Session leaders profile modernization of the 1970’s-era animal facility at Michigan State University to incorporate individual room pressurization, occupancy-based air change rates, demand control ventilation, VAV exhaust systems, heat recovery, equipment upgrades, capacity increase, and expanded procedure space. They chart the up-front planning challenge of identifying total building needs including infrastructure, master planning, maintenance, and grant-specified design requirements prior to setting project budget..' Joe is a registered professional engineer with 14 years of engineering design experience.He is an integral member of PBA's Higher Education Market Sector. Joe received a Bachelor of Science degree in mechanical engineering from Oakland University. He is also an active member of the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE).  The presentation will take place October 17, 2016 from 1:10 pm to 2:05 pm and on October 18 from 1:45 pm to 2:40 pm.  For more information regarding Peter Basso Associates or its Higher Education group, go to our homepage at: [http://www.peterbassoassociates.com/](https://www.peterbassoassociates.com/) Previous Story [← Bob Roop Presents at MSBO Facilities / Operations Director Conference](https://blog.peterbassoassociates.com/newsfeed/pba-k-12-group-leader-bob-roop-cpd-leed-ap-to-present-at-18th-annual-msbo-facilities-/-operations-director-conference-expo) [** ](https://blog.peterbassoassociates.com/newsfeed) Next Story [PBA-designed Efficient HVAC System Plymouth-Canton Community Schools →](https://blog.peterbassoassociates.com/newsfeed/k-12-group-leader-bob-roop-cpd-leed-ap-discusses-pba-designed-cost-efficient-hvac-system-at-plymouth-canton-community-schools-in-current-issue-of-cam-magazine) ** ### Subscribe by Email [![pba_logo_ver](https://blog.peterbassoassociates.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Images%202020/pba_logo_ver.png?width=150&height=118&name=pba_logo_ver.png "pba_logo_ver")](https://www.peterbassoassociates.com) 5145 Livernois, Suite 100 Troy, MI 48098 Call us: [1-866-950-9760](tel:1-866-950-9760) [![CCF_CMYK](https://blog.peterbassoassociates.com/hs-fs/hubfs/CCF_CMYK.png?width=200&height=54&name=CCF_CMYK.png "CCF_CMYK")](https://www.peterbassoassociates.com/commissioning-retro-commissioning) ### Subscribe Copyright © 2025 Peter Basso Associates Inc. - - - - - - [![Glassdoor Icon](https://blog.peterbassoassociates.com/hs-fs/hubfs/images/PB_Wesite/glassdoor_icon.png?width=27&name=glassdoor_icon.png)](https://www.glassdoor.com/Overview/Working-at-Peter-Basso-Associates-EI_IE722202.11,33.htm) ```json { "@context" : "https://schema.org", "@type" : "BlogPosting", "author" : { "@type" : "Person", "name" : "Camille Thompson", "url" : "https://blog.peterbassoassociates.com/newsfeed/author/camille-thompson" }, "dateModified" : "2023-09-27T18:35:10.149Z", "datePublished" : "2016-10-14T21:14:16.000Z", "headline" : "Joseph R.
