IN A CITY HARD HIT BY THE PANDEMIC, FISHER BROTHERS<br />

COMPLETE INDOOR AIR QUALITY PROJECTS TO ENHANCE<br />

SAFETY IN THE FIRM’S ICONIC NEW YORK CITY BUILDINGS<br />

Real estate giant taps RGF® Environmental Group’s air treatment solutions to protect Fortune 100 tenants, employees,<br />

residents and visitors<br />

Port of Palm Beach, Fla -- RGF® Environmental Group, Inc., a<br />

leader in environmental design and manufacturing, is pleased<br />

to announce the completion of a significant indoor air quality<br />

(IAQ) enhancement project spanning five Class A buildings in<br />

New York City. Under the design and installation supervision<br />

of Clean Sciences Solutions, RGF’s proprietary products with<br />

PHI-CELL® technology has been deployed, protecting over 8<br />

million square feet of premier indoor office, commercial and<br />

residential space. Owned by Fisher Brothers, this leap forward<br />

in indoor air quality enhancement serves as an added layer<br />

of protection for tenants, employees, residents and visitors<br />

against the SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.<br />

“Fisher Brothers is committed to ‘Excellence in Offices’, and<br />

as a fourth-generation company, our history is tied to that of<br />

New York City. We want to contribute to the return of a vibrant<br />

Manhattan through the adoption and deployment of worldclass<br />

air treatment solutions for the hundreds of thousands of<br />

individuals who work and live in and visit our buildings,” notes<br />

Kenneth Fisher, Co-Managing Partner of Fisher Brothers. “We<br />

are committed to a safe work environment for our neighbors,<br />

friends and colleagues.”<br />

“As a national leader in the fight to overcome the global<br />

pandemic, RGF is working tirelessly in the deployment of our<br />

industry-leading, patented air purification products in office<br />

buildings across the United States,” notes Tony Julian, Vice<br />

President of Commercial Products, RGF Environmental Group,<br />

Inc. “This project provides improved indoor air quality for some<br />

of Manhattan’s most iconic buildings. We are pleased to partner<br />

with Clean Science Solutions and Fisher Brothers as leaders in<br />

their field.”<br />

Thomas Misisco, CEO of Clean Science Solutions, notes, “Fisher<br />

Brothers is leading the way to a higher standard in Indoor Air<br />

Quality for Manhattan office and residential buildings. With the<br />

installation of RGF’s air treatment solutions, Fisher Brothers<br />

demonstrates their commitment to tenant and resident safety.”<br />

The full-scale installation of RGF’s PHI-CELL® technology<br />

was performed following a pilot program overseen by multiple<br />

third-party independent laboratory consultants. The pilot<br />

project compared baseline air quality measurements against<br />

space with active PHI-CELL® technologies installed. As a part<br />

of the pilot, engineers introduced volatile organic compounds<br />

(VOCs) into the test space. The laboratory results confirmed<br />

that RGF’s equipment rapidly and effectively eliminated<br />

the VOCs. While the pilot project was active, the building<br />

engineers began preparation and planning for continued IAQ<br />

equipment installation. Upon review of the successful pilot<br />

project and confirmation of the findings, installation throughout<br />

five buildings commenced and was completed according to a<br />

fast-tracked schedule.<br />

SHAKE SHACK RESTAURANTS PARTNER WITH NATIONAL<br />

TAB TO SANITIZE THE AIR AND CONTACT SURFACES WITH<br />

RGF’S IN-DUCT AIR PURIFIERS<br />

RGF® Environmental Group’s Indoor Air Quality technology helps protect employees and customers against SARS-CoV-2<br />

