Book Reviews of Electrical Design Guide for Commercial Buildings
Book Review: response from the author
Summary: 5 Stars
The previous reviewer comments on my saying fiber optic cable is difficult to splice. He takes my words out of context. I said what I did to emphasize that only skilled, experienced individuals should work with fiber optics. No one can deny that splicing copper cables is not as challenging as splicing optical networks, or that people without proper training and certification should not do so.
He also comments on my disparaging remarks about HVAC designers. I am licensed to seal mechanical and hvac projects as well as electrical. I have another book published with McGraw-Hill "Retrofitting for Energy Conservation" which is mostly mechanical. In proper context, I said that HVAC designers are lazy when specifying electrical components for HVAC systems. For example, they routinely spec variable frequency drives for all motors, globally. Assuming that VFD's are the most efficient options. Another important factor is the facility - a small, rural, or remote facility might be better served with a two speed motor, which is almost as efficient as a VFD. My comments on this were intended to motivate electrical designers to get more involved in the specification of mechanical systems, so that the most efficient system can be provided to the client.
I will clarify these points in the next edition, and I appreciate their being brought to my attention.
