It is definitely hard to say goodbye. I cannot believe that four months can pass by so quickly. It just seems like it was yesterday when we had our first meeting with only 10 members in an empty classroom in the CEME building. Since that time, we have seen significant interest and growth in our chapter.
Today, we have a total of 23 members and are officially recognized as an active student branch by ASHRAE. With the support of the local chapter and members from industry, I expect the coming year to be extraordinary.
Now at the end of my time as the chapter president, I just wanted to say thank you to all the members and to our branch advisor. Without you, the presentations and field trip would not have been as successful. Best of luck to all the members who have graduated and my regards to the incoming executive committee. Be optimistic and persistent and good things will follow.
Sincerely,
Minh Nguyen

Tour of C.K. Choi Building
On March 20th the student chapter was fortunate to attend a tour of a green building on UBC Campus, the C.K. Choi building. The tour was hosted by UBC Sustainability office and included things like composting toilets, passive ventilation, natural light, reused and reduced use of materials and zero effluent. Pictures from the event can be seen on the blog.
