The hints of spring-

like weather have

me looking forward

to ASHRAE golf. Be

on the lookout for

tournament invita-

tions. Special thanks

to Tony Demarco,

Sam Browning, and Aric Reed for

working hard to get them organized.

I hope everyone had a happy Engi-

neer’s Week. Gov. Mike Beebe pro-

claimed February 16-22 National Engi-

neers’ Week in Arkansas. Terry Jacks

and Bill Simpson are to be applauded

for their efforts in making that hap-

pen.

I encourage everyone to register for

the Region VIII CRC (Chapters Region-

al Conference) we are hosting in Little

Rock April 24-26 at the Little Rock

Marriott (formerly the Peabody) and

the Statehouse Convention Center.

The conference will include a golf

tournament at the Maumelle Country

Board Meeting of February 5, 2014

Mark Eley—Secretary

Members Present: Dr. William Bahn-

fleth (Society President), Mark Mizell

(Chapter President), Terry Jacks

(President Elect, Programs), Forrest

Moseley (Treasurer), Mark Eley

(Secretary), Russell Black, Bill Good-

man and Kim Koch (Board of Gover-

nors), Ron McCarty (Membership

Promotion), Melanie Richardson

(Webmaster), Max Good (Reception),

Caleb Haynes (YEA), Lee Greeson

(Newsletter), Drew Grant (Honors &

Awards) and Rick Sellers (CRC)

Call to Order: 10:28 a.m.

Society President – Dr. Bahnfleth:

Discussed changes to the certifi-

cation process for labeling build-

ings.

Member involvement is a concern

everywhere. Employer support of

ASHRAE is very important. We

need to get the message out to

companies that involvement in

ASHRAE develops good leadership

skills in their employees.

Discussed engaging educators at

both the university and high

school levels to develop interest

in ASHRAE. Dr. Bahnfleth men-

tioned that many universities only

have one HVAC class in the core

Mechanical Engineering curricu-

lum.

Educators follow the money that

is available for research. If more

money is available to fund re-

search at the university level then

the industry will have more sup-

port from educators.

Society is trying to give local

chapters more autonomy to deal

with local issues. An example

would be local industry codes.

Chapter President – Mark Mizell:

Spoke about the Nominating

Committee for next year’s offic-

ers. This is covered further under

“New Business”.

Mark encouraged us all to regis-

ter early for CRC at

www.arkansasasashrae.org. Early

Bird deadline is March 15th.

All chairs and officers need to

update their PAOE points and

communicate with their RVC.

President Elect – Terry Jacks:

We have three more scheduled

programs at the monthly meet-

ings.

Next month’s meeting will be

Thursday night, March 6th at US

Pizza in Hillcrest.

The Arkansas Hall of Fame meet-

ing is being planned.

We would like more technical

awards for the chapter and are

working on one currently.

Treasurer – Forrest Moseley:

The CRC Regions Bank entry still

shows over $10,000, but is actu-

ally $2,500. Everything else has

been moved to a separate CRC

checking account.

The NWA November attendance

sheets were lost so we are asking

for those who were in attendance

to let us know so we can invoice

them. There were 40-45 people

present, but we have received

only $200 to $250.

Membership Promotion – Ron

McCarty:

We currently have ten delinquent

members.

We have twenty-two new mem-

bers, four since the last meeting.

We have two newly upgraded

memberships.

Melanie Richardson – Webmaster:

New to the calendar: There will be

a PE Exam Review consisting of a

roundtable of recent test takers.

This will be February 20th at 6PM

at TME for anyone preparing to

take the exam.

Lee Greeson – Newsletter:

The newsletter deadline is Febru-

ary 21st.

Drew Grant – Honors and Awards:

Paperwork is being submitted to

Society so that we can have a new

(Continued on page 4)

Richard Royal as speakers.

CRC is a great way to network with

ASHRAE leaders from the Society and

Regional levels, as well as from the

other chapters in our region.

Bring your spouse along as they will

have fun with companion activities to

include a river cruise, painting ses-

sion, and massage.

Numerous registration options are

available: full event, social activities

only, technical programs only, and

golf only. Young Engineers in

ASHRAE will receive a discount. Reg-

ister today at ArkansasASHRAE.org

and support our chapter. The early-

bird discount ends March 15.

