Energy Efficiency Options
For Commercial Refrigeration
Vince Zolli, P. Eng
VP of Engineering, KeepRite Refrigeration
Legislation in both Canada and the US, along with the demand of going Green, have resulted in new energy efficiency options available in com-mercial refrigeration. An overview of the future legislation will be pre-sented along with what new technologies are available to help with the demand of going green and which will help achieve the efficiency stand-ards of the near future. Vince Zolli was born in raised in Brantford, Ontario and Graduated from McMaster University in 2002 with a degree in Mechanical Engineer-ing. Hired as a student in 2000 with KeepRite Refrigeration, Vince went on to work full time at KeepRite Refrigeration following his graduation at McMaster. His time at KeepRite Refrigeration has seen him hold several positions and currently holds the position of Vice President of Engineer-ing.

President’s Report
We finished the 2016/2017 ASHRAE Season with our best Golf Tournament ever. Thanks again to our Special Events Chair David Ras-mussen!
That also marked the end of two enthusiastic years with John Molnar’s leadership as Chapter President. Thank you John! I am very excited what the next two years have in store for the ASHRAE Hamilton Chapter. I am very thankful to be the Chapter President for this term and am
blessed with an excellent team of volunteers. We are looking for more volunteers that can join the various committees. The committee chairs are listed in the masthead on page one. Please contact them directly if you wish to volunteer. Frank Mesicek, C.E.T., PMP Hamilton Chapter President, 2016-2018
Student Membership Promotion
The Hamilton Chapter is excited to continue its initiative to promote and support students that wish to explore the opportunities ASHRAE can provide.
For the 2016/17 year, the Chapter is sponsoring students who sign up to become student mem-bers by funding their membership dues for one year. More details start on Page 6.
Golf Tournament Re-Cap
The Summer of 2016 will go down as one of the warmest, with a record number of 30C+ days. The temperature on our golf day reached 28C and actually had 4 holes where it rained. Most of you know how little rain we have had over my 27 years as Tournament Organizer. This year’s event was held at Glendale Golf & Country Club in Hamilton, a first ever for our Chapter. We had a Scramble Format and this year’s winning 4some of Michael Harris, J.S. Rancourt, Adam Oatman and Josh Cox fin-ished at 11 under Par. Christine Kemp won the Ladies Longest Drive and Glenn Kilmer won the Men’s. Surprisingly Christine is a member of the Ottawa Valley Chapter and Glenn is a member in Toronto. New this year, 2 Ladies from the Investors Group set up on Hole #4. Nobody got a Hole in One, however the ladies drew a name for a Custom built Putter which was won by Jim Hick-ey. The 2017 Golf Tournament location has yet to be determined. I will give lots of notice of the date once finalized. David Rasmussen, C.E.T. Social Chairman

around 800 people.

ity, the 2016 edition includes a major change to the scope of the standard by which residential occupancies are moved from Standard 62.1 to
Standard 62.2.
Standard 135-2016, BACnet-A Data Commu-nication Protocol for Building Automation

denda and more than 400 new pages to meet the growing list of included building types and
systems. Standard 90.4-2016 -- Energy Standard for
Data Centers (ANSI Approved) A newly published energy standard for data
centers features a performance based ap-proach that is more flexible and accommodating
of innovative changes that rapidly occur in de-sign, construction, and operations in that indus-
try.
ASNI/ASHRAE Standard 90.4-2016, Energy Standard for Data Centers, establishes the mini-mum energy efficiency requirements of data
centers for design and construction, operation and maintenance, and for utilization of renewa-
ble energy resources.
