Patrick Pollard, Building & Grounds Supervisor – NPS Death Valley National Park Scotty’s Castle


When the design team came in, our management team at DEVA had changed scope from the design team’s expectations. They had initially planned 17 compressor units in various locations, and the morning we started the VA/CBA process, our DEVA team asked if we would be able to plan based on a chiller / campus-wide HVAC scenario. I watched the excitement start, and the wheels turn, and we were off to the races! Two days later, we had the system designed, at least conceptually. It was a great experience!
