Earlier
e-books on the Heritage Group website have
provided mini-biographies of pioneers who made
important contributions to building engineering
services design and equipment.
These new pioneer revisited
biographies depict in much greater detail their contribution to the Built
Environment, being the result of more extensive
in-depth research.
The series lists 30 pioneers in the
fields of heating, air conditioning and
refrigeration as well as in lighting and
electrical engineering.
Most provide a record of the
pioneer’s ancestry, their life and family
including birth, education, marriage, awards,
death and memorials, listing their achievements in
much greater detail. All this is now accompanied
by many more new and larger illustrations,
covering their sketch
books and inventions, equipment, their companies,
publications, their involvement in notable
buildings and examples of patent diagrams.
