About the Author

Donald P. Gatley, PE, Fellow ASHRAE, is a 1954 mechanical engineering graduate of Vanderbilt University. His career includes 13 years with the Trane Company, 8 years in design/build mechanical contracting, and 30+ years in the practice of consulting engineering. Outside activities include service as chair of Georgia's building energy code committee and as president of the Southface Energy Institute. He is known for his work in the prevention and correction of building moisture problems, energy conservation in buildings, and with hotels. He is a recipient of the ASHRAE Distinguished Service Award and two ASHRAE International Energy Awards. Gatley also authored the EPRI Cool Storage Ethylene Glycol Design Guide (1992), the EPRI Cool Storage Open Hydronic Systems Design Guide (1995) and two chapters of the Mold & Mildew Handbook published by the American Hotel and Motel Association (1991) and co-authored Moisture and Mildew Control (1992). He has written more than 30 articles on flow diagrams, central drinking water systems, the control of DX cooling coils, life-cycle cost of central chilled water plants, effective air-side design, gas phase filtration of exhaust air, thermal storage systems, quieting residential systems, moisture control in the home, and enhanced dehumidification systems. In 2003, he joined with Professors Sebastian Herrmann and Hans-Joachim Kretzschmar of the Department of Technical Thermodynamics, Zittau/Goerlitz University of Applied Sciences, Zittau, Germany for four psychrometric research projects: Determination of a Twenty-First Century Molar Mass for Dry Air Determination of Thermodynamic and Transport Properties of Humid Air for Power-Cycle Calculations for PTB-Bericht RP-1485, Thermodynamic Properties of Real Moist Air, Dry Air, Steam, Water, and Ice for ASHRAE Real Humid Air Psychrometric Function Add-Ins named LibHuAirProp for Excel, MATLAB, Mathcad, and EES.
