ASHRAE® Long Island
Presidents Message
Happy New Year!! I’d like to welcome you all to the second half of the ASHRAE year, where we promise to have more great presentations. In December we had our annual Holiday Party, where all members eat and drink for free, and I hope all that attended had a nice evening. The Photography team, aka Rich Rosner & Don Kane took plenty of great pictures you can see in the newsletter!
Every January people make a new year’s resolution, or a plan on what they want to focus on “being better at”. I think as a group we should focus on being better communicators. Our board meets every month and is in constant contact with one another trying to make sure that the group as a whole feels like they are benefitting from being a member. In order to stay strong I urge each of you to pick a board member and tell them what you like, dislike or would hope to see out of the organization in the months and years to come.
This month our speaker will be Roy Hubbard, Jr. and he will be presenting on Chiller Optimization. Based in York, Pa., Mr. Hubbard travels extensively to present customer seminars and speak before industry and professional groups. Roy’s experience spans over three decades, and is a noted expert on energy and energy calculations. Our group will also be having part 2 of our Back to Basics class, which is going to be given by Evans Lizardos. This means you will earn 2 PDH credits for attending the January meeting.
On another note January 21-25 is the AHSRAE Winter Meeting in Chicago. In last month’s newsletter I noted a few of the courses that will be given during this week, but you can also visit www.ashrae.org for a full list of courses. If you do go to the conference, even if you just visit the Expo, please send me an email at carote@adehvac.com, as we get credit for the local chapter for each member that heads out to the show! The EXPO will be held at McCormick Place 2301 S. Lake Shore Drive, and is shaping up to be the largest AHR Expo ever, hosting more than 2,000 exhibiting companies from over 30 countries from around the globe.
I would like to mention the February meeting now, as it will not only be a joint meeting with the USGBC, but due to scheduling be on the third Tuesday of the month. Since this is not the usual meeting date please mark your calendars in advance for Feb 21, 2012. Paul Meyer P.E. will be speaking and it will also be Resource Promotion and Membership Promotion night. If you bring down a new member both you and that new member will eat for free!
I look forward to seeing you all on January 10th.
