I've been in the HVAC industry for a while by now, working in office support, and have gained some experience with multifamily projects. Binge-watching your content, I can't help but think how valuable this would have been when I was starting out. Now that I'm aiming for a project manager role, I'm learning so much from your videos. Can't believe this is free—thank you!

I'm an Architectural intern working at a firm. Despite this not being what I studied in school it's still VERY useful for me to become a better well-rounded architect in the future; this stuff helps me understand consultant drawings at my office. Thank you!!!!

I own a HVAC company with my husband and looking for a way to help out more when it comes to bid. This helped a lot. Thanks!

Really great content

Your videos are awesome. Thank you for your time and effort sir.

If you could make a video on what types of subcontractors cover what scopes of work that’d be sick, or if you could do a video going over PEMBs at a high level that’d also be awesome. Either way, great videos!!!

Thank you for this. Essential information to understanding HVAC interactions with energy efficient technologies incorporated into the Built Environment.

Every single video you post is very important to and I really appreciate you 🙏🏾😌

Is there any videos you can make and/or recommend for trying to improve my bidding on insulation. I'm an insulation subcontractor that's new to the business, having a very hard time bidding.

Nice shout out to The Engineering Mindset, they really do some great breakdowns on the systems.

[Walkingrelaxing]

Can you do a video on understanding where the devices are placed on the ahu from reading the print?

[andrewshaw]