the virus that causes COVID-19 and Norovirus<br />

Port of Palm Beach, Fla -- RGF® Environmental Group, Inc.,<br />

a leading environmental design and manufacturing company,<br />

announces the full installation of its active air treatment<br />

solution in 180 Shake Shack restaurants across the United<br />

States. National TAB, a leader in the test and balance and<br />

indoor air quality industries, installed RGF’s proprietary<br />

products with PHI-CELL® and REME® technology, proven<br />

to inactivate over 99% of the SARS-CoV-2 virus on surfaces<br />

and aerosolized form of the virus. The installation of RGF<br />

air purification products will also help mitigate risk around<br />

norovirus, a common health concern for restaurants.<br />

“Shake Shack has always prioritized the health and safety of<br />

our guests. Over the past year, we put heightened focus on the<br />

indoor air quality within each of our restaurants,” notes Andrew<br />

McCaughan, Chief Development Officer at Shake Shack.<br />

“RGF’s active air treatment solution, combined with increased<br />

ventilation and HVAC filtration, provided us an amazing<br />

solution to ensure we are providing a high quality and safe<br />

experience for our team and guests.”<br />

“RGF provides the only third-party tested commercial<br />

equipment proven to inactivate both surface and airborne virus<br />

particles,” notes Will Turnbough, VP of National Markets at<br />

National TAB. “RGF provides our customers with an active air<br />

treatment solution that is safe, cost-effective and easy to install<br />

and maintain.”<br />

“RGF and our HVAC contractors like National Tab are<br />

committed to helping restaurants provide the safest possible<br />

dining experiences for their customers. RGF has air purification<br />

technologies that clean the air and others that help assure<br />

that foods are safe and free of harmful bacteria and viruses.<br />

12 CONSTRUCTIONMONTHLY.COM<br />

These technologies are used in thousands of restaurants<br />

across the US and have a proven track record of safety and<br />

effectiveness” notes Dr. James Marsden, Executive Director<br />

Science & Technology, RGF® Environmental Group, Inc. “We<br />

are pleased to partner with National Tab on the installation<br />

of our equipment in over 180 Shake Shack restaurants along<br />

with other high profile, national chain customers looking at<br />

improving restaurant safety”.<br />

Industry Leading Testing Protocol<br />

The third-party testing was performed at the Innovative<br />

Bioanalysis Laboratories in Cypress, California. RGF’s test<br />

procedure used the SARS-CoV-2 virus inside a large chamber<br />

(1,280 cu. ft.) representing a real-world conditioned commercial<br />

space. The virus was nebulized into the space simulating a<br />

sneeze or cough from an infected person.<br />

Results from the test include:<br />

• RGF’s PHI-CELL® technology inactivated greater than<br />

99.9% of SARS-CoV-2 on surfaces and inactivated 99.5%<br />

of the aerosolized form of SARS-CoV-2.<br />

• RGF’s REME HALO technology inactivated greater than<br />

99.9% of SARS-CoV-2 on surfaces and inactivated 99.8%<br />

of the aerosolized form of SARS-CoV-2.<br />

• By actively treating air inside the occupied space, the<br />

PHI-CELL® eliminated the need for virus particles to travel<br />

through the HVAC system filters or UV air purification<br />

system.

Material And Pricing Clarity: 3 Steps Every Homebuilder And Remodeler<br />

Owner Can Implement To Restore Business F.I.T.ness In A World Of Chaos<br />

Tuesday, May 10 | 11:15 a.m. - 12:15 p.m. | Keynote Area<br />

Windows that used to take 7 days in 2020 now take 7 months…maybe. Plywood that costs $11 now demands over $70!<br />

Volatility is the new certainty, and contractors must create the discipline to develop a different level of fitness in their<br />

business in order to navigate these new waters, with a more robust ship.<br />

This life-changing and engaging 45 minute talk won’t waste your time in empty market predictions, but instead will provide you the tools to<br />

build a better business that allows you to navigate a new business reality.<br />

You will be equipped to beat chaos with predictability, and to build a business that weathers volatile changes, and makes time for what matters<br />

most.<br />

Target Audience: Homebuilders, Remodelers, Contractors<br />

Recruiting And Hiring: The 4 Systems Every Homebuilder And Remodeler Owner Needs To<br />

<strong>Build</strong> The Right People That <strong>Build</strong>s The Right Business<br />

Wednesday, May 11 | 11:15 a.m. - 12:15 p.m. | Keynote Area<br />

People, people, people! How do we find the right people to hire? How do we find ANY people to hire?<br />

The Boomers retired early, and the emerging generations are much more selective in the work they choose. How can you find the right people,<br />

recruit them the right way, share the right vision, and then onboard them the right way that aligns with the right mission?<br />

