August 2016

Another exciting year of programs and events is about to begin! Our first monthly lunch meeting is coming

up on September 13, 2016 at ASHRAE headquarters and we have a special guest! An ASHRAE Society Past

President, Distinguished Lecturer and one of our very own in Region IV, Tom Phoenix, will be presenting

on the updated ASHRAE Building Energy Quotient (bEQ) Energy Labeling Program. The presentation will

include an overview of the bEQ program with an up to date discussion of its primary goals, objectives and

procedures. We look forward to hearing about the progress ASHRAE has made and what to expect in the

near future.

As we continue to improve building operations and design high efficient buildings, sometimes we forget

about the occupants. In the end, we design and operate buildings for people. The new WELL standard,

which has gained a lot of momentum in recent years, is helping bring focus to wellness in buildings and

putting people front and center. From superior indoor air quality and circadian lighting to water filtration

and fitness, WELL is leading the way in occupant wellness. Our goal is to have an exciting panel and

technical session in October to help ASHRAE members understand how this new standard will impact their

roles in projects to come.

With the end of summer almost here, the Atlanta Chapter has successfully hosted this year’s Chapter

Regional Conference for Region IV at the Legacy Lodge and Conference Center located at Lanier Islands.

Big congratulations to one of our past Chapter Presidents, Brian Justice, for doing an incredible job as CRC

Chair and to his team of volunteers! The conference was a great success and praised by visiting Society

President Tim Wentz, three of our Society Vice Presidents (Patricia Graef, Ginger Scoggins and Edward

Tsu) and Executive Vice President (Jeff Littleton), all of whom were in attendance. It was a great learning

experience for our new committee chairs and chapter officers as they set their goals for the year. It is

always a pleasure to meet with our regional counter-parts from North and South Carolina, exchange ideas

and continue to improve our local chapter. Our chapter came just 1 point short of receiving the coveted

Rudy Ferguson Award! A big thank you to last year’s Chapter President, John Pruitt and all our volunteers

who did a fantastic job. We look forward to his continued involvement in the chapter and helping us

towards another successful year. We had a few more awards that will be announced at our next meeting,

so stay tuned!

We will be continuing our Fall and Spring golf tournaments this year, both of which have been our top

performers in reaching our Research Promotion donation goal. The Fall Golf Tournament is scheduled for

Wednesday October 26, 2016 at River Pines, where our last Spring Golf Tournament was hosted. More

information on registration coming soon!

I am very excited about our team of volunteers this year and can’t wait to finalize our schedule of meetings

for the year. We will be having a meeting every month with the exception of December, due to holidays,

and April, as we plan on having a Product Show complete with vendor exhibits and technical sessions. As

always, feel free to reach out to me directly if you are interested in volunteering for our chapter or have

any recommendations for the year. We welcome new volunteers and have several committee positions

available, so get signed up!

I look forward to seeing you on Tuesday, September 13th at ASHRAE headquarters for lunch at our first

meeting!
