’. Course
content should be suitable for architects
and engineers.
Dr Tom Lawrence
is a senior public
service associate
and coordinator
for the mechanical
engineering degree
programme at
the University of
Georgia, and he has
30+ years of professional engineering
experience. Before going back for
his PhD in mechanical engineering,
he spent approximately 20 of those
years in industry and consulting. As
an ASHRAE distinguished lecturer, he
gives presentations and workshops
on green building design around the
world. He received a PhD in mechanical
engineering from Purdue University, with
a research topic focused on demand
control ventilation.
