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.

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 />

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 />

<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 />

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 />

Preparing and managing the contractor’s cash flow. What’s important for the contractor is not only predicting “how much”,<br />
but also the timing of the expenses as well as the incoming payments. This helps the contractor both calculate the maximum<br />
expected debt (credit line) as well as the time-cost of the money (cost of borrowing). This seminar takes a glance at<br />
these topics with some important tips.<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 />
