| Architects and engineers have different design foci and methods, but most building projects demand that architects and engineers communicate and work together. This is necessary to: meet the clients’ requirements, comply with relevant standards, achieve design coherence and then a high performance and safe building. Collaboration involves the design disciplines working together, sharing knowledge, learning from each other, and, by that, designing a building informed by professional inputs and consensus. Collaboration also involves acknowledging that elements may change and design development is not only inevitable, but desirable. This course will explore the Engineering side of project design and implementation to help build a better looking project. Engineers will share past experiences and common coordination issues to help head off these issues earlier in the design process rather than during construction when they would be more costly to fix. Typical coordination issues can range from above ceiling items, like Mechanical and Plumbing, to room facing Electrical, Technology, and Fire Protection systems. This Lunch & Learn is being offered in-person and virtually. Registration details below.

| PRESENTED BY |
| Morgan Gunter, PE | Electrical Engineer at Optima Engineering and Evan Connell, PE | Mechanical Engineer at Optima Engineering |
 Morgan Gunter is an Electrical Engineer with experience in lighting, control systems, and power distribution using REVIT, AutoCAD, and BIM planning. He has an extensive understanding of various project types, such as new buildings, existing facilities, K-12, churches, high rise office buildings, and manufacturing facilities, while continuing to add to his wide range of design abilities. His troubleshooting expertise with knowledge of arc-flash analysis, field surveys, and communications make him a well-versed Electrical Engineer.

Evan Connell is a Mechanical & Plumbing Engineer in the Raleigh office with a Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering from NC State with more than ten years of experience. His experience lies in the design and development of air and water side CV and VAV systems, geothermal, critical environmental, sound sensitive spaces, VRF, dust collection, domestic supply and gravity waste/vent distribution, as well as a number of other systems. Energy analysis modeling, Revit, and AutoCAD document drafting on projects such as K-12, multi-family, commercial retail, and higher education build on his extensive knowledge for both new construction as well as renovation. His expertise in the design of VRF, ground-source, and high-efficiency HVAC equipment is always set with sustainable design in mind.REGISTRATION OPTIONS – ATTEND IN-PERSON OR ONLINE
