January Student Branch Meeting

Happy New Year everybody. I hope your break was as enjoyable mine.

Our meeting yesterday was a great success. Thanks again to the Mech department for granting us the majority of our requested 2012 budget! Among other things, we are now able to serve refreshments at the meetings and subsidize BC Chapter attendance.

Kyle Reese's talk on LEED provided some very useful and practical insight into the merits and criticisms of the rating system. Considering that one of ASHRAE's newest Standards (189.1) is based upon the LEED system, knowledge of the topic is essential to those with interest in the building system industry.

Tomorrow is the BC ASHRAE Chapter's 60th anniversary dinner at the River Rock Resort. ASHRAE Inc. President Ron Jarnagin will be there to speak on "Sustaining ASHRAE Through Leadership". If you have not RSVP'ed to the meeting I highly suggest you do since this is a VERY relevant topic to student members such as yourselves.


That's all for now. There will be more information on the presentation after the meeting.

Regards,
Jayson
