October BC ASHRAE Chapter Meeting

Firstly, I would like to thank everyone from the Student Branch that attended the BC ASHRAE meeting last week. Our turnout was so good that some people were confused as to whether or not it was Student Night!

The BC Chapter meetings are a great networking experience and can provide insight into practices used in industry. Dennis Knight's presentation on BIM (Building Information Modelling) demonstrated many of the uses and advantages of an integrated design system.

I will continue to keep student branch members up to speed with the scheduling of UBC Student Branch and BC Chapter meetings, and look forward to seeing everyone again at the November Student Branch meeting.

October Student Branch Meeting

Hi Everyone,

I would like to thank everyone that came out to our first UBC ASHRAE Student Branch meeting of the new school year. The meeting featured Chris Collett, the current President of the BC ASHRAE Chapter, for a presentation on IAQ. Chris's presentation was very interesting and shed light on common problems and troubleshooting strategies in managing IAQ.

The next BC Chapter meeting is on Thursday, October 13th at the Italian Cultural Center. You can find the meeting itinerary at the following link: http://ashrae.bc.ca/bc/meetings/2011/ASHRAE_Oct_2011_%20Meeting_Notice.pdf . The cost for students is $10, and it is well worth it. If you are interested in carpooling or going as a group, you can contact me at ubcashrae@gmail.com.

I will be in touch with current members over the next few weeks as I arrange a site visit and November meeting. If you are reading this and are interested in joining the student branch, you can reach me at the email above.