This life-changing and engaging 45 minute talk pulls from our work with hundreds of contractor owners that led to our proprietary and proven<br />

roadmap.<br />

This roadmap will equip you to beat chaos with predictability, and to build the team that will build the business to make time for what matters<br />

most.<br />

Target Audience: Homebuilders, Remodelers, Contractors<br />

Selling Thru a Tough Economy<br />

Tuesday, May 10 | 1:15 p.m. - 2:15 p.m. | Keynote Area<br />

We’re seeing volatile pricing formats, supply chain interruption and rising interest rates. This usually ends in tough<br />

economic conditions, resulting in construction industry challenges. Knowing the best way to stay ahead of these changes<br />

and keep your business moving forward is difficult. We’ll look at the methods successful contractors use to weather<br />

shifting economic conditions. We’ll cover:<br />

Sponsored by 1. Increasing your portion of the market pie<br />

2. Getting a competitive advantage<br />

3. Managing customer expectations<br />

4. Structuring your sales effort<br />

5. How to balance sales and marketing efforts<br />

You’ll come away from this session with a better understanding of what it will take to grow in both revenue and<br />

profitability in these times. Sales is the most important aspect of your business. Everything else simply follows that lead.<br />

Networking & Association Use<br />

Wednesday, May 11 | 1:15 p.m. - 2:15 p.m. | Keynote Area<br />

Many contractors never join relevant associations that can produce revenue for them. Even worse they spend the dues money and don’t<br />

maximize the effectiveness of the association. We will layout how to determine what associations to join, how to work them and get business<br />

from your involvement. The single greatest way to find grouped customers and network contacts is right in your backyard association!<br />

Work them to the fullest and you’ll never make a cold call again!<br />

Common <strong>Construction</strong> Sales Mistakes<br />

9:30 a.m.-11:00 a.m. | Room 405<br />

Tom Woodcock<br />

President | Seal the Deal<br />

Many in the construction industry consistently make the same mistakes that kill their opportunity. There are many common<br />

errors and mentalities that hinder sales success. We’ll put a light on these problems and give the behaviors that counter<br />

them. Make sure your approach to the customer base is the most effective possible. These errors are often made without<br />

the contractor even realizing they’re making them. This cripples their chances of winning profitable projects.<br />

