ASHRAE will advance the arts and sciences of heating, ventilation, air conditioning, refrigeration and related human factors to serve the evolving needs of the public and ASHRAE members.
ASHRAE
ASHRAE, the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers is an international organization of 50,000 persons with chapters throughout the world. The Society is organized for the sole purpose of advancing the arts and sciences of heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration for the public's benefit through research, standards writing, continuing education and publications. Through its membership, ASHRAE writes standards that set uniform methods of testing and rating equipment and establish accepted practices for the HVAC&R industry worldwide, such as the design of energy efficient buildings. The Society's research program, currently more than 100 research projects worth nearly $8 million, investigates numerous issues, such as identifying new refrigerants that are environmentally safe. ASHRAE organizes broad-based technical programs for presentation at its semiannual meetings and co-sponsors the International Air-Conditioning, Heating, Refrigerating Exposition, the largest HVAC&R trade show in North America.

Our annual spring golf outing could not have had better weather. The weather brought no rain and just the right amount of breeze. Thank you to those that either participated by playing or sponsoring a hole and a special thank you to Mark Neiheisel for all the effort in putting this together. I understand Mark wants to retire as golf organizer - anyone want to step in and fill his shoes?
Thanks to all of our hole sponsors:
Don't forget the Green Expo on June 26th - ASHRAE is a co-sponsor. This is a great opportunity to pick up PDH points and update your knowledge on "Green" opportunities.
I wanted to take a moment to let all of you know that writing this note is my last action as President of Dayton ASHRAE. Larraine Kapka will be taking over the Presidency from this point forward. I have sincerely enjoyed my term and I appreciate having had the opportunity to work closely with not only the officers but also the various committees. How about giving it a chance? Get involved - you get so much more than you give! Next meeting is July 10th at 8 AM.
Best regards,
Greg Cohron, P.E.
There have been many questions from ASHRAE members regarding Continuing Professional Development (CPD) requirements for renewing Ohio PE license for Engineers. Beginning in 2007, Ohio PE Registration renewal requires 15 CPDs. The PE Registration Board does not pre-approve courses nor does the board pre-approve providers. Each Registrant is responsible for their hours and to make sure that the courses they take meet the requirements and must include technical, ethical or managerial content. Typically 50 Minutes of content would account for one CPD. There are many ways to obtain CPD's just to mention few as outlined by the Ohio PE Board are as follows:
