It is so simple that the first patent took over 4 years to get approved! The Patent Examiner kept saying “this is too simple, I know someone must have done it before you!” It is called the “High Efficiency Dehumidification System” (HEDS for short). Judges don’t like it hot! It was not the highlight of my career.Ĭan you tell us about the cutting edge technological breakthroughs that you are working on? How do you think that will help people?Īt the request of the Department of Defense, we developed a very simple, reliable, efficient, low maintenance, energy recovery HVAC system that can control relative humidity and help electrify and decarbonize the HVAC process and provide highly purified air to the facility occupants. I accidentally shut down the cooling system, and the temperature in the building skyrocketed. Maybe not most interesting, but definitely the most exciting! When I was 17 or 18, I was in the field helping check out a Superior Courts HVAC system in the middle of summer during a heat wave.
FAITH TECHNOLOGIES HOW TO
I spent a career learning how to solve people’s HVAC problems, and that was a blast!Ĭan you share the most interesting story that happened to you since you began your career? If you go to any commercial building, most complaints about the building are based on poor air conditioning system operation.
One thing about air conditioning is that there are an unlimited number of problems that need to be solved, and I love solving problems! So, it seems like I was predestined to go down this path. When I was 15, I was actually on the Honeywell payroll getting a paycheck as a field technician assistant and when I was 18, I went full-time as a Honeywell engineer in the controls division. They told me it was a choice between me and a trained monkey, but I was much more cost-effective because I did not need diaper changes as often as the monkey did so that made me less expensive! I was getting paid $0.50 per hour (cash!) and they later told me I was overpaid! Honeywell brought me in to sit at the operator’s consul and listen to the radio and do what I was told - essentially punching buttons and telling them what I saw. They were very slow and very primitive and they needed to have operators at the main control panel and also out in the field when they were checking out the equipment. So, I got started down this career path when I was 12 years old! My dad was a long time Honeywell engineer and in 1972 computers were just starting to make it into the heating ventilating and air conditioning, HVAC, world. Thank you so much for doing this with us! Can you tell us a story about what brought you to this specific career path? His technologies and designs have won multiple awards from ASHRAE, the DoD, the DoE, the California Energy Commission, General Services Administration (GSA), USAF AFWERX and others. HEDS was the only HVAC equipment to make it through the USAF AFWERX “Base of the Future” technology challenge.
FAITH TECHNOLOGIES PLUS
Three times Environmental Security Technology Certification Program (ESTCP) award winner, plus winner of the DoE “Call for Innovation” and “High Impact Technology” global competitions. He invented the Load Based Optimization System (LOBOS) & High Efficiency Dehumidification System (HEDS). Scot has been an HVAC Subject Matter Expert (SME) for the DoD since the 1990’s. At 27 he started a consulting engineering firm specializing in high efficiency HVAC systems and chiller plant designs.
FAITH TECHNOLOGIES FULL
At 18, he was a full time Honeywell engineer. At 15, he was on the Honeywell payroll as a part time control system field technician assistant. Scot started working in this profession as a “trained monkey” at the age of 12, working with technicians on the Honeywell Delta 2000, making $0.50/hour (Cash!!!). Scot is the Founder and President of Conservant Systems Inc, and the inventor of the Department of Defense (DoD), Department of Energy (DoE) and California Energy Commission-award-winning High Efficiency Dehumidification System (HEDS).
FAITH TECHNOLOGIES SERIES
As a part of our series about cutting edge technological breakthroughs, I had the pleasure of interviewing Scot Duncan.
