1 AFFILIATED CONSULTANTS, ENGINEERS 15 Hi View Drive Black Muntain, NC P: F: Funded 1974 A cnsulting engineering firm serving Asheville and the Carlinas prviding excellence in design thrugh field experience. WHAT WE DO Affiliated Cnsultants, Engineers was funded by Philip J Bisesi, PE in 1974 t d energy efficient design and cmmissining using Life Cycle Cst Analysis. Our funder is a LEED Accredited Prfessinal specializing in integrated PME engineering, energy mdeling and O&M engineering training. Our prcess is rted in time-tested experience that lks beynd data gathered by cmputer mdels alne. Our designs are sustainable, energy efficient, minimize first cst, perating csts and maintenance csts. We strive t enhance ccupant cmfrt, wellbeing, and prductivity. FIELDS OF PRACTICE & SCOPE OF WORK Heating Ventilatin and Air Cnditining Indr Air Quality Facilities and Architectural Engineering Service and Perfrmance Analysis Energy Cnservatin Studies: Feasibility, Operating, and Ecnmic Frensics Engineering & Trubleshting Plumbing Mechanical and Electrical Design Lighting Design Integrated Design Human Cmfrt Cmmissining View a list f representative prjects CLIENTS SERVED Industries, Institutins, Gvernment, Building Owners, Cnsulting Engineers, Architects, Interir Designers, Cntractrs, Develpers, Envirnmental Advcates CERTIFICATIONS: PE-NC #005220, US Green Building Cuncil- LEED AP, Assciatin f Energy Engineers(aee) Certified Energy Manager & aee CTAB SERVICES: HVAC, Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing, Energy, Industrial Hygiene & Ventilatin, Indr Air Quality, Nise & Vibratin, Integrated Design, Physical Plant Studies, Perfrmance Test and Balance, Cmmissining, Systems Operatin and Training, Frensic Engineering

2 OUR BRAND MISSION STATEMENT Clients receive cmplete facilities engineering frm feasibility studies thrugh integrated design, with exact calculatins, ptimize safety factrs, TAB and cmmissining. This cmprehensive apprach prduces lwer cst cnstructin, a mre cmfrtable envirnment, n-time start-up and lwer perating csts. Our basic philsphy is t design, retrfit and test systems that we and the Owner can perate and maintain. We base renvatin wrk upn understanding the riginal design and imprving upn it and nt applying new hardware withut first ptimizing the existing systems. We strive fr maintainability, sustainability, and cnservatin f resurces and energy. GENERAL PRINCIPLES & PHILOSOPHY Fllwing the NSPE Cde f Ethics fr Engineers; the public safety, health and welfare are paramunt. Everything that we d is a prfessinal service, nt a cmmdity. Prfessinal Engineers are persnally respnsible fr and seal all wrk. Duty t clients requires us t stay abreast f develpments in thery and applicatin thrugh cntinuing educatin and prfessinal develpment. Knwledge and expertise is ur stck in trade. Our engineers prvide innvative and unique slutins t each prject. They design, renvate and test systems that we and the wner can perate. Achieving maintainability, sustainability and cnservatin f resurces and energy is ur purpse. When renvating, we study the riginal design and imprve upn it and d nt apply new hardware withut first ptimizing existing systems. Our engineers d nt make quick decisins based upn what they are tld, nr blindly fllw directins t cnclusins. They first study and understanding the prject then calculate, test and fllw thrugh frm basic principles t ptimized slutins. FOUNDATION Philip J. Bisesi, PE, BSME has wrked fr Gvernment, Industry, and A/E firms as a senir ME/EE. Affiliated Cnsultants Engineers was funded in 1974 t d PME design and physical plant imprvements based upn energy cnservatin studies. We cncluded that retr cmmissining, including test, adjust and balance is the number ne energy cnservatin measure. Clients receive cmplete facilities engineering frm feasibility studies thrugh integrated design, with exact calculatins, reduced safety hazards, TAB and cmmissining. This cmprehensive apprach prduces lwer cst cnstructin, a mre cmfrtable envirnment, n-time start-up and lwer perating csts.

3 OUR BRAND Why we chse it and what it means t us. AFFILIATED-Adj.-being in clse frmal r infrmal assciatin We acknwledge ur client, ur principals, ur staff and cnsultants as prfessinals. We respect the unique capabilities and cntributins f each individual. This results in value based client service. CONSULTANTS-Nun-ne wh gives expert r prfessinal advice We listen t the clients t understand and evaluate the needs, desires and anticipated results. We then prescribe a prgram t achieve ptimal perfrmance and results. ENGINEERS-Nun-a persn trained and skilled in the design, cnstructin, and use f engines r machines, r in any f varius branches f engineering Our thught prcesses utilize technical knwledge in cllabratin with the scientific methd in an effrt t analyze as well as synthesize results.

4 SERVICES Integrated engineering is a synergy f all f ur knwledge and skills. By studying, designing, testing, and cmmissining systems, we keep urselves, clients and systems peratrs prficient. Educatin and training f the HVAC cmmunity is an integral part f what we d. Engineering Educatin & Training Cmmissining & TAB View a list f representative jbs.

5 ENGINEERING SERVICES Recgnizing peple in their natural and built envirnment Engineering is based upn a cmprehensive understanding f natural resurces, materials, energy, water, human resurces, and ecnmics applied t the service f man. Scientific knwledge is applied t integrated prjects with all disciplines interacting t achieve the ptimum results. Human cmfrt is emphasized based upn indr air quality, rm temperature, radiant temperature, relative humidity, and illuminatin.

6 Cmmissining Cmmissining is the engineering service and administrative act f recrding and dcumenting the cnstructin prcess and building systems peratin frm design thrugh peratin and maintenance. Cmmissining shuld be applied t bth new and ld buildings. A P.E. Cmmissining administratr (team f Architects and Engineers) wrking fr the wner assures the design Architect/Engineer that the design intent was met and trains the system peratr in perfrmance analysis thus assuring the wner that the building will be cmfrtable. Majr cmmissining activities are Design Review By P.E. Value Engineering Sustainability Review Serviceability and Build-ability review Witness & Review Quality Cntrl inspectins Participate in A/E cnstructin bservatins Functinality Test Start-Up Test Adjust and Balance Infrared Phtmetry Operating Test Operatr Training and O&M Manual Maintenance Evaluatin Cntinuus Cmmissining As-Built Drawings Crdinate with wners cnstructin quality cntrl Building Systems t be Cmmissined are: Envelpe Utilities Electrical HVAC Cntrls & Building Management System Illuminatin Fire Prtectin Plumbing Indr Air Quality & Thermal Cmfrt Security & Clck systems Elevatrs

7 TAB TAB is a systematic prcess applied t HVAC systems t achieve and dcument system perfrmance and flw rates fr air and water. A Prfessinal Engineer analyzes the system and supervises TAB wrk t assure the cnsulting engineer that his design intent has been met. TAB Includes Verify Prper Start-Up Test Equipment Perfrmance Measure and Adjust Operatin Electrical Input Fuel Input Energy Output Air & Water Flw Temperature Nise & Vibratin