Licensed Professional Engineers<br />

Competent and Ethical<br />

Hiring a licensed professional electrical<br />

engineer is vital. “Only a licensed engineer<br />

can sign, seal, and submit plans and<br />

drawings, oversee work in the private<br />

sector, [and/or] serve as a fully qualified<br />

expert witness…. Many government<br />

agencies and academic institutions<br />

emphasize the importance of a PE license”<br />

(Institute of Electronic and Electrical<br />

Engineers).<br />

ELECTRICAL DESIGN – AESTHETICS & SAFETY<br />

By John Whitcraft, PE, CLD, LEED AP BD+C,<br />

President of Whitcraft Engineering Solutions, Inc.<br />

Tampa is known for its outdoor activities:<br />

a thriving commercial economy with<br />

multiple golf courses, tourist attractions,<br />

theme parks, and plenty of dining under<br />

the stars.<br />

I’ve worked on several outdoor<br />

projects–from swimming pools to roller<br />

coasters–and safety is paramount without<br />

compromising aesthetics. I recently<br />

designed the electrical power upgrades<br />

for the cellular host distributed antenna<br />

system for SeaWorld in San Diego – a<br />

theme park known for its amazing<br />

naturescape and scream-worthy rides. The<br />

improved cellular service in a large park<br />

with hidden antennas, which all carriers<br />

can use, improves family communication.<br />

A parent can now FaceTime® a motion<br />

picture of a son or daughter and<br />

immediately share it with a grandparent.<br />

My job may not have involved a design<br />

feature, but I’m satisfied knowing the<br />

park has the necessary cellular antennas<br />

and illumination for a better and safer<br />

experience.<br />

Outdoor Play – Theme Parks Make It<br />

Happen<br />

Busch Gardens in Tampa is a famous<br />

tourist attraction for amusement park<br />

rides and a zoo. Andy De La Parte,<br />

President, A & A Electric Services Inc.<br />

of Tampa, FL, emphasizes that electrical<br />

engineering design for safety was the<br />

primary concern. His design work includes<br />

the Gwazi and Kumba roller coasters,<br />

the Rhino Rally, and R.L. Stine’s Haunted<br />

Lighthouse. De La Parte said, “You can<br />

see the intent on the blueprints, but<br />

you don’t know the outcome until it is<br />

finished. It’s not only interesting; it’s fun.<br />

It’s not normal construction” (Electrical<br />

Contractor Blog).<br />

I too take great pride in performing<br />

electrical engineering design work for<br />

theme parks. In addition to the antenna<br />

work I performed at SeaWorld, I have<br />

also worked for LEGOLAND, California.<br />

I measured existing loads to determine<br />

if additional power was unutilized,<br />

which allowed for safely adding circuits<br />

and prevented overloading the existing<br />

electrical service. As a result, my electrical<br />

design allowed LEGOLAND and SeaWorld<br />

to add cellular-based telephone power<br />

equipment to the park without requiring<br />

new power circuits.<br />

Mark Rose, Vice President of Design and<br />

Engineering at Busch Gardens in Tampa,<br />

points to the substantial efforts that<br />

are employed to ensure safety at large<br />

amusement parks. According to Rose, “At<br />

Busch Gardens, every ride is inspected<br />

every day. Fifty-five mechanics and nine<br />

electricians inspect rides to make sure<br />

they’re safe. Some of our rides will get you<br />

a little dizzy, but they should not harm you<br />

in any way. In addition, Busch Gardens<br />

hires third-party inspectors who are<br />

Professional Engineers” (Hidden Dangers<br />

Article).<br />

Rose believes that the industry gets bad<br />

press from traveling shows, pointing<br />

A Professional Engineering license is<br />

granted by a state authority. In Florida the<br />

agency is Florida Board of Professional<br />

Engineers. A state agency requires its<br />

applicants to hold an ABET accredited<br />

engineering degree, pass an examination<br />

administered by the National Council of<br />

Examiners for Engineering and Surveying,<br />

demonstrate a few years of experience in<br />

the engineering field, provide five written<br />

references that reflect an applicant’s<br />

engineering experience, and throughout<br />

his/her career must remain current on<br />

the latest trends in the industry. It is<br />

imperative that PEs adhere to the code of<br />

ethics established by the National Society<br />

of Professional Engineers.<br />

NSPE President, Rick Guerra, P.E., states<br />

the reasons for professional licensure:<br />

“Each of us has our own unique and personal<br />

PE story. We all share a commitment<br />

to a high standard of competence,<br />

professionalism, and ethical behavior that<br />

sets us apart…. As PEs, we place service<br />

before profit, the honor and standing of<br />

our profession above personal advantage,<br />

and the public welfare above all other<br />

considerations. In today’s world, that makes<br />

us extraordinary.” (Blog Post).<br />

Extraordinary professionalism and<br />

quality of workmanship are paramount<br />

today as fires, floods, and other natural<br />

disasters increase every year. In addition,<br />

Florida residents are still reeling from<br />

the 12-story condominium’s collapse<br />

that occurred in June 2021, allegedly<br />

caused by faulty design and construction.<br />

The safety of people and buildings is<br />

more important than ever. Professional<br />

Engineers are using social media to carry<br />

their message: #ProudPE.<br />

For information on the Florida<br />

condominium collapse and emergency<br />

exit lighting recommendations, please<br />

read an article I wrote for <strong>Construction</strong><br />

<strong>Monthly</strong>: “Constructive Lessons from<br />