March’s meetings will be geared to-

ward Student Activities. Chapter

scholarships will be awarded. The

Little Rock meeting will be at 6 p.m.

on Thursday, March 6, in the upstairs

room at U.S. Pizza at 2710 Ka-

vanaugh in Hillcrest. We will revert

back to our normal time and place

for April.

Congratulations to the Arkansas

State University Student Chapter for

being granted $5,000 through

ASHRAE’s Senior Undergraduate Pro-

ject Grant Program for their project

titled, “Retrofitting of Air Conditioner

into Experimental HVAC Training

System with Data Acquisition.”

Ron McCarty—MP Chair

As this chapter year is winding down,

and we get closer to the CRC meet-

ing, we as a committee and as chap-

ter members still need to push for

additional membership growth. This

year we have had great influx of new

members. During this year a total of

20 new members have been added to

our Chapter.

Our account delinquencies rate this

year has continued to remain higher

than it has in the past. Part of this

appears to be related to the current

economic times. The Membership

Promotion committee is going to be

making additional efforts to contact

all outstanding dues and/or can-

celled members to significantly

decrease the delinquencies rate.

As mentioned in previous newsletter

articles the Membership promotion

committee will be increasing our

efforts to communicate to those

members that are eligible to upgrade

their membership. There is no addi-

tional cost for the upgrade to

“Member” membership grade. The

Member grade provides the member

the qualification for Fellow grade. In

addition, "Member" are considered

seasoned industry professionals and

are often seen as experts. The

process for upgrading is an easy

process that can be done online by

updating your Member Bio or by

email [email protected] indica

ting an interest in advancement. As

always, if anyone has any questions

or need any assistance, please do not

hesitate to contact Ron McCarty -

Membership Promotion Chairperson

([email protected] -501-350-

5728).

Zac Buckmiller—Student Activities Chair

On February 6th and 7

th, stu-

dents from the University of

Arkansas and Arkansas State

University made their way to

Springfield, Missouri to partici-

pate in a tour of the Loren

Cook facilities. A total of

nineteen students made the

trip: nine from U of A and ten

from ASU, along with a Faculty

Advisor from each school and

two ASHRAE representatives

from TME, Inc. Loren Cook proved themselves extremely gracious hosts by

providing great hotel accommodations and meals for everyone both days, and

providing transportation in town for both groups. Thursday we were accompa-

nied to dinner by many of the Loren Cook top executives, followed by a trip to

the flagship Bass Pro Shop. Friday was also a busy day full of valuable learning

experiences in Loren Cook’s interactive learning facilities, R&D Facilities, facto-

ry, and product showcase rooms. In the interactive learning facilities, students

were given hands on demonstrations of everything from electric motor types to

heat recovery systems, including a particularly interesting activity of seeing real

-time static pressure and airflow changes caused by various duct fittings in-

stalled near a ducted fan. Testing facilities for fan performance and acoustical

analysis, along with one of many Cook Fan factories were also toured. Everyone

was also able to see products available from Loren Cook, their uses, their

unique features, and some of the engineering ideas behind different designs.

The students all really enjoyed the trip and were intent to tell their friends and

classmates about it after returning to Fayetteville and Jonesboro and to encour-

age them to make the trip next year.

A huge thanks goes out to both Airetech and Powers of Arkansas for helping

plan the trip, and of course to everyone at Loren Cook for being great hosts.

Chair

Student Activities would like to thank

Dr. Bahnfleth for taking some of his

time while in the state of Arkansas to

meet with our local student chapters

to talk ASHRAE. Being a teacher, Dr.

Bahnfleth was able to easily connect

with the student to talk about the

importance of ASHRAE in the indus-

try as well what ASHRAE can do for

them.

Congratulations to Dr. Kwangkook

and the students at Arkansas

State. Their submission to ASHRAE’s

Senior Undergraduate Project Grant

Program titled “Retrofitting of Air-

Conditioner into Experimental HVAC

Training System with Data Acquisi-

tion” was approved for foundering in

the amount of $5,000. An experi-

mental HVAC trainer will be devel-

oped by retrofitting a room air condi-

tioner. The system will be modified

with pressure gauges, thermocou-

ples, flowmeters, and DAQ. Rede-

sign follows up with students’ discus-

sion, planning, and fabrication under

advisor’s direction. The project inte-

grates students’ learned engineering

principles and benefits their hands-

on experiences.
