General Notes:
1) The Contractor did not provide enough informations or calculations
for the Engineer's review
2) The Engineer requested many times for professional drawing plans
in order to review
3) Please submit the Dry Bulb temperature and Wet Bulb temperature

The Engineer already informed the Contractor before that plans should be submitted in professional way (Double

How the Engineer can review HVAC design without knowing the dimensions of each room ?
The Engineer cannot accept that the Contractor is not reflecting the Engineer's previous comments (i.e EG-
P36_Lot-2_ENG_00113_Tech_Renovation), please reflect the comments before sending any new correspondances
