Said Turgeon, “Over the past 40 years, elevator in- terface controls have been significantly upgraded to maximize speed and safety for the public, the workers and all personnel involved in an emergency situation.” Participants found the program extremely helpful. Said Wendy Castro-Far- rell , senior project man- ager, design & construction, The Rockefeller Group , “I gained insights from this which will be helpful in my work with the design team.” Emily Kotsaftis, AIA, LEEDAPBD + C , Dattner Architects , said, “I wanted to learn more about fire operations so I could bet- ter understand the relation between smoke detection, sprinklering and elevator operations. This was defi- nitely helpful.” Olga Vinogradova, Esq. , said, “I represent clients, construction companies or developers, who often face issues of building according to code including fire safety. By offering information on how elevator interface is structured for emergency operations, this course add- ed a technical perspective to the legal one.” The course offered CEU credit.
