Well, it's the beginning of another ASHRAE year and I couldn't be more excited to be a part of the best chapter in our region! I would like to personally congratulate the Southern Piedmont Chapter for winning the Rudy! This was a team effort of the entire chapter (members and officers). Now the challenge is to repeat it this year.
As the Programs Chair, I hope to put together a schedule of informative topics that will provide a broad range of technical knowledge for our meeting attendees. If there are any topics that you feel have not been covered already, feel free to drop me a line and I will try to cover those where possible.
The September meeting topic will be "The Fundamentals of Noise Control for the HVAC Market". The presenter will be Dwight Landry of BRD Noise Control (see full bio). The meeting will be held at Byron's South End on Thursday, September 2nd. You can register and pay for the meeting by using Paypal, or pay at the door by cash or check. If paying at the door, please email me (link above) to register. Remember that if you travel via light rail, we will pay for your return trip.
The Southern Piedmont Chapter has also been designated as a Sponsor for PDH Credits in NC and will be providing certificates at every meeting this year. All Professional Engineers will receive 1 PDH for each meeting they attend where a technical topic is presented. A signup sheet will be at the registration desk. Be sure to sign up with your P.E. Number for record keeping and reporting requirements.
And finally, ASHRAE's Chapter Technology Transfer Committee (CTTC) has implemented a Distinguished Lecturer (DL) Evaluation Pilot Program for our Region IV. This program will automate evaluations following each DL visit with a linked survey form. If this program is successful, it will be expanded. It is hoped that this process will result in greater numbers of completed DL evaluations. You will receive an email after each DL visit with a link to the evaluation form. Please complete the evaluation within 48 hours.
See the complete schedule of this year's meetings. Presenters and Topics will be completed hopefully by next month's newsletter
You can pay for monthly meetings, golf outings, donations, etc on the website. You can pay via credit card or paypal account. As always checks and cash are still accepted at the door.
