Invisible Comfort
“The best inventors are not bound by the limitations of their time”
– Rupe Goldberg
If you think you’ve fallen down a mechanical shaft, (imagine a scene from ‘Die Hard’) you have! And rightfully so, the infrastructure within a building is essential to its support of the users and user experience, contributing markedly to the innovation in building design, and certainly central to LEED and energy modeling. We work hand in hand, shaping the space and providing for the air circulation passageways needed by the selected smart-controlled heating/cooling systems.
The invisible systems that are the foundation of habitation for interior spaces is the exacting work of the mechanical engineer. Fresh air intakes, their location, even the orientation of the exacting side of the building (east, north, west) has much to offer in clean air designs. In spaces large and small, and spaces that serve our needs 24/7/365, PBS Engineers dominate the field in airport terminals across California. Joining us this week, Tariq Hassan, PE reveals the evolution of those systems as the world responds to population and heat increases on limited energy. DesignIDEATE, explores with Mr. Hassan, Associate Principal and Senior Mechanical Engineer, PBS Engineers, who shares the challenges of serving up new concepts and solutions toward achieving greater sustainability at LAX International airport and many others.
Working as a professional engineer since 1997, Tariq Hassan is responsible for the comfort of millions of travelers passing through Los Angeles International Airport. Fresh and conditioned air is his forte. Offering his leadership in the industry, he serves as Associate Principal and Senior Mechanical Engineer at PBS Engineers with offices across the Southern California. Tariq has over 27 years experience designing the largest airports in California including LAX. From terminal and lounge renovations to specific HVAC upgrades in active terminals, he is versed in project management, cost estimating and specification.
