At AMCA, Ivanovich will lead its members as they help develop and refine energy and green-construction codes, standards and specifications; improve the level of practice in air-systems engineering and commissioning; and help position AMCA members and their products in the energy efficiency market. Regarding the status of The Ivanovich Group, Ivanovich said, “My responsibilities with AMCA are full time, but The Ivanovich Group will continue to support key clients outside the fan, louver and damper industry.”
