Content Description

Join Lucy on an Engineering Adventure! “How do they work? Why don’t they fall? What lights them up? Do they need to be tall?” Lucy goes to work with her father to explore how buildings work. Help her find unique solutions to STEM problems and see if you’d like to be an engineer too!************************** This rhyming picture book introduces children to building and HVAC engineering through a young girl\'s visit to an unfinished building, where her father uses a metaphor of the human body to explain the building\'s beams and columns, electrical system, and HVAC ducts. Lucy\'s curiosity is encouraged by her father throughout. This is ASHRAE\'s first picture book and was developed by ASHRAE’s Student Activities Committee as part of their goal to promote and encourage engineering and HVAC&R careers. *********** Danielle Passaglia, EIT, LEED® Green Associate, Associate Member ASHRAE, is a Mechanical Engineer at Arup in Chicago, IL.

About ASHRAE

ASHRAE, founded in 1894, is a building technology society with more than 50,000 members worldwide. The Society and its members focus on building systems, energy efficiency, indoor air quality and sustainability within the industry. Through research, standards writing, publishing and continuing education, ASHRAE shapes tomorrow’s built environment today.

ASHRAE was formed as the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers by the merger in 1959 of American Society of Heating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHAE) founded in 1894 and The American Society of Refrigerating Engineers (ASRE) founded in 1904.
