Hi there! I’m a Civil Engineer, new to EA, and I’ve definitely felt lost among the Econ/Policy/SWE people that seem to be overly represented in EA circles. Dont get me wrong, they make for great company, but it does feel like the physical implementation of High Impact Projects has been largely overlooked. I’m so glad to hear that there will soon be a community based around implementation and I would love to learn more!
HVAC is mechanical engineering. ASHRAE is the main professional body of mechanical engineers that works on ventilation standards and guidance for reducing aerosol transmission.
Awesome! There are a lot of high-impact projects that require civil engineering expertise in biorisk mitigation (as AllAmericanBreakfast has said), but also general civilisational resilience. There’s a SHELTER weekend happening in August where you can help to explore concrete steps (pun not intended) for the implementation of civilisational shelters (read more here).
If you’re looking to do something more long-term, Ulrik Horn (also commented on this post) is looking for talent to join his bioweapons shelter project, which you can read more about here: Fønix: Bioweapons shelter project launch. We will keep the Discord and newsletter updated with any other relevant projects/initiatives that we hear about!

Do you do HVAC at all? There’s a big need for people with experience in this space for biorisk mitigation.
