Tuesday, November 10, 2015 Variations and Influence of Ambient Conditions

on Building Design Including Super Tall Buildings

Southcote 53 Tap and Grill

With the increase in building heights come engineering challenges which must be resolved. This seminar provides information about the use of weather data including vertical climate changes and its effects on Super Tall Buildings as well as the use of weather data from Toronto on buildings elsewhere in Ontario and the impact on design decisions.

Duncan Phillips, Principal at RWDI Consulting in the Science of Buildings, Structures, and Environment

Dr. Duncan Philips is involved in project execution and developing new method-ologies for analyzing buildings and the urban realm. He has worked on many projects where the intention is to "manipulate" wind and outdoor temperature to achieve the right level of infiltration into naturally ventilated buildings and stadia (not too much, not too little) as well as generate perceptions of cooler streetscapes and occupied spaces. Some of the unique projects he has been involved with include sand mitigation for railways in the Middle East, stack ef-fect in supertall buildings and a couple of net zero cities.

President's Report

Hello ASHRAE Hamilton! Fall is upon us and the ASHRAE season is run-ning full out. I’m very proud of the executive. There are many exciting initiatives that each of them are executing. We’re really focusing on

cultivating a strong student presence and partic-ipation in the chapter to ensure that we keep the future leaders of the industry involved in the chapter. We were at McMaster for our October meeting. I always love being back at my old school. I even made it over to my favourite campus bar (The Phoenix) after the meeting. Great times and great memories. Thank you to John Gowing for refreshing my psychrometric skills and demonstrating different dehumidification strate-gies. Looking forward to seeing all of you in Novem-ber for our next meeting! Cheers, John Molnar, P.Eng, LEED AP Hamilton Chapter President 2014-2016

Student Sponsorship

The Hamilton Chapter is thrilled to sponsor one qualifying student member who has an interest in attending the 2016 ASHRAE Winter Confer-ence in Orlando, FL.

The selected student will have their registration, travel, and hotel expenses covered by the Chapter and will have a fantastic opportunity to network with the industry’s best and learn what the HVAC industry has to offer. More details and an application form start on Page 8.

Golf Tournament Location 2016

By the time you read this, you should have re-ceived a “Survey Monkey” from me requesting your thoughts on next year’s Hamilton Chapter Golf Tournament. The “Survey Monkey” really has the important questions I need answered, however, to re-

emphasize, I am looking at Glen Abbey in Oakville. HOWEVER, the date MUST BE Tuesday, May 24th. (This would be the day after the long weekend.) Before I book this, please give me your feed-back. It is instrumental as I do not want to book this and have less than my 120 guaranteed golfers required. Thanks. I look forward to reading your replies! David Rasmussen, C.E.T. Social Chairman 2016

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 2015/16 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 9.

ASHRAE Research Fundraising ASHRAE research funds directly benefit members by funding research that updates the Society’s standards and guidelines and is shared through special publications and articles in the ASHRAE Journal. A selection of Canadian research funded by ASHRAE can be seen in the sidebar on the right. Research funds come from member and corporate donations, a percentage of mem-ber dues, and income from the AHR Expo at the ASHRAE conferences. The Hamilton Chapter has a goal of raising $9,000 this year. All of the money we raise will go di-rectly to research in Canada.

We will be recognizing last year’s donors during the November meeting and would like to invite them to attend to receive a certificate. Our 2014/2015 research donors:

Max Andronowski, Andronowski & Assoc. William McCartney, Isotherm Engineering George Menzies David Rasmussen Frank Mesicek, Johnson Controls Neil Smith, Arvin Air Systems Madok Manufacturing O’Dell Associates Darryl Singleton, Aquatech Dave Lipset, Air Audit John Kokko, Enermodal Engineering Mike Krewski, Renewability Robyn Ellis, City of Hamilton Emerson Climate Technologies Reaz Usmanali, Johnson Controls John Molnar, Armstrong Fluid Technology Iain Hill, Johnson Controls Mark Long, Systemair Joseph Lee I would like to invite all Hamilton Chapter mem-bers to invest in this Canadian research that ben-efits our industry. You can talk to me at the next meeting or contact me by email. Contributions can also me made online at www.ashrae.org/contribute. Be sure to pick Ashrae Research Canada on the form.
