It's March and the season is flying by, but there are still plenty of ASHRAE events going on!
The Cheryl Rossini Future Engineers Scholarship Fund will be advertised on the website, via postcard, and via email. So be on the lookout for the info and pass it along to students looking to pursue an education in Engineering.
The Boston Chapter Hall of Fame is a brand new form of recognition that the Chapter is unveiling. This will give recognition to all of the local Boston engineers who have furthered the Chapter or the engineering community. Be on the lookout for the application soon!
On February 9th we had 163 people show up to hear Allan Ames (BR+A Consulting Engineers, LLC.), Steve Mahler (Ellenzweig), and Walter Henry (Dept. of Facilities at MIT) give their presentation on "Integrating Energy Conservation Strategies into Academic Laboratory Projects". The joint meeting with the Boston Society of Architects (BSA) gave the attendees a feel for how the architect, engineer, and owner approaches the design and how they interact with one another. The presentation proved educational and it gave a great point of view from each side of the design/construction process, and as a result, the meeting was a great success!
Our next meeting will be on Tuesday March 9th and the presentation will be "CFD Analysis for Building Comfort Systems Design" and will be presented by Daniel Nall. Daniel is a Senior Vice President of WSP Flack + Kurtz in New York City and is also the Director of Sustainability for the firm. Daniel is also part of ASHRAE's Distinguished Lecturer (DL) Program.
In addition to that, we have our 2010 Product Show coming up on Tuesday April 13th at The Lantanas in Randolph, MA. Be sure to sign up for a booth with Jeff Schultz, and sign up for the Seminars with Enrique De Los Reyes (seminar information is forthcoming).
See you at the next meeting.
Bryan Hermanny, President
