ASHRAE® Long Island
Research Promotion
I would like to thank the companies who have participated in the annual 2012 Product Directory of Manufacturers and their Representatives. The Product Directory has been prepared as a service to all its members and as a service to the local HVAC industry. It will be will be made available to all ASHRAE and non-ASHRAE members at no-cost and can be obtained from our monthly meetings or directly from our website. The Directory is intended to provide better communications between manufacturers and their sales representatives; engineers who specify products; contractors who purchase and install the equipment; and other interested parties. Product Directory listings are not limited to ASHRAE members and the listings are not to be considered as advertising or endorsement by ASHRAE of any product, manufacturer or representative. This year’s overall resource promotion goal is $2,001,900 with over 75 research projects on board. Our chapter is ex-pected to raise approximately $13,881 towards the overall goal of which we have already raised $5,822. I am hoping I can count on the continued support of all of our past contributors who have generously supported us over the years. I also look forward to gaining the support of new contributors this coming year. Please help support ASHRAE in any way you can. I would like say ‘thank you’ to all the contributors listed below whom have already donated to ASHRAE this year: INDIVIDUALS
