ASHRAE Laboratory Design Guide This publication was prepared under ASHRAE Research Project 969. It was sponsored by TC 9.10. About the Authors Ian B.D. McIntosh, Ph.D., is a recent Ph.D. graduate in mechanical engineering from the University of Wiscon- sin—Madison and is a member of ASHRAE and ASME. While working on his Ph.D. dissertation, he completed an eight-month research internship at Siemens Building Technologies—Landis Division, where he gave business and tech- nical presentations to aid in the marketing of potential product concepts related to fault detection and diagnosis in HVAC subsystems. Currently, he is with Farnsworth Group, Inc., and was the lead engineer in charge of research and devel- opment of this publication. Chad B. Dorgan, P.E., Ph.D., is a licensed professional engineer in Wisconsin, South Carolina, Oregon, and California, and is a recent Ph.D. graduate in indoor air quality from the University of Wisconsin—Madison. Between 1989 and 1993, he coordinated a 60-person operations and maintenance section for the United States Air Force. As an engineering technician, he was involved in the analysis and optimization of over 30 large commercial and industrial facilities, includ- ing a large enamel oven complex in Wisconsin and several auto manufacturer’s facilities in Michigan. As part of these studies, several publications for EPRI were developed, including EPRIs Cold Air Distribution Design Guide,
