BC ASHRAE Past Presidents Meeting

Hi Everyone,

Last weeks BC ASHRAE lunch meeting was a great chance to meet past and current leadership within ASHRAE. Current ASHRAE Society President Tom Watson was the guest speaker. He gave an enlightening presentation on the direction of ASHRAE as a whole, and some suggestions on how we can improve from within. As the theme of the meeting would suggest, Toms major points revolved around cultivating leadership within ASHRAE and upholding our main objectives of designing and building the best buildings possible.

Thanks to everyone that attended, and I look forward to seeing you at future ASHRAE events when I am in the industry.

Cheers,
Jayson

February 2013 UBC ASHRAE Meeting

Hi Everyone,

This month's UBC ASHRAE Student Branch meeting was a great success, with a turnout of seven committed UBC ASHRAE members. Branislav (Baki) Cvijetinovic gave a very thorough presentation on HVAC mechanical design, with an emphasis on ducting and piping design. On behalf of the student branch, I would like to thank Baki for taking the time to enrich the UBC learning experience with his industry knowledge.

Our next meeting will be in March before the final exam period. Also, if you are interested in going to the February BC ASHRAE meeting please follow the link below to the meeting notice and RSVP.

UBC ASHRAE in the New Year

Hi Everybody,

I hope the winter break was as enjoyable for you as it was for me. Now that we're back to class, it's time for UBC ASHRAE to continue adding value to your educational experience through HVAC&R mentorship. We plan to have a meeting featuring a guest speaker on HVAC mechanical design later this month (date TBD). We also look forward to the industry related input from new members that have returned from their first coop terms.

I will contact all student branch members soon with details and changes for the new term. As always, if you have any questions related to HVAC&R feel free to send me an email and I'll get back as soon as possible.

Cheers,
Jayson

E.H. Price Tour

Hi All,

I would like to thank Justin Chu of E.H. Price and everyone that came out to the E.H. Price facility for making the event a success. Justin's presentation on ventilation provided valuable industry knowledge that is applicable to all facets of HVAC design.

Our next meeting will be later in the fall. I will keep everyone posted on the exact time and location as the details come to light.

As always, if you have any questions pertaining to the HVAC&R industry feel free to ask.

Cheers,
Jayson

President's Welcome

Hi Everyone,

I hope you all had a good summer and are looking forward to another year at UBC. As returning President I hope to build upon the success of last year, and to ensure that the UBC ASHRAE Student Branch remains sustainable long past my graduation. Our executive this year consists of myself, Vice President Manmohan Daid, and Secretary/Treasurer James Montgomery.

Manmohan was previously the Secretary/Treasurer for the student branch, and brings the expertise of an HVAC diploma to our group. James is a PhD candidate who specializes in filtration research, and will bring invaluable experience to our group.

As for our upcoming events, we will have our first meeting of the 2012-2013 school year in mid-September, which will be followed by a tour of the E.H. Price facility toward the end of September. Note that the dates are still tentative pending the schedules of incoming members returning from coop work terms. After this we will continue to have meetings on a monthly basis featuring guest speakers from industry and will have another tour in the spring.

I will update all members when the dates are solidified. As always, if you have any questions don't hesitate to email me at ubcashrae@gmail.com.

Cheers,
Jayson
