Compliance status
met
Confidence
0.89
Importance
high
Obligated party
Engineer B
Obligation statement
Engineer B's conclusion that the original equipment sizing for hot water and heating was inadequate represents a legitimate professional judgment that may differ from Engineer A's original design decisions; this honest technical disagreement does not constitute an ethics violation and should be recognized as such by the registration board.
Temporal scope
At the time Engineer B issued the inspection report
Source Evidence
Source text
The report noted there was no problem with the design of the plumbing system, but concluded there were design inadequacies in the original sizing of the equipment for hot water and heating.
Text references
Engineer B recommended the installation of equipment of higher capacity.
