20 / Don’t Blame the Integrators
Picture this: It’s your birthday, you sit down at work and your favorite color of light comes on over your desk. Or a VIP walks into the building and everyone is notified via the lighting controls system. These are just a couple of outside-the-box ideas that Rob and Coffield have for smart building controls. Also in this episode, Ron puts up a defense for integrators. It’s not always their fault. Coffield began his career working in architecture firms with a strong focus on 3D visualization and custom detailing. Projects included larger commercial buildings, as well as the design and fabrication drawings for custom light fixture installations. Over the last 13 years he has had the opportunity to design lighting solutions for an expansive array of project types including a large number of LEED Silver, Gold, and Platinum projects. Coffield has a passion for sustainable design and a talent for making projects come to life through close integration with all members of the design team. Rob is an experienced Electrical Engineer, project manager and systems-design integrator within hospitality, higher education and healthcare disciplines. An accomplished lighting designer and engineering client leader, he positively impacts quality control at a complete MEP oversight capacity. Rob is a role model for younger engineers and provides mentorship throughout CannonDesign’s national engineering practice.
