Norman Nelson has over 40 years of engineering experience, with over 30 years focused on solving building-related IAQ and moisture and mildew problems. He has been responsible for technical issues regarding IAQ services related to building design, remediation, construction, and operation for a variety of building types, including hospitals, schools, courthouses, hotels and resorts, dormitories, convention centers, sports complexes, laboratories, clean rooms, and commercial, institutional, and industrial facilities. He has managed projects throughout the 48 contiguous states, Hawaii, Alaska, the Caribbean, France, England, Germany, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia.

Norman has over 40 years of experience in HVAC system design and resolving IAQ problems. He is a co-inventor of a hybrid fan coil unit with a patented control system that improves occupant comfort, increases energy efficiency, and substantially decreases initial construction costs compared to currently available equipment. He has been a technical reviewer of two manuals on IAQ problems and building commissioning with the Disney Development Company. He has also been a co-author and board reviewer for a design handbook of laboratory facilities. He has provided technical peer reviews of new facility design, representing over $1 billion in construction costs. He has served as an expert witness for HVAC system contributions to IAQ and moisture-related building failures, resulting in more than $60 million in claims awarded.