Florida to Texas – Professional Engineers<br />

Improving Safety.”<br />

40 CONSTRUCTIONMONTHLY.COM


to issues that can arise with carnival rides that have to be<br />

repeatedly erected and dismantled. Florida requires the<br />

inspection of all temporary amusement rides each time they’re<br />

erected at a new location, but not all states do.<br />

According to the National Society of Professional Engineers,<br />

“Florida requires a professional engineer or qualified inspector<br />

to annually inspect permanent rides, but exempts large parks<br />

with over 1,000 employees with their own full-time inspectors”<br />

(NSPE).<br />

Professional engineers stress safety. We have “made the<br />

commitment to protect the public’s health, safety, and welfare,”<br />

which is one of the fundamental canons of licensure. The<br />

National Society of Professional Engineers (NSPE) believes the<br />

public should be confident that engineering decisions affecting<br />

their lives are made by qualified and ethically accountable<br />

professionals.<br />

People may prefer swimming to riding roller coasters and<br />

sightseeing at a theme park. Again, safety must be paramount.<br />

Swimming Pools<br />

While most people view a swimming pool as a fun way to<br />

exercise, relax, and cool off, electrical engineers look at this<br />

recreational amenity from a safety first/aesthetics second point<br />

of view.<br />

Tampa has the third highest number of pools out of all cities in<br />

the U.S., after Phoenix and Miami (Aqua <strong>Magazine</strong>).<br />

When I was the electrical engineer of record for a swimming<br />

pool project at Grant Union High School in Sacramento, CA,<br />

safety and function were key considerations. My role was<br />

threefold:<br />

• Generated sketches to address the contractor’s Requests<br />

For Information regarding underwater lighting and stadium<br />

lights;<br />

• Designed a new lighting panel to control the underwater<br />

pool lights; and<br />

• Designed a control panel in the coach’s office to allow<br />

manual control of stadium lights.<br />

My underwater lighting design considered underground<br />

wiring, electrical outlets, lighting, water pumps, heating, and<br />

other factors that only a professional engineer or electrician<br />

consider as special equipment. In addition to following the<br />

NEC requirements that are highlighted below, Timothy<br />

Thiele, a licensed electrician for 30+ years, outlines several<br />

recommendations.<br />

Highlights: Pools and spas come in every shape and size, and<br />

most require some electrical equipment to maintain water<br />

quality, power lights, run pumps, and more. Electric power<br />

and lighting around Swimming Pools is addressed in a Special<br />

Equipment article in the National Electric Code: Article 680. Of<br />

course, electrical installations must be done according to the<br />

electrical code in your area, and must be installed by a licensed<br />

electrician. The following are just a few of the most common<br />

code requirements from the NEC. Local rules may vary;<br />

however, most states adopt the NEC as their own with slight<br />

modifications.<br />

Underground Wiring<br />

Underground wiring is not allowed under a pool or spa unless<br />

necessary for the operation of the pool equipment (680.11).<br />

Electrical Outlet Receptacles<br />

The rules for electrical outlets exist to prevent the possibility of<br />

shock:<br />

Receptacles for pumps and motors must be located not less<br />

than 6 feet from the pool walls, and they must be ground fault<br />

circuit interrupter (GFCI) protected and locked (680.22A). It<br />

is an inexpensive electrical device that can be either installed<br />

in the electrical system or built into a power cord to protect<br />

people from electrical shocks. GFCIs have played a key role in<br />

saving lives.<br />

In residential pools, at least one GFCI outlet is required<br />

between 6 and 20 feet from the pool wall, eliminating the use<br />

of extension cords for ordinary appliances.<br />

Outlet receptacles for general use can be no closer than 20<br />

feet from a pool or in-ground spa if not GFCI-protected, and no<br />

closer than 6 feet away if they are GFCI protected.<br />

Maintenance Disconnect<br />

A maintenance disconnect is required for shutting off power to<br />

a pool or spa pumps, filters, and other utilization equipment.<br />

The disconnect must be installed within sight of the pool or<br />

spa but no closer than 5 feet from the pool or spa (680.41).<br />

Therefore, the power controls must not be touched by an<br />

individual standing in the pool or spa. Public spas must have an<br />

emergency disconnect that is visible and at least 5 feet from<br />

the spa.<br />

Special Regulations for Self-Contained Spas and Hot Tubs<br />

Spas and hot tubs that are stand-alone units rather than<br />

integrated with a swimming pool require the following:<br />

• Outlet receptacles must not be closer than 6 feet from a<br />

hot tub or spa and must be GFCI-protected if less than 10<br />

feet away.<br />

• Lights or ceiling fans must be not less than 12 feet above<br />

the spa or hot tub if there is no GFCI protection, or not less<br />

than 7.5 feet above if there is GFCI protection.<br />

• Wall switches must be at least 5 feet from the water.<br />

• Outlet or direct-wired circuit that powers the motor or<br />

heater in a self-contained spa or hot tub must be GFCI<br />

protected.<br />

Outdoor recreation is a necessity in most people’s lives. I am<br />

honored to play an integral role<br />

in creating a safe environment.<br />

Hearing the joyful noise and<br />

laughter from a pool or theme<br />

park ride gives me pride in the<br />

work that I have accomplished<br />

with a safe electrical design.<br />
