Of Note
- "Simplified Method for Accurate Calculation of Evaporation from Swimming Pools", by Mirza M. Shah, PhD, PE, Fellow ASHRAE & ASME was published in the October 2011 issue of HPAC Engineering. The article provides look-up tables which give the results of calculations over a wide range of conditions, allowing the evaporation under design conditions for occupied and unoccupied pools to be read directly. These tables are based on Dr. Shah's formulas, which have been throughly verified with test data.
- van Zelm led the design team for the new $20 million cogeneration power plant at the 57-story One Penn Plaza in New York City. The city's largest commercial tower cogeneration plant provides half of the building's electricity and is set to reduce its carbon footprint by 40 percent. Producing 6.2 megawatts/hour, the project has been lauded as a trailblazer by the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority.
