Robin, thank you very much for having us. Very impressive students with super creative designs and especially thoughtful of them to listen to us engineers yap about mechanical room sizes, piping chases and cooling strategies. Can’t wait to do it again!
Thank you for the invitation to participate. It was great to spend time with your students - love their innovation and excitement toward their designs and craft. Looking forward to see how the buildings continue to develop!
Thank you, Robin for allowing us to join this awesome workshop. We were excited to share our experience as consulting mechanical engineers. We enjoyed the opportunity to share our thoughts on efficient HVAC system design for a Net zero building and provide insight on space planning for MEP systems. I was very impressed with these students and the buildings they presented! We look forward to coming back to help in the future!
It was a true pleasure to engage with such creative and passionate students. You really have a good group! Can't wait to see the final projects.
Worth attending
Thank you for a wonderful day and allowing us to share in the overall energy, enthusiasm and information sharing.
