About the Author :
A mature entrant, Keith Shepherd started work in the building services industry with a specialist subcontractor. He followed the familiar path trodden by many prospective HVAC engineers by enrolling at the then Institute of Environmental Engineering (IoEE) at London's South Bank Polytechnic on a part-time certificate course in environmental engineering, subsequently joining the IoEE's BEng course in environmental engineering from which he graduated with first class honours. During that period he joined a major mechanical and electrical services contractor Crown House Engineering. He undertook research into variable air volume systems first at South Bank Polytechnic and the IoEE, and subsequently in the Department of Building Engineering at the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology (UMIST), where he was awarded a Master of Science degree by research into variable air volume system design and engineering Keith Shepherd left the academic world to return to industry, and is presently Technical Director of Archer Associates, a building services design consultancy based in south-east England. Although specialising in HVAC engineering, his experience of the building services industry encompasses design, project management, estimating and quantity surveying functions, in addition to research and lecturing. He is author of several papers on the subject of variable air volume systems.
