ASHRAE Fellow Paul Halyard, PE did a great YEA Topic on “Brief History of Air Conditioning in Orange County”. The young engineers and students were listening with rapt attention as Orlando’s HVAC history came alive.
The October meeting was a perfect example how your ASHRAE chapter is making a special effort to reach out to our sister organizations. Irrespective of our views of global warming, one thing is for sure the sustainable and green movement has created a sense of “common purpose” among a truly diverse group of professional organizations. No one group can address the issues at hand single handedly.
We look forward to another great joint meeting in November. We are teaming up with the building engineers of BOMA and IFMA. Another group of ASHRAE members who will truly benefit from this meeting is our mechanical service contractors. We will be offering free PDH’s at this meeting.
An ASHRAE distinguished lecturer, a great topic, FREE PDH’s and the usual camaraderie, networking and good ole’ fun – Talk about a true bang for your buck!
